An Invitation - or Two

Now I am ready to post an invitation, for anyone who may stumble upon or be directed towards and read this blog.

It is a (very honest and open) accounting/recounting of my experience here in a place at a time, of a journey made. It is diaried and documented in a number of ways - text, photo, colour grid, maybe more.

I am interested in the pictures that will emerge in this tapestry when I look at it from afar, through the metaphors of different coloured lenses. And of how experience documented (and revisited) might open up spaces of thought and interactions (communication) across time and space.

I am interested in whether it communicates to you at all?

And if so, how you might choose to experience this (blog) in your own life (context of the moment), if at all - is it a whispering, a picture, an imagining, a provocation (I hope not!), a news-stream?

Do you see synchronicities, have rapport;
see things I'm missing (yet), or just find it all a bore?

So I'd love to gather responses - I may not read them yet (let's see!) - but it would be great to start to collate a strand online (say if you prefer to be anonymous or for my eyes only! No hurtful or hate mail please!)
Email to me direct or add a comment below any of the posts.

The other invitation is to contribute to the gathering of colour grids - calling all iphone users, please download the Hunter Gatherer app from itunes and try it out on your iphone, ipod touch or ipad and start colouring! Feedback on the app is very welcome (updates planned shortly)
and more specifically, include cache key 30003 if you make a grid on the theme of The Commons... what would a magical creature of the Commons be like for you?

Let's get some inter-continental (and interdisciplinary) debate going on The Commons; or believing-feeling-acting together at it's BEST!

The colour grids are a quick, easy, geotaggable, tweetable, emailable way to send your imaginings - or if you want to write more then email me or add a comment to this post.
