Public explorations

I feel energized by the prospect of there being a page on pingpractice.org that holds explorations: past, present, and not yet explored.

Specifically, I feel energized by:

1. The idea of this page being a meeting place: a place to discover other people who feel similarly attracted to exploring an idea.

2. The page offering a template or format that helps you scaffold the idea you are attempting to bring into "explorable form"

3. The idea of this page offering a body to reflect on, see connections between, etc.

Note: prior to writing the above, this page/place had existed in my mind as "Quests." Although, Rachel and I have been using the term "Explorations" for the past couple of months so it felt more natural to use that term here. Let's see.

Public Exploration Ideas

• "Calendar" view: a view further "zoomed out" from "grid" that would enable you to, at a glance:

  • See when you have and have not pinged

  • Navigate back to specific days

  • Develop a general sense for your high-level practice. Think: weather.
