@dogtrax Yeah, I think these "underneath questions" are way more common than most of us realize. As teacher we should be looking for underneath questions all the time, just assume there is one. I don't think of these as hidden agendas. I don't even think most folks are consciously aware that they are really asking an underneath question. Maybe when we ask questions in the classroom, we should try to become aware of what lurks under it.

@tutormentor1 Added more today. Our little feldgang through Tolstoy via Berlin is how I am starting my day. Very rich thinking on his part, well worth sharing with you. A welcome meal.

@Algot My sheep will eat all of these with relish. They especially like poison ivy. Yummy.

A discovery as I mashup two books in my reading of Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature and In Search of the Canary Tree: hope! Here is what I found: I might look for hope in a graveyard, but I will not be coroner to an extinction event. I will do something about it every day. #smallactions

@GeoffreyGevalt Did you want to join in the annotation of The Art of Is ? Send me email and I will invite you.

Reading 2 books: Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature (Linda Lear) and In Search of the Canary Tree (Lauren Oakes). One quote unites them and marks much of my own work now as I age into my final decades, "Looking for hope in a graveyard." Potter is dead, but her spirit speaks on. The canary tree is dying, a victim of global warming, yet Oakes is...hopeful. All of us are seeking beyond the doom loops predicted for the future rocketing toward us. Let us rummage the graves for help. #smallactions

@dogtrax @lauraritchie @wentale @katebowles @Algot @timrowe Thinking about doing a mashup-feldgang between two books #smallpoems #improvisart

Two books,
woolgathering between
their covers,
peripatetic
&
practical,
looking for answers
to questions
that i
haven't even thought of...
yet.

@wentale @dogtrax @lauraritchie @Algot #smallpoems response

Revelling...insane...
Playing along that frontier...
Fractal in repose.

@wentale @dogtrax @lauraritchie @Algot #smallpoems response, haiku-ically speaking.

Biologically
We are so peripheral,
Almost no focus.

@wentale @dogtrax @lauraritchie @Algot Here are some lyrics, perhaps a refrain. #smallpoems

Take the focus.
Cut.
Move it to the verge.
Stitch.
What have you got?
Something new:
Thee & Me & We.

@wentale @dogtrax @lauraritchie @Algot Good on ya.

@dogtrax There was a time you would be consulting a shaman about this. I will be a fake shaman for you: the hawk was celebrating you both. A line of flight, perhaps a feathered line across the page. Saying in the slipstream: this is who I am but who are you?

@dogtrax @stragu A note here, I had to redirct my VPN to the UK to hear these. Now...how to download these?

@dogtrax Never makes me happier than dawn with no neighbors within a half a mile. That's why the hunters upset me and my wife so much. Privacy is a tangible thing, something you know when it is pierced by the retort of a stupid gun. #smallstories

@lauraritchie @dogtrax Now that's what I call passive aggressive! Letting a future tree be to blame. Sighz all around. Good on ya for moving it to a place where it won't be hated.

@lauraritchie Pan, piping at the gates of dawn.
