it's day 9 of january. and as january is the month of the river of stones, it's also stone #9 today. a stone is a note on a detail of the day, noticed by paying attention, and written down. today's stone is inspired by the full moon and a morning moment: "mooncandle".
the collection of all stones i gathered / noticed so far is up in the blog i started for another challenge, and that is now also home of stones: p art ici patio n.
which also comes with a new blog layout that creates image collages. the template is called autofocus, almost in humorous contrast of the idea of stones.
it's one of the things i consciously try for these days: newness. trying something else, or trying another way of doing something. looking at things from a different place. point of view, it makes such a difference. change the layout of something, and other elements move into focus. or take yesterday: looking at my bookshelf from another, new category: books by continents. which brought a book into focus that i almost had forgotten about - a book from Azerbaijan. a country that i need to spellcheck, and mapcheck. i think i never read a book from there before.
and another new thing: fuckyeahtumblrs. obviously there are hundreds and thousand of them out there. hadn't known about that until Rose mailed about it while cruising blogs and boxes for her boxy new Judd Box Tumblr Blog. which then also lead to this link: http://fuckyeahstreetlights.tumblr.com/
and to the bluebox of yesterday.
now it's raining. (she said, in a shift to the world beyond the other window, and checked if there is a fuckyeahnewness tumblr. well. nope.)
