Walter Logeman: Journal
This is the street where they still make coffins:
the little workshops, side by side.
I pass them with my daughter on our walk to the river.
Are we seeking the bridge itself,
or the famous, much-reported view?
A few planks and nails lie around
and each of the entrances seems to darken.
Far back, out of sight, someone is whistling.
Yes, I suppose we do walk a little faster.
There is a faint noise of hammering, too.

Got me thinking about New York. Here are some of my sketches from 2007
I’m active in Obsidian. My journal is in Obsidian. everything goes there – it is one glorious mess of tags and wikilinks. I love it. Most of what I write is related to getting stuff done. But occasionally write posts that might well go public, on art, philosophy, psychodrama, and glimpses of my life.
Anyway, there is a plugin to WordPress – that might help me write here a lot more “here” is WordPress, with Obsidian as an editor and PKM.
OK, testing!

I have a draft in WordPress
I feel like celebrating as I pus the Publish button!
I have made many images of flowers, grasses and bush. I make these on my iPad. Before that it was on a Toshiba M300 which I still miss. Some of the collection here is from https://thousandsketches.com. A project that covered a year from 2006 to 2007. Im sure I’ll find a few that have never been on the internet. And I’m still making them. The first one is yesterday’s effort, grass not a flower.
Not a flower exactly but I live in a paddock
I just came across one of my digital images and I liked it, and here it is.
The original is a tiff from 21 August 2021
Here is the email I’m about to send out, followed by the attached flyer
The year 1933 may have been the official, but the year 1923 was the conceptual origin of sociometry ; it was the publication date of my book Das Stegreiftheater which contained the seeds of many of the ideas which later brought sociometry to fame .
J. L.Moreno, 1978 edition, “Who Shall Survive?” p xiv

Just as every cause is a part of its effect and every effect a part of its cause, every underlying structure partakes of the peripheral and vice versa.
(Moreno 1941)
Paradoxically the big picture may be evident early on in couple therapy, even in the initial text, email or phone contact. There is a connection between visible and obvious level and the hidden “sociometric matrix” that is revealed upon investigation. The beginning of things is evident at the end, and the end is present at the beginning. That is a dialectical and holistic approach to the couple’s life and to the therapy itself.

Describe theories of energy flow, east and west
Eastern: Eastern theories of energy flow in the body focus on the concept of chi, or qi, which is believed to be a life-force energy that flows through the body in pathways known as meridians. These pathways are believed to be connected to the organs, and when the chi is blocked or out of balance, physical or emotional health issues can arise. Practices such as acupuncture, acupressure, and qigong are used to unblock and balance the chi.
Western: Western theories of energy flow in the body focus on the concept of bioelectricity, or the electrical signals that are generated by the body’s cells. This energy is believed to be important for the functioning of the body’s systems, and when it is out of balance, physical or emotional health issues can arise. Practices such as biofeedback, neurofeedback, and energy healing are used to balance the bioelectricity in the body.

Public and private
I’m not writing much here in Psyberspace. I’m not writing much at all. I am however a prolific note maker in Obsidian – one year in. Love it. But individual private notes are one thing and writing for the public another.
PKM
Obsidian is my PKM app, and I do think Personal Knowledge Management is something for us to learn. To learn to learn. It happened before privet notes take over… be it Evernote or
I tried to amalgamate my art blog, “In this Moment…” http://www.walterlogeman.com/art/ with this journal… years ago. Its only partially worked. However he old blog partially exists on The Internet archive. https://web.archive.org/web/20120625192038/http://www.walterlogeman.com/art/.
It looks ok, I’m nostalgic:
