Shhhh ...

Wix has a new A.I. brainstorm feature that appears with the blank page for blog posts now. Trying to help me, I guess, the bot suggested I blog on one of the following:

"artistic healing power"

"unveiling brushstrokes"

"artistic journey reflections"

I was already feeling tired of my own words, but these suggestions from the bot toggled my mute button. So instead of blogging, I'm going to be phlogging this week (is this even a thing? No way I just invented something, right?).

Come along on my attention walk this evening via this phlog. These aren't the greatest photos but then making great photos wasn't my purpose.

Some stage directions:

Lightning flashes near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The coyotes are in full lunacy over something, and I wish I could see them. Listening works, too.

My attention focus: how many different kinds of flowers can I see on this walk?

A distraction: found another lone shoe on the lam . . .

Refocusing: the real magic right now is the sunflower show. Their abundance this year is staggeringly beautiful. If you live around these parts I urge you to get out and enjoy them.

The sunset joined the performance, desperate not to be outshined.

Shhhh. Just felt like being kinda quiet this week.
