Savor of the Month (18)

It’s June! And once again, it’s time for Savor of the Month!

For newcomers:

At the start of every month I announce one specific thing or theme to look out for, pay attention to, appreciate. The idea is to convert something everyday and taken for granted into something we might, yes, savor.

And every month I create a chat thread where you can share what you are noticing, or enjoy what others have noticed, in connection with the current theme. You can post pictures, drawings, written observations, whatever works for you. Or just browse!

Themes so far:

Flaws (results here) * Rust (results here) * Public Text (results here) * Calm (results here) * Treasure (results here) * Winter (results here) * Mysteries (results here) * Outliers (results here) * Ornamentation (results here) * Everyday Artists (results here) * Reflections (results here) * Contrast (results here) * The Temporary (results here; related audio essay here) * Wind (results here) * Circles (results here) * Small Flowers (results here) * Shadows (results here)

For June, the subject is PINK. As in the color. I have pondered a single color prompt for a while, as an echo of the whole color walk idea.

Below, I’ll say a little more about this, and about why I chose this color, but in short: be attentive to PINK as you go about your days in the month ahead.

The thread is open.
