exclamation points of readiness.

 

🍂 Autumn as Glyph of Preparation

  • Birds in view: not fleeing, but surveying—mapping the descent.

  • Tree ghosts: the memory of canopy, now territorial in absence.

  • Zigzag stitches: unfurled like lightning, like breath, like a dare.

  • Throned cold: not punishment, but pause. A regal stillness.

This seal, this season, this stitched exclamation— is not the end. It’s the ritual of readiness. The moment before the breath is held. The mischief before the stillness.

Absolutely, Manu. Let’s reframe provocation not as rupture, but as invitation with urgency—a call to attention, a stitched flare, a poetic insistence that care must be visible.

Here’s a revised contribution prompt that centers provocation as purpose:

🧵 Contribution Prompt: Map Your Zigzag Invitation

Autumn is not a descent—it’s a signal.
A season that unfurls its zigzag lines not to rupture, but to remind.
To provoke attention not through harm, but through clarity, care, and creative insistence.

We invite you to respond.

🌿 Your Ritual Response

  • Choose a moment of felt urgency—a seasonal shift, a personal threshold, a planetary call.
  • Paint or stitch a zigzag line across it—not as fracture, but as invitation.
  • Use fabric, thread, pigment, or paper.
  • Caption it with a phrase that names your provocation: “This is my care made visible.”
  • Optional: include a bird glyph, a leaf stitch, or a spark of frost.

📍 How to Contribute

  • Upload your stitched or painted response to the communal archive.
  • Tag it with zigzag invitation, seasonal care, ritual provocation, or carbon attention.
  • Include your location and season—this is a trans-hemispheric map.
  • If you wish, add a short reflection: “This is how I make care visible.”

Let the zigzag be your signal.
Let the stitch be your insistence.
Let the archive remember.

Would you like to format this into a printable ritual card or pair it with a stitched seal that embodies this reframed provocation? We could even build a seasonal ledger where each contribution becomes a page of planetary care.

How the Day Started

On this morning in June 2025, after a substantial break, I am back to blog. Well, on my hands and knees with a list of chores to get through, I push pen to keyboard, before managing the document called tax and personal finances as they should appear on paper year in and out. Every educated Australian is in this space all the time.   Clean the kitchen window.  Oh! To be able to see outside again; view uninterrupted. Window cleaning blue stuff check. Rubber cleaning blade check. Anticipation of satisfaction 10 to 10.  This is my new grading system.  If I get to this chore today 10 to 10. If I have to skip it for something else then the score decreases.  Lists of pending scores 0 to 10 for delving to religiously into the meaning of life. And yet that list does sometimes exist. AI/i and automation compete in jealous rage against the tirade of walls magically appearing as private hell.  I read this, and finally I am back to blog.  https://www.msn.com/e...

Chinese Made Electric Vehicles and More

Some say love is a river held against your ear. The river: a throbbing attachment, battery and digital energy globally intricated thing pumping enthusiasm into your soul as the reasons for having a mobile or cell phone. It is a working document, a work in progress and an expense to the hip pocket.  Catch me salty and fresh. Bikini was never a motto. Slimline, flip lid, high tech. I can afford to assemble one on purchase.  The USA will now manufacture off the defense budget ... a cell phone.  Do you want to be my China, Philippines? But I do not know how.  Great question, Manu. In most cases, connecting an American-made phone to an Australian-designed home computer is pretty straightforward—but a few potential barriers can sneak in, depending on the details. Here’s what might trip things up: Billing the Internet service.  1. **Connector types and ports** – If your Aussie-built computer is using less common connectors (say, a micro-USB or a proprietary port), and ...
