I am just back from Robinson’s Outdoor Store

My Gift Card

I believe the daughter is the owner now. The store is a long time resident, since 1929. They have been a family business through thick and thin. The store is now very old but has a face lift where it counts: location, location, location.

The niche in the system is worth describing but you must go see for yourself. I think you can make out the address on the pic above.

I went in and noticed it is structured like some of the elite hiking stores or bike shops in Victoria, B.C. They all use a nesting local that shows proprietary mean and purposes. It is a cosy layout and leaves plenty of merchandise for pick up and information at your finger tips. You have a friendly and informed staff that can be contacted in many ways. You may try out all your usual methods and learn something for yourself during your fishing exhibition along the way.

I still have my ideas and gift card for a visit another day.

Looking Higher This Fourth of July: A 250th Anniversary Meditation on the Sky

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

This Saturday, I am proudly celebrating right alongside our American neighbours. It is a beautiful country with an undeniable, forward-moving spirit, marking a massive milestone: exactly 250 years since 1776.

Now, I know that for some people, celebrating right at this moment might feel a little complicated or problematic given the noise of the modern world. But as the fireworks light up the night sky this weekend, I want to ask you to direct your attention just a little bit higher. Look past the flashing lights and smoke, and consider a quiet, monumental victory: the steady, historic healing of the Earth’s ozone layer.

A recent announcement on Facebook completely blew up my universe in the best way possible by reminding us that the deepest wound we ever accidentally inflicted on our atmosphere is on track to completely heal by 2066.

This isn’t about getting bent out of shape over the past. Instead, it is a beautiful reminder of what happens when humans choose to work together. We identified a few deeply harmful habits that weren’t helping anyone, we collectively agreed to stop them, and we stepped aside to let the universal qualities of nature do the heavy lifting. As you watch the fireworks tonight, give yourself just a minute to think about that quiet quantum healing process happening right above us. It turns out that even a nation as great as the United States can use a little help from the universe now and then—and it is a wonderful reason to be grateful.

The Personal Philosophy Practice

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

What is the idea? Is it a way to get to know a better self by loosing bad habits and finding new ones?

Who is selling it and why? There is self care and personal medicine and a way to deal with self help.

People can learn it and practice it for themself or learn it from a philosophical councillor and maybe get it through some research and pick ing it up through self care or all the above. You need to ask for help sometimes.

Doctors try to use “do no harm”, as do may people and we try other kinds of good habits why not as a personal philosophy? Do no harm with self care and you start an entry level personal philosophy right there.

Meditation is a practice that practices philosophy through good intention and awareness , relaxation , meditation and visualization. It is also a way into a personal philosophy

As is any religion and sometimes we find it in the gym and through better living practices.

If a person joins any of these groups through school there is a lot more information and there is even more on the internet.

So why listen to an arrival of something in plain sight? It is abstract and new in the sense that stoicism became popular. Which is still kind of new.

Mental health is a curious way to look at personal philosophy practice. Something like Behaviour Therapy or B. F. Skinner with Walden Two. He kind a wrote a book about it and history records the genesis of it like philosophy or religion. Citywide use seems to still practice community this way.

Fancy ideas like freedom:: accountability and responsibility. And good habits, bad habits and virtues or vices are a similar pathway to a personal philosophical practice and teachers can help with it.

I think living better and more often is the critical thinking habit that makes the practice take hold and blossom into a life long habit.

I like compassionate nonviolence and the abstract idea but get a lot more out of an actual practice.

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

It looks like this is the last time in Victoria BC for us to be doing our little change here: spring ahead an hour.

But that doesn’t mean that it’s over yet, you have to know spring ahead an hour and then you know in November we will be just staying here. We’re not changing, everything’s gonna be good moving forward, but yeah, I guess it’s the last day that you have a chance to adjust , I would definitely get up early on Saturday morning but well I guess it’s too late for most of you and a good thing that most people don’t loose much sleep, so you know you lose it an or something that’s not too bad when you spring ahead like this yeah usually you’re fairly well and you’re probably motivated to start to exercising stuff more which is great or so.
