because I have been wanting to share the subtlety and nuance of Elena Tonra & band “Daughter,” and after a day on repeat words became…
mobius, ever,
turning ribbon gyre

an error,
a mark-miss,
.
and bypass.

Reading Maturana & Varela’s accounts of how we ought to go about engaging scientific activity (and life)… with integrated mindfulness/awareness and sense of our embeddedness in whatever we are observing, inquiring…
coupled with required textbook for LIS – metacognition and reflection in learning contexts:
and then this comes on…..the sound of the meaning, I guess….
Attempting an entire academic paper in one day. ย To the tunes of:
Greetings all, I apologize for not filling daily posts with content (or…anything) of late. ย I feel the loss myself as this serves as my creative outlet currently, and I feel it when I don’t create, purposefully. ย Anyway, I’m trying to orchestrate some time in the next week to compose something. ย For now…the music that I’m hoping will help me awake…pull me up out of a sea of academic work…
