01 First Thoughts:

… i have been thinking the past couple of days how frustrated i am that i get no engagement with my posts from the m.b community… i engage daily with them… i post half a dozen times a day, plus or minus… i don’t expect every post to be engaged with, not even most of them, but i know i post the kinds of things that other people do, yet, no engagement… i wonder what that is about?…

… i wont’t stop, i like the blogging environment, it is the perfect home for notes on attention paid… maybe one just has to be around long enough…

… listening to “The World Keeps on Turning,” by Holly Honeychurch, one of the m.b members… i like it… in her introduction to it she talks about life’s hardships and how it helps her to get through them to have the daily rhythms, the chance for a new day dawning, every day… it reminds me of the micro poem i posted yesterday which makes the same point…

Chaos in the house— and still birds greet the dawn

… the music is lovely, very contemplative… immediately following, i cue up the Gregorian chants i so often listen to in the morning… i am part monk…
