Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Wednesday, 12 August 2015. WW: Forest fire sunset. The fire is a few miles west of this ridge; prevailing winds brought the smoke this way, creating this bloody [and I mean that literally] sunset.). WW: Forest fire sunset. Olympia summer sunset Wordless Wednesday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I devoted my life to Zen practice many years ago. "That which does not kill me, makes me kinder.".

Rusty Ring: Hermitcraft: Rushlight (Candle Lantern)
http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2012/04/hermitcraft-rushlight-candle-lantern.html
Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Thursday, 5 April 2012. Hermitcraft: Rushlight (Candle Lantern). Every hermit needs a rushlight. It's a meditation candle, a trail light, and general illumination where there is no electricity. I made this one before I went into the woods. Last summer, and it served daily and well. As you can see, this is bindle. And a few minutes later it rotates back and lasers me again. A hole can only do this until the flame burns past it, but a slit can pester you all night. Worse...

Rusty Ring: Product Review: The Mobile Meditator Zafu
http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/05/product-review-mobile-meditator-zafu.html
Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Thursday, 19 May 2011. Product Review: The Mobile Meditator Zafu. One of the drawbacks of writing a hermit blog is you don't get to write many product reviews. As a rule, hermits don't "do" products; products mean materialism, which means consumerism, which means buying things, which means having money, which means valuing money. Which we also don't do. (Forget ice to Eskimos; the real test of salesmanship is selling anything. To a hermit.). The only other product.

Rusty Ring: How to Meditate
http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-meditate.html
Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Thursday, 14 November 2013. More experienced sitters may also find Meditation Tips. Meditation is easy to do but challenging to learn, mostly because it is. So easy; practitioners either don't talk about technique at all, or tart it up with so much precious tripe it's hard to discern the fundamentals. When I became a hermit monk. With the Internet and common sense my only master, I had some difficulty getting the hang of this sitting thing. We don't meditate to accompl...

Rusty Ring: Hermitcraft: Bindle Oryoki Set
http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2015/06/hermitcraft-oryoki-set.html
Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Thursday, 4 June 2015. Hermitcraft: Bindle Oryoki Set. Though the word translates as "just enough", oryoki has grown to mind-numbing complexity in Zen monasteries, where every second of every meal is carefully choreographed. Beginners often view this mealtime ritual as an onerous pack of made-up fuss, but in fact it's the most efficient way to get lots of people through a full-course meal and back to work. (Once everyone's mastered it, anyway.). The elements, with appr...

Splendor In A Plastic World: August 2015
http://splendorinaplasticworld.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Splendor In A Plastic World. Because a life unexamined is lived without intention. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Morning light burns the lingering mist from the trees as my white. Company van trundles over rickety brick streets, thumping to a stop at the light. The red disk glows with a thin damp halo, summer’s humidity already dragging hazy fingers across the cobalt sky. Spinning tires hum over grey pavement, weaving through the meandering pulse of the radio and my mind wanders…. We’ll make a list of f...

Splendor In A Plastic World: July 2013
http://splendorinaplasticworld.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Splendor In A Plastic World. Because a life unexamined is lived without intention. Thursday, July 18, 2013. We hit 92* today. Molten lava, the sun was. Melting the clouds from the sky; searing the green from the dogwood leaves leaving crisp, curled brownness behind. Pouring coffee this morning, the warmth of the day teased me; its breath stirring the wisps of hair on my neck that had escaped the knot, whispering promises of fever. And yet.another heat. May the world ignite. Friday, July 12, 2013. Seeing ...

Rusty Ring: Hermitcraft: Hermit Bread
http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/02/hermitcraft-hermit-bread.html
Reflections of an old-timey hermit. Thursday, 17 February 2011. UPDATE: If you landed here looking for the recipe for Scottish Oat Bannocks, it's here. Bread It's a sourdough. Recipe with ancient antecedents, among them the skillet bread dear to my Old Settler. Nothing boosts a sagging spirit like hot hermit bread and tea. For all that, it's ridiculously basic, and easy to make. And it still rolls out a great pizza dough. 2 cups sourdough starter. About 2 cups flour. 1 tsp soda mixed with 1/4 cup flour.
