"“We’ve opened up a window onto the classroom in a way that didn’t exist before,” Karaganis says." The Open Syllabus Project is that window. Pause. Read. Be amazed.

Things I noticed on a Front Yard #Feldgang:
* the tiniest of flowers in driveway cracks. There's no way I would have paid attention to them otherwise
* a lone dandelion, with seeds ready to spread. This one is an outlier of the season
* the dead branches of the pine tree, framed underneath, with sky as backdrop, gives a new perspective
* a tree trunk as map, framed close, with crags and valleys
* a chewed leaf, bugs' dinner left uneaten

Sync'd up.
Ship shape.
Squared away.

@lauraritchie #smallstories response Your story sent me to the OED to look up "omen", its first written instance:

1582 Stanyhurst Æneis ii. (Arb.) 66 You Gods of countrye this is eke your prosperus omen.

Three other responses: first, "my mouth open, it hops in" could mean that you 'ate' the blackbird, quel image; second, I saw a dead crow in the middle of the road yesterday. I have never seen such, ominous;  third, reminded of this portentous freight train of a song, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtkvUpkdWiM

@tutormentor1 Also, much of this "going someplace" is a product of this constant preoccupation with progress and 'bottom lines'. Idling is its own reward. We have already explored a phrase and come to terms with poetry on Mastodon. That was an adjacent door that opened unbidden, but only after we did indeed put one foot in front of the other.

@tutormentor1 The beauty of a feldgang like this is that it can idle for a long while or it can just end or it can be transformed. I tend to come back to stuff (if I remember to do so) over and over.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps: https://youtu.be/1Nlmet9_eWA

Maybe...

A "maybe" with an ellipsis,
Like wondering what
is under every rock
or
picturing a hidden agenda
under every question.
Imagine that...
