I may have said this before, but robots have mastered the art of waiting. They are second only to cats in their ability to wait in the moment. . #robotoftheday #mylifewithrobots #robotart #robot #robots #robotartist #scifi #fantasy #art #illustration #sketch #sketchbook #ink #markerart #city #urban #doorway #urbanlife #waiting #thelongnow #liveinthenow #patient #hangingout #copicwithus https://www.instagram.com/p/CJp8auvM20W/?igshid=892ufqaxo0lj

The world may seem like a dystopian shit hole when looking through an electronic screen, but it is important to remember it's a great time to be alive. #TheLongNow #TheFutureAwaits #I❤️Science #LLAP 🖖 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KcQMjiwos/?igshid=jd8f75agzrf4

LEAVING NINIAN | SPACE MAKING

Keys all handed in.

At the very beginning, and in broad terms, Rachel had a heart to set up a community that had ‘space’ for people.  The house at 103 Ninian was a real reflection of this, with a space we called “home” created through it’s wide doors, clear wooden floors, big rooms and tall white walls.

In Japanese*, the word ‘Ma’ (pronounced maah), can be translated as ‘the space between two structural parts’ or a ‘gap’, ‘pause’, ‘interval’.  It is emptyness, which by existence, gives shape to a form.

Now moving and regathering around a much smaller house, it is still all about space.  We have encountered part of this in the emptying of the old, and in this time of interval.

We remember especially over Easter, what New Testament writer Paul describes as the process of κένωσις** (pronounced kenosis).  That is, a ‘self emptying’ or ‘letting go’.  Space making.

Ma as room.  Ma as home. Ma as emptyness.  Ma as receptiveness. Ma as negative, creating form. Ma as poverty, and so as blessing. The kingdom of heaven from Ma: Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ τῷ πνεύματι, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.***

*Ever exploring Japanese culture with @thelongnow​.  Alex Kerr writes about Ma as ‘everything’ in his book ‘Lost Japan.’ **Phillipians 2:6-8       ***Matthew 5:3

NINIAN RECIPE | WARM POTATO SALAD We attempted to grow some veg in the front garden of our town house 'by the side of the road'. First was a small crop of potatoes, which we popped together with our herbs to make a warm potato salad, (based on a recipe from friends @thelongnow) INGREDIENTS Home-grown bucket potatoes | Freezer-defrosting-rescued green beans | Veg-box-leftover roughly grated carrots | Red onion finely sliced | Erin's parsley | Lewys' mint | Nkini's chive | Olive oil | Balsamic vinegar | Wholegrain mustard | Salt and paper | Handful of sesame seeds, toasted | Final touch, a dash of port METHOD Scrub the mud off the potatoes, roughly chop them into similar sizes, and boil until tender. Add green beans in last few minutes of the boil. Meanwhile, chop, prepare and mix the other ingredients together. Add the mixture to the cooked potatoes and beans, and toss to combine. Serve warm. Also great for a cold lunch the next day.
