smart living: given to enactive fulfillment

---

This goes forward beyond the last section of “...belonging...to belong,” (on being merely “social”).

---

reality not chosen, reality I choose to prospect

---

There’s no admirable point to political anger unless it leads to actionable valuation….This discussion is an outer worldly sidetrack from a project for tomorrow which is inner worldly, but highlights inner/outer liminality.

Time gives gravity to prettiness where beauty emerges

Airy living, 15 years ago, “soothing W. H. Auden,”
on extra-ordinary life.

That page hasn't been public. It was done for a beloved friend, Terese, whose eidetic memory penned Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" perfectly for me during a lunch.

easily casual, easily alien

---

This is the first part of a new five-part set oriented by the notion of belonging: being chosen to belong in relation with choosing to belong. It becomes very analytical, as aliens may.

In coming weeks, I expect to post more frequently than in recent months—and again before Dec. 21, I expect.

autumn 2024

---

Well, I am ready to add more, at last—a new beginning, in a sense—but that’ll take a few days.

---

Nov. 23…Nov. 30

Closer, but not ready to add more; not frustrated, very enthused. A flow of regular sharing is immanent, next week I expect.

---

Nov. 17

I avoid chronic anomie (if not mild depression) from daily news—
the suffering of so many regions—by immersing myself in development of my writing projects, hours every day, largely for the love of doing it. I haven’t put a lot online lately, but there is much in gestation.

Extra!: literary scholar felt stalked

Courage, follow a little autumn course into dark lightly.

Life is strange, often beautiful, then you die, of course.

Not that I will be missed,
“honey.”

I’m going to get you!

a philological sense of Our evolving

A famous biologist called Us “the poetic species.” I agree.

---

writing life, a gain

---

For some persons, life becomes text: aural, visual, written.

---

summer 2024

---

Finishing “for the best of America” feels like a closure on giving attention to the presidential campaign of “Ours,” in keeping with
what I noted below for Sept. 4.

Now, back to engagement with practical conceptual interests (which will result in more postings before Sept. 28).

And good-bye summer.

---

Sept. 9

Life goes on, as time allows, be it showing marks, letters, history, or
the importance of words for binding us in kindred belonging.

---

for the best of America

---

My sense of “being a Democrat 2024” is basically about a personal life being well enough to be politically relevant, through interpersonal and cultural engagement.

Ours

---

Here’s a short discussion, relative to the now-forgotten (?) Democratic National Convention, about the importance of words for binding us in kindred belonging.

That will be followed soon by a discussion of DNC specifics for a progressive realism.

---

marks, letters, history

---

email to an art exhibit reviewer.

life goes on as time allows

Morning. Coffee—well, lots of stuff between waking and coffee.

Checking email: A “mistaken” solicitation from Texas to survey my tractor experience (re: my lawnless urban street) escaped automatic routing to my spam folder. The option to unsubscribe could be a trick to route me to an automatic malware download from Russia or China or Iran. Such is living with political aggression in the metropole. (Such is my fantasy that I matter enough to be phished.)

some advice about inquiring and creative life

---

Don’t be afraid to show your own understanding to others who seem
to be beyond you. If their opinion is worthwhile, then they’re not condescending. They won’t cause your anxiety to be validated.

Learning never ends for everyone who appreciates their own path.
The integrity of your venture belongs to you, not recognition by others.

And prudent trusting of the other is always worthwhile as one’s default presumption. If trust is betrayed, move on, but prudently trust again.

I’ll elaborate soon, maybe tomorrow, Saturday?, soon, because that’s
the nature of the thing, a sprout, here about that, too.

---

July 12

And so I sprouted, sooner than I anticipated yesterday.

An appeal of gardening types and kinds wanders across distinctions which are integral to my interests, but whose formal integrability isn’t intimated yet.

---

integrity of oneSself as neologist

---

Flourishing of oneSself is, at best, a balance of [a] open receptiveness and apt responsiveness of oneself with others (genuine living of s/p differentiality) with [b] the same of oneself with Selfality (authentic living of S/s differentiality).  

Authenticity and genuineness of flourishing lifepsychalness belong together in the same hopefully exemplary lifecycleness.

So goes my integrity of neologisms.

---

reverie of heartfulness

---

This isn’t sentimentalist. It prospects a concept of background (deep) Self.

---

being with, immanently

---

Two discussions—“immanent being in time” and “being with ‘you’”—sketch senses of “interal” belonging of differentiations, from proximal phenomenality to complex interpersonal life. No sentimentalism.

---

“genesis“: retrojective articulation of being

---

Fun title, easy reading (mostly). It’s about immanence (Flow) of feeling phenomenality.

---

Everyone wants a good story. This is about awing want.

---

being person-al: beyond what They say

---

My discussion of person-ness here follows from the second part of “It’s phenomenal” (April 22) about living experience. Its repeat of earlier themes is in a circumspective context of others’ standard views on being a person which will be analyzed later.

---

It’s phenomenal

---

A large-scale project begins today with a set of three discussions under the title “It’s phenomenal,” which isn’t a self-promotional title, rather a denotation of its overall topic. The first of the three is titled “manifold living,” The bottom of that page links to the second, bottom of the secon to the third, and all are listed on the main Project page (upper left button of each discussion page).

here now the dead

One’s life can exemplify the virtue of authentic being, even when
not yet influencing heirs. Thinking of lives generally may reaffirm
a virtue of being for the humanity of caring.

So: a little sermon for Our grand story.

No update apart from what I noted today at gedavis.com.

Mar. 2

The posting on Derrida has no obvious relation to recent obsessions about better humanity, but it’s all part of the same Project: humanism, humanities, conceptual literary interest, interest in textuality, though that series is a stretch—abstract. Yet, a reader wants enhancement of their sensibility through arts, and arts are commonly matters of our humanity.

I’ll have better updates soon.

---

postcard from the conceptual resort

---

I’m with Jacques Derrida in fascination with our possible presence together here, i.e., through textuality, which is from me to an invented other, but also somewhat (inevitably) inventing the actual other in conscientious address. And the other—anonymous reader, loved one—somewhat invents the author.

---

appeal of better ways

---

A discussion I put online earlier this month, titled “To shape a better understanding to share, where should we begin?,” immediately dissatisfied me. So, I reconceived the thing, now posted as two discussions: 

•  “orienting life in relation with futuring humanity,” a couple of days ago. See the playfully titled “deep time...” posting below here, Jan. 24.
• today’s “appeal of better ways.” It constellates an array of themes for more specific attentions later. It’s a good synopsis of what I’m generally doing for my “project of humanity.”

---

deep time of appellant horizons might show enthralling gravity

---

“Orienting life in relation with futuring humanity” is inspired by how education undermines consumerism, undermines the appeal of authoritarian stances, and welcomes appreciation of manifold mindfulness.

Also, my discussion introduces a scalar sense of holism which is generally important for “The Project currently.”

---

coming to terms

---

Desire for new concepts—which I’ve not hesitated to satisfy—follows from working beyond the normal uses of standard concepts. That’s common in philosophical work, but easily seems hermetic.

The past couple of weeks offline have been very fruitful, in terms of more new concepts and advancing earlier themes. I love my days!
