Reflections and writing warm up

Berkeley, Sunday, March 8, 2026 2:14 PM

I wish, or rather I do not wish? OK. I wish I were immune to the stats and search queries that an application like this one, wordpress, for writing blogs, which background, I do not know much, but one pays a certain fee per year to have this access. to write.

Of course, if it were a business, I guess people can track much more things, might be including an IP address.

Here it is not case. But it shows you from where people have accessed to this blog, which posts they have read, and might be, although, I do not know how accurate is that one, which searches visitors have made.

Of course the online business, social media, and might be, including linkedin, hopefully I am wrong in this one, will continue sending you or showing you, once you enter, the field you want to hear about. If I were to check the stats for instance, and make a business of it, I could write more to what people want to hear.

Same, and even I have received that advice, when writing a paper, try to target to the audience to make it interesting.

Well. OK. Jesus, the Lord, also talked in parables I guess to make it accessible to the audience, although, his disciples asked him to be straightforward to them in their teachings.

The point is that it is true that one might need an easy familiar point of access to start making one’s argument.

But the practice of suiting that argument to the audience, I do not agree. Although, one tries very hard in this life to be slave, looking for one job or another. One stills owns its own mind, discernment, soul, and ask to the Lord to be an instrument of His.

Same as the prophets and truth seekers, and truth tellers, and wisdom builders, and soul fountains, and spirit rivers. I went off with several of the terminology. We are call in this life to try to search for the truth. But it is extremely hard to have the statue or height or level to be martyrized.

What I mean is not being afraid to tell the truth is to stand up and face conflict as needed.

However, I do not agree that purposeful silence and purposeful prayer is not also a source of action.

I have seen at first hand the power of the rosary to take inmediate action wheather it was a coincide or not in situations out of control of several human hands.

Thus, if one is flooded by alerts of an algorithm even if it is something productive. I do not want to point to specific pages anymore. The problem is that we start receiving something that we have not asked for. One is not in full control regarding soliciting. But the virtual space also exists in space and in time. Someone designed those flooded algorithms and propaganda which at some point might influence one’s thinking, if one starts reading to them.

Then they succeed in taking your time.

One need them for specific purpose. i.e. buying something, or searching something, or selling something, or offering something.

It is hard to be in control. But very hard if one disconnects from the beauty of the outdoors. The smell of the spring flowers.

The blue sky. The breeze.

A prayer or a psalm written by king David.

I was interrupted by a brief conversation and a cool confession.

In any case, the wondering might started going off.

It was hard to reach a conclussion.

I am about to read about fluvial process in geomorphology, and then I will do my edits.

But I will need to write elsewhere facts I have learned.

One thing regarding the self-reflection. I disagree with the time adjustment. I do not know if I disagree strongly. But I do not like inconsistent things. Too much agreement for a few things. It is somehow arbitrary to change time.

At home, I have making also small improvements time by time. Consistent process while I am still there. I need to write a letter at some point. Other things to organize. A bit though, if one is at the library, or on the road, or at the office. But thankfully one is still thinking not passively, or actively, watching something. Oh, but in everything there is beauty and goodness. I met a very capable person, who finish his dissertation on assessing two films.

One main point of this writing warm up was to say that I arrived 30 minutes to the target time to the library. But it helps a lot to have a buddy for accountability.

I track time. But it should match with the planning, and with the precise time of activities, without sacrificing meals, reading time, “sleeping time”, irrigation of plants, shower, writing time, cooking time. I guess every action with do is to prepare for next, which also including rest, until a point we give up or do not care anymore, which I hope it will never happens.

All of that is within the context of hope, stay connected. Even in the downs one still care or trust or find ways or discern ways to trust or distrust in actions, as long as the trust is in the Lord of Hosts or higher good.

Definetely, it was an OK writing warm up. Sometimes there is this sensation, which happens limited times, to not publish something. Might be because of the wonders, not even of the brain, but the text itself.

But would see in terms of daily discipline what can be achieved, as well as the conceptualization and practice of the Sabbath. At the end it is a commandment to keep one day Holy to the Lord of Host, God. Teaches me to do that. Or to do it again. In life there are not justification. There are clear actions, feelings, thoughts, decisions, errors, and commandments.
