 3 things

1. Discovered this Alan Watts Being in the Way podcast. While listening I picked up on the saying      Ji-Ji-Mu-Ge. What it means I can't actually articulate quite yet, still learning that. But I do like saying it

2. The Japanese art movement Gutai begun by artist Jiro Yoshihara. It means concrete or embodiment and was focused on breaking boundaries, experimenting with materials, and doing what no one has done before.  Below is an image of Jiro Yoshihara's Please Draw Freely piece from 1956 which this month was recreated at the Tate.



3. After reading this article I decided to try it myself, read one poem every day for a month. I chose this Emily Dickinson poem kind of randomly. Took book off shelf and flipped to any page. Next time I may take some more time to consciously choose. But for now, I read this when I wake up.
