blogging about blogging is probably the boringest kind of blogging i feel like i should offer an explanation--which is that its all but impossible to write or read or concentrate at all on anything at elsewhere. clearly the entire world is full of distractions, but elsewhere is like a real world reduction, cooked down so to its most potently distracting elements. not to mention the constant protrusion of little obstacles like the internet being down or my computer charger being missing, things like this happen in the real world too, but again, elsewhere is extreme.
that said, it's fabulously stimulating to the point of being overwhelming. navigating the constant tension between goals and plans and new arrivals info and people and use of space--that was the name of the game last week when i was preparing for my artist conversation. Remembering the hose. I've made it my goal to cherish the incidental. accidents that work. Because working too hard never gives you the satisfaction it should... if its too hard its not worth it, right? i mean nothing is absolute, but really you should always do what comes naturally. this is yet another possible interpretation of Remember the Hose on several levels--remember to be like a hose, a conduit for the passage of energy, a release--if too much builds up, you're going to explode--if you use yourself the wrong way, something is bound to blow.
