3. The Saturday Roundup
my commonplace book notion template, the secret to being happy, dried flowers
Hello & thanks for being back here with me this Saturday!
I’m excited to announce that I published my Commonplace Book Notion template after putting it off for so long! I know a lot of you wanted to know how I organize my reading, excerpts, thoughts & ideas — and this template is exactly what I use to do all of that.
“A notebook, probably, or a to-do list of everything we do not yet know but might actually want, also abt flowers, travels, books / not-books, poems / not-poems, communist desire, brand mis-management, perfume and the other senses, ideas about love and also ideas about the shape of ideas, what does it mean to be tethered to the world in an ending world and what brings about unending or untetherment.” — Anne Boyer

You want to know how I spend my time?
I walk the front lawn, pretending
to be weeding. You ought to know
I'm never weeding, on my knees, pulling
clumps of clover from the flower beds: in fact
I'm looking for courage, for some evidence
my life will change, though
it takes forever, checking
each clump for the symbolic
leaf, and soon the summer is ending, already
the leaves turning, always the sick trees
going first, the dying turning
brilliant yellow, while a few dark birds perform
their curfew of music. You want to see my hands?
As empty now as at the first note.
Or was the point always
to continue without a sign?
