“Consciousness is a factor in every aspect of the multiverse. Quantum math needs a viewpoint, or it doesn’t work. Just try to remember not to confuse consciousness with ego. Two completely different things – and of the two, ego’s the disposable one.”
Neil Gaiman, InterWorld
Wow, this really struck a chord with me.
smArt…
seen on the streets of Coimbra. there is a lot of (student/youth?) opposition to the dramatic rise in tourism here. a city with a lot of graffiti messages – for once i wish there was just a bit more art…
yer dead in the head;
so afraid to be lead
to bed as was said.
yer paid with lead;
like bread to be fed,
and wed as was read.
Long weekend in Gerês trekking, picnicking, relaxing and having fun.
A couple of us have been working for a month or two now to create an online database of needs for people who were badly hit by the fires. This covers the whole of the interior of Central Portugal. The idea is for donors and helpers to be able to focus on finding exactly what people are looking for to put their lives back together again.
Please use it and share it!

I have developed a WordPress Plugin for running the Needs Database – if you require something similar please ask and i will share it.
Much has been burned in the Arganil area and beyond.
My farm in Monte Frio has been completely burnt & charred – thankfully the house that was being reconstructed is untouched as until now it was only stone walls.
Here are some pics i took over the weekend.
long weekend of fire watching and evacuation of friend’s goats
What is time but the space between objects?
What are objects but the time of a space?
What is space but the object of time?
The faster we go, the slower our world.
The brighter we are, the darker our shadows.
The harder we push, the softer their pull.
All things are connected by nothing, and nothing is made up of all things.
Atop the rock upon which i built
my sacred tower of stones that tilt,
she nibbles on the moss there grows;
Dainty, poised – her balance shows.
It could easily come crashing down
As shes turns herself nimbly around –
Destroying the pillar either by intent,
the result is the same, if its accident.
A precarious position i can only observe
in case my proximity breaks her nerve.
And so i pause with breath baited
hoping she spares what was created.
