I've just been reminded that I have a space in here, and it's a nice thought since there is now a new landlord in the other space. A return to the quiet thinking and sharing is perhaps overdue.

I was clearing out old bookmarks when I stumbled on my Mastodon link. I had forgotten how this space felt. I might return to crawling back in here in moments when I need to quietly listen to quiet thinking.
hello darkness my old friend. Felt like I needed a quieter dark corner for a bit
@lauraritchie @Tdorey long ago and far away when I was a structural geologist rather than - whatever it is I am now - I travelled a long distance to do field work in a deserted corner of Namibia. Mm, but I had forgot my compass+clinometer+handlens at home - the most base level tool needed besides a pencil.
@robparsons @econproph @ShorterPearson @Tdorey @lauraritchie @actualham @bonstewart @cogdog @katebowles @fgraver me too Rob. Firstly because it really is more accurate and secondly because achieving learning is then something the learner does. It attributes agency more accurately too. It means I have to accept that I have only a limited effect, however ...
@katebowles @lauraritchie Have been silently reading. Recently saw the writing on the wall - in a small area in a previously v run-down part of Johannesburg where bold people are achieving people-embracing urban regeneration. Musicians, art, food, conversation and free chalk to write on this wall. Most want riches and travel. Two entries struck me:

Laughed a little when I read this today: http://marcuselliott.co.uk/education/singing-along-but-i-dont-know-the-words/
I have been trying to write a mere 6000 words for weeks (in between work, that is) and had just looked at them and thought that, collectively, they sound like karoake to me ...
In this dark quiet place to lick my wounds before I own that awful sound and start again.

@katebowles @catherinecronin @cogdog @daniellynds @actualham @Dan_Blick @lauraritchie @fgraver @mdvfunes @taniasheko This is an attempt at the #lenses riddle, this time using the root post https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/337836 which @lauraritchie referred to.
Tricky business, the loss of conversational thread when we leave is too close to IRL!

Will try reply to @katebowles' original toot next, as @lauraritchie noted.
