★ Note 2 Self (and witnesses of audio-visual.journal) ★
We made it through the first iteration of the slow archival project, yay! Surprisingly, the text index was the most fun so that ended on an ideal note. Sharing that time with the contents of the journal has felt like a reflective exercise, and I want to use that shift in energy to transition into a break. Except...I don’t know what a break for audio-visual.journal looks like. So, I’m planning to play with that idea over the next month.
It may mean not sharing anything through the journal or newsletter, but possibly not (?) I am still finding value in having a space to share, and inviting others into what I want to share, for the sake of practice. Maybe there will be less (different?; a lack of?) consistency. I’m not entirely sure, but whatever it will be, I’m calling it a break (version 1.0, I guess). My plan is to return to some sense of rhythm in September.

Thank you for sharing your time with my work in this corner of the virtual void. 🖤
