Learned: that the Emergent Commons (EC) crew is pretty dang together on supporting the structure; that so many new people sign up for EC that they now need additional welcomers, and I am one they seek; that the writing of prompts for MidJourney and other AI image-making tools is called “prompt-craft.” 3.
3. Grateful for: Old friends from out of town visiting; the times I sign myself out of the calendar when I actually need some downtime; After all the times they did nothing, probiotics worked; the new Garfield Pool schedule. 3+1.
Seems: like I’m going along fine, and then BAM, something happens again; like there isn’t any knowable way that “it is”; like life comes at me hard and fast, and I always need a longer break than I get; that my healthy choices still aren’t healthy for my situation; like completing with people can happen even when you never thought there was something to complete; like I used to be able to eat more than I can now. 3+1.
New Habit(s): black coffee for about a month now and actually enjoying it, at my desk, first thing most mornings. Going toward plant-based information for my body’s cells, allowing for some animal proteins as we change the pantry contents. When the tum feels queasy, can have a mellow, oat-milky fluffy coffee.
Increase capacities slowly, and they might stick. 3+1.
Accomplished: Digestion. Cleaner Flat. SSL certificate for the https://begreatwithpeople.com web presence. 3.
Thinking about: “The End of Indolence” game, which was made up by a friend, Sherri, who, as soon as she said it, started playing and winning. That I said I was thinking about creating a “Forum on Emergent Commons” for people who will listen for it, and how I might schedule it, and now how it might also be a welcome to the platform event (at least for a while).
Reading: I have not read anything bound and published since October 31st. However, the below Medium article was/is a quick read that has me pondering how community-building seems so hard. What makes me see it as hard?
New Section:
Ecology of Practices:
regular creation of “places to stand”
attitudes that support standing there
having a strong sense of who I am
maintaining an empowered context.
I use Google calendar to guide my passing through “time”
I use Alexa to announce what is happening next (in three minutes)
If the next thing that is happening with another person, I go toward the minute it is to start willing to be clear and complete from the beginning of the conversation.
I listen for things to appear in the communication.
I listen for their greatness.
