"Writing as illumination.”

– Diamela Eltit, E. Luminata

At present, I'm an aspiring scribbler of a mystic memoir; each word feels like a fragile vessel, carrying fragments of a past I’m still learning to name.

Rilke: "Live the questions now."

Meanwhile, in what's become my most oft-employed form of structured procrastination — particularly when writer's block sets in — I occasionally blog as to how to navigate everyday life, a.k.a. mediate one's life, through the lens of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) & the guiding principles & practices of its accompanying mediation: maps and skills.

Quotes (Anthropocene-era):

Marshall Rosenberg, Originator of Nonviolent_Communication:

"Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being & the well-being of others are in fact one & the same."

Martin Luther King Jr:

“In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny… This is the inter-related structure of reality.”

Letter from Birmingham Jail

"We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today."
