Begin

To write a blog post, or write, or gain increased flexibility, or start a relationship, or learn more about something, you have to begin. So I will do that here--begin--after another month away from posting, and offer you three possibly disparate things. Although, likely they also share threads of connection. If you see one, consider posting what you find. I'm interested to hear your ideas.

Here we go:

1. In March perhaps, I watched an engaging, courageous, creative documentary on copyright and remix culture. It is called, RiP: A Remix Manifesto, written and directed by Canadian, Brett Gaylor. You can watch for free on the web--just follow this link.

2. Tweenbots. I discovered this via someone posting it on a list-serve I am on. Curious? Click here.

3. A quote of words that a friend sent me in a little note today. I had heard it before, perhaps several years ago, and it was excellent to receive it again. (I offer my thanks.) These are words one might benefit from reading each day upon waking and each evening, or when self-doubt or sadness stops by, swimming or storming in.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. --Martha Graham.
