I think that I am going to have a few practice swings with it, before I go full Friday the 13th Jason. :)
but engaged seems more to me like 'current' and 'present' when we do so. One is what we do and one is what we are (or are not).
I think that this is an important distinction. I see a lot of people engaging, that aren't really present, but they seem to think that making a comment is enough and no one will notice their lack of genuine interest.
I've been sorting photos off and on through the lock down and I have a serious new appreciation for the power of them.
Damn it! This is what I should have been doing! :D
I think that in the moment we take the photo we do not necessarily understand the importance of it to us. Later when we can reflect, the information it stores becomes apparent. I have never been to the States, but I hear that Yosemite is great - one of the benefits of large countries is the range of nature.
I have overhauled carburetors in the kitchen sink. Conveniently sized and shaped...
You sound like my brothers. :)
