ATTEND/CONTOUR/RECALL/TRIANGULATE • REFLECT • DISCUSS
Come one, come all! This is attention practice.
We're gonna give a PLANT the ATTENTION it is DUE. Have you ever really LOOKED at a plant? WOW. That's the only appropriate response. The ONLY appropriate response! To a plant. But also to literally ANYTHING! Anything at all! in this GOB-SMACKED • LIVING • WORLD we've got. WOW.
So fuck the noise! There's a lot of awful shit going on right now. For one evening, let's show up and be quiet together.
• Jo Davis, noted artist, is going to lead us
• 6:30-7:00, ATTEND/CONTOUR/RECALL/TRIANGULATE: the protocol itself; the main event; we will bless a plant with four distinct ways of giving it attention
• it will bless us in return
• 7:00-7:30: REFLECT: we all disperse and reflect on the experience individually
• 7:30: reconvene and DISCUSS our experiences at a restaurant/bar
This roughly follows a practice done by the Order of the Third Bird, explained in the article linked above.
It's gonna be weird and fun and you are going to be there and I can't wait to see you.

These times got us tweakin,
these times got us twitchin;
ain't we all straight-up
bankrupt on attention?
None left to give;
none left to pay.
Let's learn to grow some;
let's learn to play.
💛 💛🌱 🌱
