A SMALL PRACTICE OF REMEMBERING
Make a detail
stay with you.
NOTICE / ASK / COVER / RECALLLook closely. Make a question of your own. Let the scene disappear, and see what returns.
Meet the practiceA scene.
Your question.
Choose a specimen from objects, shorelines, gardens, journeys and shared moments. Use its attention prompt to find a detail worth remembering.
Write a question and an answer key in your own words. Change the suggested question to make the cue yours.
Give memory
a little space.
Cover the specimen. Type what you remember, then reveal your answer key. A word comparison points to terms you have not repeated; you decide whether the meaning is there.
Your questions
have a place to land.
Again brings a cue back now.
Soon sets a return for tomorrow.
Keep gives the cue a week. Reopen it whenever you like.
Each saved slip holds your question, answer, return date and previous recall attempts. Try it again, refine its wording or remove it when it has served its purpose.
Follow your curiosity.
A texture. A gesture. The way one object sits beside another.
