I haven’t shared my song “Analog” in a while. For those of you who have been spending too much time online, maybe have a listen!

“No more time for digital lives
Gimme analog vibes…”

I have an idea for the short story I am going to write. Over 40,000 words into my novel and I need a quick break to stretch my writing legs a bit. Going to share this short story on my blog when I’m done!

My next project is going to be to write a short story and share it on my blog for free.

Theravada Buddhists dress the deceased in white and lay the body out for a vigil, during which monks are invited to chant and offer blessings. The dead person’s hand lies extended, and visitors pour a cup of water over the hand into a bowl of water in which blossoms float— asking forgiveness for any transgressions against the person during her life.

In the monastery, when an elder monk or nun dies, the vigil can last a week. And all are instructed to Meditate on Death.

Stamp is carved! Love how this came out. I will explain the meaning/significance in a blog post at some point in the future. Currently putting polyurethane on the block and then I will assemble!

@MrGoat here it is!

Did a 45 minute yoga video tonight. Felt good. Anyone else use Apple Fitness+?

Almost done carving the stamp! Just a couple small details I didn’t want to do right before bed. I will hopefully be able to pull a test print tomorrow.

Making progress on the stamp. Did some preliminary layout sketches and a final sketch onto the rubber. Need to carve. Then assemble the block to the handle.

Seven years ago I came to the conclusion that Social Media is NOT helping discourse. That's why I called this site 'COUNTER Social'.

I decided to at least TRY to fight fire with fire.

Been having a hard time getting out of my own way lately. Today I was inspired to start working on a stamp. I don’t know why but I won’t ask any questions. Just have to follow the movements in my mind.

@Alfred, write me a love sonnet to Counter Social in iambic pentameter.
