so, in fact... zen.

Hard little word i just wish thrre was simething that says a little more in one word.

Real zen that has settled within

possibly best summed up by even a tad buggered by some bug ( i never complain anyway we forget the bugs we dont get, meaning i havent even had more than a couple of flus a decade)

three month mojo -25%  or even 35% 

is good for the soul ... a pause a stop even.

a punctuation mark. 

Once one is beyond it, timewise... Be it a full stop or semi colon, then the next phrase can fell  completely new and the head all cleared out of flotsam and pollution...

in other words  during a period of the bugs being rather more in charge than on the normal balanced bodily symbiosis ... its a shame in fact its hard to truly embody zen and chant the truth " when it clears i will be better off! " 

so zen is a tough one

hindsight is not in the moment, its after the semi colon

is zen almost always a thing of hindsight? in truth. though some pretend otherwise to look zenned.

Anyway in fact 14 years i have been messing about trying to get good engaging real words on a range of oages and many gigabytes of rough bits of film,  about small scale living... small space....

but more so really living in the 'now' 

I can read and take in the toughest if literature ...but i dont like preaching to the converted ( to simpler living and less consumerism) so... always added in fruity language and even maybe seemingly vulgar takes on life.

because if you  actually  care about the environment it is the 'masses' you have to reach.... who in truth and i have explored this endlessly, truly rezent any idea their lifestyle will be cut back... 

the utter vutriol now over suggestions of ' zero carbon' = stop driving big vehicles quite a lot.

personally i wish never ever to drive a car or van ever again it is SO bad for the iverall wellbeing, engaging with surrounds...and passing walkers or farmers, even

4 years once no vehicle... hard hills up and down 5 km to shops or busstop...

paradise.

such zen and a diferent bodymind  mentality and bodily balance  gradually entirely takes over .... the body does gradually transform when every day it is only about bodily performance... new habits regarding footwork etc...  and footwear becomes life itself though you never need walking boots! they constrain... ankles need to move blah blah...

 ...back in a motor after a few years of bicycle or foot only... always is negative really quite horrid

ohh for a tandem! 

one day...

or just someone else to alternate driving the bloody car with...

i have had enough life is too short for this so dull perfirmative atomised "im alright jack....in  my car " 

Anyway

what i have learned especially from the glorious slowdown,  and talk even to passing gentry with time on her hands... in 2020! 

is the top 1/3.. well they think they are...

became so much more subtly " my bloody castle/land...keep out" or in more subtle ways domineering ... they feel a tgreat yo their lifestyle so in all sirts of ways they now chip away... power... power is all they think matters... even if it is from a seemingly humble but rich ( inherited) Christians desk  " you cannot be right about things even law  even if you suposedly got some press and website admiration by Londons most famous anti elite but elite qc" 

 point. forget reaching the posher lot with tales of cutting back and simplifying. 

The rest... i know that pious and earnest NEVER works .. ever...in uk.... .  except with thise already living small space and low footprint by categorical choice....

even if they cannot ever nowadays  manage two per chimney ...always a reason why not once they...even they ..have their little castle ( as years of being their allies only time and again demonstrated)

so... how can one maybe be of interest to the great majority, who anyway consume ...overconsume ..  the majority anyway...

they dont like pious and elite sounding content...

if we ate here as 'service' to others..  theyre the ones to serve... they hurt when they lose their lifestyle... so to reach 'them'... help them take note: less really really IS more!  

and mean it all always, all the way .

somehow always in the back of my head ...

but maybe its an impossible idea...

been pondering a long time

https://bullshitoff-grid.blogspot.com/2021/06/i-care-about-off-grid-i-dont-care-about.html?m=1

what is the the key locked away cemented under the quay to all that...?

'reaching' .. the ones who really would benefit more ... 

i give up. And one certainly cannot properly attempy that alone as one encounters so much agression even from so called many year friends when one suggests their petrol may not be as flowing one day... ( i never do, but many assume  you mean that as soon as you even utter ' simplify' )  ...you do need someone not to "watch your back" so much as to reinforce you're not a lone fruitbat...

 and add authority to many authoratative  stories of  for certain simpler living being literaly a life saver  when facing tough emotional periods, for example

but its avout tge true mindful magic... that cones along and thrills in all this cutting back...

but magic needs authority too... or at least rhetoric thats so authoratative its kindof bulletproof...

and tvat rhetoric is akways more piwerful if two are tandeming along attempting to describe the same road

snd obviously their body language must be authoratitively  100% authentic...

i knew one once who had it but they good as did her in....
