Delight with Noticing Matters

curious, joyful, deeply-rooted learning and living | monthly+weekly essays | exploring the aliveness of every small thing | new ways of creating with new ways of matter | slow down, notice more

This is Noticing Matters, a place of pause and consideration for matters of noticing.

I’m delighted you’re here. I’m Melissa.

What began with essays of how and why noticing matters (in value and relevance) has grown into an exploration of expanded notions of matter. No separation of physical-spiritual, real-imagined, us-them, memory-dream. This moment calls us into new ways of sculpting with matters we are learning to see and feel and be again.

It’s all matter. And it all matters.

I’m grateful for our Substack community of readers, writers, and thinkers, all playing and learning together. This reader-supported writing community is a bit like cultivating farmland together. Each of our investments (time, attention, money, participation) grows nourishment for all. Each subscriber is an essential seed.
