EPHWHYELL | Vol 0.1

Read about "The Why" (recommended ;), and bookmark this post so that you can easily refer to it as you build with me over the next decade as we bring into reality that which, currently, only exists in our minds.

PHILOSOPHICAL FOCUS | NOODIVERSITY &FREEDOM

i encountered this concept, noodiversity, for the first time a few weeks ago while reading an article in the September ARTFORM. thus, this is a new philosophical concept for me, and i would like to understand it more fully. 



NOODIVERSITY, according to and coined by Yuk Hui, is what he calls, "our way of understanding our relation to the environment, which varies from one locality to another and is embedded in language, customs, and so on." [p122] The concept context is accompanied by two other concepts: technodiversity and biodiversity.

&FREEDOM, feels pretty self-explanatory as a focus for thought-work during these oh-so-current times *sigh*





FIND | Fitness 

i am returning to yoga, for the general well-being of my body. since we do not want to shell out cash, at this time, for a gym or studio membership where i can dance, i have decided to return to yoga in order to find some more fitness. i have been running moderately, and i will also continue to do that.

October Focus :: Urdhva Mukha Svanasana &Keep on Running
stretch every day, anything between small and large stretches counts
small = Surya Namaskar a minimum of five
large = warmed up all the way to Urdhva Dhanurasana
  • saw this NPC doing yoga --> Chaturanga Dandasana + Utthita Vasisthasana flow <-- while playing Borderlands 4


November Focus :: Urdhva Dhanurasana &Keep on Running
stretch every other day, anything between small and large stretches counts
small = Surya Namaskar a minimum of six
large = warmed up all the way to Vasisthasana





December Focus :: 







FIND | Imagery






YUMMY | Cook once a week

  • you have a bit more energy these days, so why not help out the bodybuddy/lifemate and conceive of and cook one meal each week in October (we'll assess the situation each month)






YUMMY | [sex]

  • do with it what you will
  • not gonna share the specifics *wink wink*






YUMMY | Money
  • presented by tkscm, limited





LOVE | Reading






LOVE | Writing 

  • write at least one nonfiction piece with the Philosophical Focus in mind
  • write at least one fiction piece with the Philosophical Focus in mind
  • write one card/letter to someone, and send it to them [some inspo]
  • complete (at least) two writing dates
    • writing practitioners Speed Sketching + Subject Sketching on Philosophical Focus
      • find prompts here if/when you are ready to write your Sketches (or have a friend write you prompts!); it's best that you do not look at the prompts until just before you do your Speed or Subject Sketching! for it is the challenge of a thing that we LOVE.
      • read 선의 sketches





LOVE | Drawing

  • if you haven't figured out that Book Three is a graphic novel, well, now you know, so it'd be nice to start getting some imagery going for the thing, etc.
  • i actually do not enjoy drawing all that much; it is my least-favorite apparatus(? whatever), but i do enjoy the end-result after i spend time drawing, etc.





&FINALLY | Do I need anything to accomplish these exercises?

  • sketchbook ✔
  • touchscreen stylus (i had one, but we cannot find it!)
  • mead, spiral, college-ruled notebook ✔ 



&THEN | you use the surge of excitement and get started, right away! if you feel the pangs, don't push it off or "save it" ... use the momentum! go, go, go!
