This title sounds, to me, like that of a fairy tale.
And perhaps it is. My life can be like that, Natalie, is, afterall, the anagram of "In a Tale". What is in a name…
This narrative is also an example of how we can move in the direction of clarity even when not certain…and how clarity will (begin to) emerge through [...]

Einstein: we cannot solve any problem from the same "level" that created it.
I had heard this quote with the word "mind" not level. In hearing it as ‘level’ I was able to apply it to my interest in fractals and also, to my belief in the importance of seeing things through many perspectives - ie at [...]

This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,Sail the unshadowed main,–The venturous bark that flingsOn the sweet summer wind its purpled wingsIn gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,And coral reefs lie bare,Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;Wrecked is the ship of pearl!And every [...]

Sometimes it helps to have an image instead of words. I needed an art hit and thought suddenly of Miro. A quick google image search on ‘miro’ yielded  this.

Which also seems to explain tagging visually. And if it doesn’t for you, it should at least be pleasing to the eye! 

I have been raving about tagging for a while (in life not in blog) but I thought it time to share this with you all to upskill/share quick smart.
Before I do - what is a tag? [skip if you know]. 
A tag is "a simple category name. People can categorize their posts, photos, and links with any tag [...]

Don’t Panic.
This is a tangental rant but it does tie back up together, (hopefully) in an illuminating and kite flying way. You just may find yourselves at times having lost the original circle. Even if you are, enjoy it. I have put many references for you to chase if you have the stamina to [...]

"Some think it is a shame the roses have thorns
And some are delighted that thorns have roses"
- Anon
I chanced upon this quote today, while editing a letter for a friend. It reminded me of something I had written. I like the idea of putting them together and enjoying the polarity, the tensions.
"A lifetime of [...]

(Definately to be read aloud!)
"What makes a fire burn is space between the logs, a breathing space. Too much of a good thing, too many logs packed in too tight can douse the flames almost as surely as a pail of water would. So building fires requires attention to the spaces in between, as much [...]

"We shape our tools
And our tools shape us"
Marshal McLuhan
- with thanks to Paul Schumann for opening my mind to McLuhan. 
I am on the beginning of my journey (definately in the kiddy pool) but like Paul, I sense there is a lot of stuff here to be integrated with what is going on in our [...]

I am playing with the digital storytelling medium and also want to remind myself of the evolution of such a process. A story takes work and the pieces need to come together.
Below is a mini-digital poem that still needs its title inserted, audio tweaked and some better fades but it feels good enough to [...]
