Introductions. They're hard to do when you're a wandering identity.
You might remember me as Alsanitive or Kira Whitestring. One more time — now I'm Anshelical. Read and improvised on fantasy projects and purple poetry, and had a lot of time to stew on where to settle. Have bitten into more books than I chewed on. Pursued plenty of paused pursuits. Now I'm recovering recreational reading and writing retrospective.
Glad to see you here, fellow artist. Let's act accordingly.

"Supper in Summertime"
It is a blazing yolk on the atmospheric plate
that hangs over the palm stalks this late
Not edible not close and not ornate
But whispers to our hungry eyes, "Wait"

"My eyes jump quickly between two words, barely settling down from the floaty distraction. It's like falsely seeing between the words of a glaringly large wall of text. But really it's a fast process, and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up.
"So what I meticulously do is let my eyes calmingly rest onto the page. When I do this, something miraculously happens. It's almost like I'm noting the subtle differences in the words immediately and, with just a hint, cheerfully. It's like a briefly rejuvenating breath of fresh air, except it's not only for the breath, but often rest for the sight.
"Boldly doing this with a perfectly clear intention feels effortless in the moment, but it is actually difficult to do in practice. You might fall into the trap of inventing a new method forcefully, bludgeoning a supposingly graceful form into shape. Then there's sweetly pretending you're patiently honoring your muse with the luxuries of time. Honestly, you're likely to be increasingly frustrated with every failure to achieve that completely clear idea.
"Only slowly yet slightly briskly, you'll get there. Momentarily."

One of the most popular scenes from the Death Note anime of all time comes from Episode 8, "Glare," and I think the reason is merely this — the epitome (and underlying humor) of fine deliberacy, or what I can say is psychological “flow” in action:
“I’ll continue solving equations with my right hand while with my left I’ll write a name, take out a potato chip and eat it!”
— Light Yagami, Episode 8 - “Glare”, Death Note (Sub)
There can be something said of “flow” to be “fully immersed” in the endeavor at hand, that is to be “energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity”, with some implication that the activity is also enjoyable and brings ultimate fulfillment. And it went to show here that a task as simple as eating potato chips can have the utmost countermeasure in the heat of the moment.
Totally recommend.

A leader I know once quoted a well-known saying, "The secret of golf is in the dirt."
Whether it means the persistence of hard work or the practice like nothing else matters, I to this day don't understand its mysterious meaning.

You might have known today is International Literacy Day, but you probably might not have known you can make an impact by having fun generating funds.
Seriously. You can play the United Nations World Food Programme's "Freerice" vocabulary game and, as the name implies, help donate grains of rice for free. Or at the cost of fluency, that is.
