Grateful for this recent visitor-collaborator who helped me figure out how to start a book on wonder

@AKeenReader We should think and write wonder together sometime ❤️

@onelittlejunco citing you in my thesis today! #wonder #nerdlyf

All grading is done. I’m sipping one of Steve’s amazing cocktail creations: honey-gin lime gimlet. Reading an engaging research methods text. Dreaming of other ways of living-being-doing. #happyplace

Thinking-acting with the words of Mirka Koro today

@mightbeautistic I was in the woods, climbing trees. Hair matted, dirty knees. Peeking under rocks. Toads in my pockets.

@AKeenReader @JoAlbinClark On the threshold of what else possible

Loving this quote from a co-researcher (aka ‘participant’): “Reading the cover letter, I think, explained the activity well but left enough wonder for us to still not really know what was going to happen.” #nerdlyf #wonder @onelittlejunco @JoAlbinClark

@AKeenReader Awww 🥰 thanks my new wonder buddy

Wonder as a ‘common, ubiquitous, and catalytic force that works to open up possibilities and make felt potential in and through everyday events and encounters’. Byers in Wallace et al., 2022, p. 136 Lovely @onelittlejunco 💕 #nerdlyf

@Rishikaye @SwitzerLSarah Wow, this looks amazing!

@AKeenReader @ehusci_louise @JoAlbinClark @Julie__Ovington @playbrarian I love this so much ❤️ I have a chapter in this book (starts pg. 135) you might find helpful. I was still in initial thinking/tinkering phase, playing with ideas about wonder and cite a lot of wonder scholarship. link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…

@ehusci_louise @JoAlbinClark @Julie__Ovington @onelittlejunco @playbrarian Lovely. For me, it’s less about the knot, but more trying to explore how play, wonder and the space of possibilities are interlinked, interwoven, non-causal, mutually forming and informing. #nerdlyf

@onelittlejunco *being cheeky alert* Have decided to dwell in Wonder a little more. Thinking along the lines of a Celtic trinity knot of wonder, play, and the space of possibilities. Any fave readings or writers to recommend please? Also asking @JoAlbinClark @playbrarian

@AKeenReader @JoAlbinClark @playbrarian *That’s Philo Hove

@AKeenReader @JoAlbinClark @playbrarian Favorite more-than-human thinkers on wonder: Genevieve Lloyd, Maggie MacLure, Erin Manning. Favorite from a psych perspective: Vlad Glaveanu has a 2020 book that is amazing. Favorite phenomenological exploration: Philip Hove

@AKeenReader @JoAlbinClark @playbrarian Also, love your Celtic trinity knot 🥰

@AKeenReader @katejstrom @PhilippaIsom @JFletcherSaxon @Sarahchave1 @JoAlbinClark @nikkifairchild2 @dianagracenz Would LOVE to chat about this anytime! So fascinating. Think curiosity belonging to the realm of the already actualized, wonder as a thresholding/relational phenomenon, becoming attuned to and moving with the virtual, or the realm of what else is possible ❤️

@katejstrom @PhilippaIsom @JFletcherSaxon @Sarahchave1 @JoAlbinClark @nikkifairchild2 @dianagracenz @onelittlejunco Thanks Katie! And, yes please @onelittlejunco 🙏🏽👋🏼

Seems like a conducive environment for reading ‘A Philosophy of Wonder’ (Parsons, 1969) #nerdlyf

@marijkehecht @ScienceSig @SEEDS4equity @RESHAPEnetwork Definitely interested. Maybe we could propose starting one through @SEEDS4equity

@TatiRussoTait @JRSTpub Fantastic!!!! Can’t wait to read!!!

@marijkehecht @LrningInstigatr @shimirawms Wow. So much yes 🥰

@marijkehecht Your writing is so beautiful and powerful 🔥

@marijkehecht @OSUEnvironment So excited for you!!!

@marijkehecht @anandammarin @PittEducation I love this. This is how I live too. Paying attention, moving accordingly. It’s how I found you 🥰
