A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as “and they can deliver it tomorrow” or “so I’ve invited them for dinner” or “they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply.”
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld Series No. 24, The Fifth Elephant (1999)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/pratchett-terry/7829…

“Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.’

🧐 Expounding on the theme of #PayingAttention, I've also noticed a proliferation of "journalistic slop" due, perhaps in large part, to #corporatized/billionaire-captured #newspapers which have made it increasingly difficult for us in #public to curate sources of #reliable #journalism. But this phenomenon with #news, reporting & commentaries is, sadly, entirely human-generated - just like genocide, racism, nuclear weapons, kids with guns, addictive drugs, corruption etc.

⚠️"For the first time in #human history, the ability to produce #writing, art & expression has been decoupled from the necessity of actually #payingattention to what you’re making or saying.. unless people become much better at #curation, #greatwork will be increasingly difficult to locate amid the flood of #loweffort #content, which is also known as “ #AIslop”.. when it comes to #art, #expression & argument, if you want it done right, it’s probably still best to do it yourself"

I am so grateful to have a place to make and nurture a garden.

“And speaking of stones, what about
The little ones you can
Hold in your hands, their heartbeats
So secret, so hidden it may take years
Before, finally, you hear them?”-Mary Oliver

Good morning, friends. 💮🐦💮
7 August 2024
Well, my fence is clean, today somebody is coming to repair the door on my small garage where I keep my lawn mower, motorcycle, tools, yada yada yada, and there is some storage. The repair of the garage is a self-created expanse, I ran into the bottom of the door with the Topp of my rollbar while backing my lawn mower into the garage. It misaligned the bottom rollers and gaggled up the cables on both sides, so I had to loosed both roller wheels, which took the tension out of the tension-spring. Messing with the tension-spring is not something that I want to do - it can be dangerous. So, I'm paying for my lack of attention.
"The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way." - Keanu Reeves

The shady nook of the deck garden has become a bit “jungle-y”…stepping barefoot through lush chartreuse potato vine is a lovely thing…

And taken this morning…the same zinnia as in previous post, fading to powder-pink…brushed by silky, silvery-rose grass plumes.
Paying attention to a single flower can bring such wonder.#BloomScrolling #PayingAttention #flowers #gardens #ColorEchoes #wondrous

Feeling the warm Italian air…and the dry crunchy soil as it exhales the aroma of olive tree leaves as I walk.
And the tree trunk, that trunk…twisting, gnarled wood…the swirl and story of ages and ages.
I lay my hands on it and breathe in…and then breathe out.#ThickTrunkTuesday #trees #olives #Italy #wondrous #LandscapePhotography #Umbria #sunlight #PayingAttention #breathe

"There was an ancient civilization that could speak Tree.
They could understand the language of roots and the noise of fungi, a highly developed tongue, difficult to translate. They refused to write down the sounds because they could hear the molecules of the papyrus crying.”-From Heather Altfelt’s, “Every Day Another Language Dies"

Among other things, I collect color names.
Coquelicot is a shade of red.
The term was originally a French vernacular name for the wild corn poppy, Papaver rhoeas, and is distinguished by its bright red color and orange tint.
It eventually passed into English usage as the name of a color based upon that of the flower.
The first recorded use of this usage was in the year 1795.#flowers #color #language #FlowerPhotography #poppies #gardens #NewWords #delight #nuance #PayingAttention
