Transmissive Light

Every evening I've been asking myself the prompt: "rose, bud, and thorn". Rose represents something beautiful that happened during the day. Thorn is a moment that was not great. (It reminds me of Prem Krishnamurthy's idea of "bumpiness" that he introduced during the COVID-19 outbreak). Bud is a moment that is promising and might lead to something new. It's been a nice way for me to feel present and projective at the same time, especially when I've been feeling a bit stir crazy in my tiny apartment...

Nature has memory. Trees remember their growth, time, the amount of light.

Three things that I've learned since quarantine:

• how to sit with discomfort
• how to moderate my time on the internet
• which digital interactions are enough and which ones are not
