Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I am exploring the naivete in wisdom and the wisdom in naivete. Yesterday, while reading The Senses: Design Beyond Vision edited by Ellen Lipton and Andrea Lipps, I read, “Sensory design activates touch, sound, smell, taste, and the wisdom of the body.” That really opened up this week’s study forContinue reading “#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom”

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “fog,” I jumped out of bed and was rewarded with a little morning fog on the lake. I love the pareidolia of a giant ghost bat in the trees over that mysterious light in the water. I love how a photograph through the fog made this house look like aContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 7: Balanced Between a Zombie and a Horror Story
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “zombie,” I wasn’t sure what to do. I’m not a fan of dead people walking around trying to eat my brain, so I avoid them. Yesterday, however, I had to go to the store, so I took a look at the slim Halloween offerings (my local Walgreen’s shelves were quiteContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 7: Balanced Between a Zombie and a Horror Story”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 6: Treating Myself to Conquering My Fears & Bokeh Jack-o-Squashes
For today’s prompt at Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “treat,” I reworked the mouth of my Jack-o-lantern bokeh filter. Since my treat today is going to be homemade butternut squash soup, I thought I’d try my idea of putting jack-o-lantern faces on my squash. And it worked! So fun. Since treats are usually associated with taste,Continue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 6: Treating Myself to Conquering My Fears & Bokeh Jack-o-Squashes”
#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path
How’s that for a trick? I found a simple healthy dark chocolate recipe, and a Halloween chocolate mold (glad I had one skull left, I already ate all the pumpkins). I think those little people are supposed to be cherubs (other chocolate mold), but I choose to see them as people running in terror. MyContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path”

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 3
OctPoWriMo Fun News! The prompts are up at OctPoWriMo 2021! Today’s prompt is “Contemplation.” This prompt made me think of the work I did on “reflections” last month, and inspired me to take some mirror in mirror photos I had been too insecure to do before. The OctPoWriMo prompt for Day 3 (from 2018) isContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 3”
My Consciousness Streams on Day 2: #OctPoWriMo #Writober #SoSC
Though today is Day 2 of OctPoWriMo and Writober, it’s also Stream of Consciousness Saturday, so I thought I would start the day with some thoughts on “inspire/aspire/expire.” Unedited Stream of Consciousness At first I thought of the note I made yesterday about surrender: hope/disappointment/death and it fits. After looking up the words and findingContinue reading “My Consciousness Streams on Day 2: #OctPoWriMo #Writober #SoSC”
