qarrtsiluni - what is waiting to burst forth
Via Velveteen Rabbit comes a link to this quietly poetic blog, qarrtsiluni. I am sitting here loving the explanation of the world. "The title comes from an Alaskan Inuit word for sitting together in the darkness, waiting for something to burst."
How evocative!
The idea of sitting together in darkness reminds me of a discussion some of us were having about the value of space and silence in online conversations. Breathing room. Time to allow us to synch our rhythms of thinking and writing, the fast slowing to breathe at a similar pace as the more deliberate. The opportunity of silence. Spaciousness.
This is hard to come by in a multi=tasking, always on, Web 2.0 world. I think I shall turn the computer off early tonight... and think about what in my life wants to burst forth from the darkness.
