Every so often I enjoy tossing a post onto the blog by a different method. For instance I like playing with the scheduler. I try the quick press which Wordpress has on it’s dashboard. My friend Jeb hooked me up with the Postie plugin that allows for posting by email.
This post is being crafted with the blackberry application BlogLive. It’s interesting how if we alter our practice we gain a fresh perspective. Typing with the thumbs while seated in the Adirondack chair out on the deck after dinner has a completely different feel to it than peering at the computer screen. Sometimes, when seated with the computer, it’s as if that screen becomes the whole world. And that’s terribly skewed.
Here, the immersion in the environment predominates and the two inch screen of the blackberry seems much more a note pad in relationship to the overall experience. The birds have begun their night song. Hankins Creek rushes down the valley swollen with the recent rains. A mower hums off to my left. I can hear a jet above the clouds. Some of the weekenders from the city are driving past on their way home. Here comes…and there goes the son of a farmer in his loud (no muffler?) pickup truck. A pesky fly pulls my hand from this task repeatedly.
How do you mix up your practice?
