well said for one should be able to discern, i.e., one gains a semblance after thousands upon thousands of impressions

> Sorry, enough poetry

don't apologize! poetry is quite analogous to design i find: some to tend to overlook the fact that poetry is not simply a literary form/genre but a manner of seeing the world [and a manner of being-in-the-world (an assemblage: a way of assembling one's life)]

aside from, say, starting an archive of design one finds noteworthy on something like https://www.are.na/, the following which are on my to-read list seem mighty seedful:

- Ways of Seeing: https://www.ways-of-seeing.com/
