Just thinking…

If I say ‘I am reminded of [something]’ this is different from saying ‘I have been reminded of [the thing]’.

In the latter expression, someone else did the reminding. In the former, it’s an internal reminding, inside me but not me.

It feels like a leftover phrase from an earlier time when the I wasn’t necessarily centred in (or controlling all of) the brain, and things could occur (happen) to you in your head without them being thought (done) by you.

I’ve decided to dive into the world of Ursula Le Guin’s children’s books! Wow, that writer is amazing! Some of her stories have brought me to tears (“Fire and Stone”) and others have lit up my heart. Children’s books are such a wonderful way to connect with the “self,” and Le Guin’s technology for that purpose is especially unique.

I specifically want to highlight the book titled, “Tom Mouse,” as it encapsulates a #posthuman mindset very well. It also might be my new favorite story, it’s just unique and amazing in wonderful ways! This is a colorful story where diverse beings come together to bring more joy to each other’s lives. It gives voice to marginalized populations including mice, moons, stars, humans of diverse color, age, gender. An excellent example of #DEI

"I had my first love affair with a star of the silver screen when I was 14. His name was Audie Murphy."
