The smell of ebooks
I love the smell of ebooks! I collect them. I highlight bits. I pop bits into this blog. I have mostly Epub or Kindle versions. I convert Kobi to epub I find audio versions. All that is a form of sniffing!
Lately I have been delighted by Readwise. They found all my highlights and let me review them a few every few days. They also import them to Obsidian.
Where they look like this:
The real treat is this: The Next Chapter of Readwise: Our Own Reading App
I’m on the list and I can’t wait!
If you like the smell of books you will get in the queue.
This post is one in the long tradition here of looking at the psyche in cyberspace, this Reader is a revolution in the psyche.
Hope this finds you well — Inspiration is a distraction
I enjoy Austin Keon’s stuff — one of the newsletters I have not unsubbed from.
The thing is I get inspired. I’d love to do collage like that – I carry around a paste stick — and use it too!!
But
Inspiration is a distraction.
Keep the focus!
Donald Hamlet Wolfraim – Obituary
Donald Hamlet Ph.D. passed away quietly at home on June 28th 2021.
I received this email from Robin Wolfraim-Jenkins. and am honoured to respond. I did not know Donald Wolfraim but his Jungian perspective and gnostic take on the psyche have intrigued me.
Dear Walter.In 2011 you referred to my Grandfather’s work. Link attached. Thank you for making this accessible, it is not part of his published work and it is the only copy our family has out there. I have gotten it from your site.I am not sure if you had any connection with Donald Wolfraim, but if you did. Is there a story you could pass on to my family?I wanted to ask you to add a link to his Obituary or refer to his passing. If there is a way? If you did know him.https://www.irvineandirvinefuneralhome. com/obituary/Donald- WolfraimPhD Here is a link to his Obituary. Thank you for your time and consideration.SincerelyRobin Wolfraim-Jenkins

I walked from Windy Point to the Half-way Hut / Hope Shelter. Loved it.
Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour. July 13, 1798
There is a verse in this poem I may have put on this blog before, but here is the whole poem with that verse highlighted. It fits for me – recollecting my past but also still loving the bush. That verse is loaded with line after line that are each a “meme” on the internet. (the image above is nothing like the sylvan Wye but it is like the places I roam.)

2016 was a colourful year!
The iPad sends feature sets of photos every day. They do a great job. It’s like someone saying “Hey, I love this photos, I love your art!”
I did a lot of sketches (as I call them). The one the algorithm sent stands out from similar efforts at the time. Just the right balance of dark and light.
George Henrick Breitner & childhood reminisces
I’m enjoying Daily Art.
Today they featured George Henrick Breitner. That led me to to an earlier post, from 2020, about this painting:

Found
I found this image in a neglected place on my iPad, in an app I was trying out. I must have made it some years ago. Today it resonated. I’ve been thinking about the value of containment and the value of a clear focus on a point. Continue reading “Found”
