I'm wearing my Wildfang tee from Daisy and holding a Peanuts pin Mom gave me that says 'SPEAK OUT!!'
Both depict Lucy, who is loud, brash, bold...and who can be a bit sneaky ๐
What's that got to do with me??
Welcome!
In this diary I will be recording my impressions of a new program called The Folium, which will "synthesize planetary biometry, creating an experience beyond artificial intelligence, and bring the benefits of the Earth's collective wisdom to everyone, everywhere, all the time." If that sounds wildly ambitious and kinda crazy, you're in the right place!
Start on Page 1 (like a book!) and you'll ketchup ๐ in a jiffy.

Near the Folium Pagoda...or is it Pavilion?
Take care, stay safe and be healthy friends.

Hi! I'm Daisy. I'm 16 and a half and live in the wonderful town of Forest Grove, Oregon with two of my co-workers at the Slow Rise Bakehouse and Smoke the cat, who does no work at all!
Ps. 'DJ' stands for disc jockey AND drone jockey - more about that later!
Where Art, Spirit, and Nature Meet
Ffynnon is a forested 80-acre retreat and farm located in the Nehalem River valley just south of Vernonia, Oregon. Our unusual name, Ffynnon (Welsh, pronounced FIN-un) means 'source,' or 'spring.' It is a place for returning to harmony, a place of restoration. Ffynnon connects people and community through the renewing gifts of nature, enabling members and guests to forge a deeper relationship with each other, the land, and themselves. This is the power of place. This is the power of Ffynnon.
"The term 'heptagon' comes from Ancient Greek: 'hepta' meaning seven and 'gonia' meaning angle. Therefore, a heptagon is a polygon with seven sides and seven angles - a 'seven-angled' shape."
It's a Folium Fact!
(not a Pavilion!)
"...the dojo is an impractical existence relative to our normal, gaining-losing consciousness, and, as such, is of vital importance to it. Normal, or abnormal as we are, and as we struggle to survive in this competitive and materialistic society, there needs to be a space somewhere that exists for something beyond our sense of practicality."
...no better place to while away a rainy afternoon than in one of Portlandโs many locally-owned bookstores
...a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe

A pool for soaking
Morihei Ueshiba (1883โ1969) was the founder of Aikido. At age eighteen, Ueshiba joined the Japanese military, during which time he also developed his skills in the martial arts. He eventually left the military, deeply discouraged by the death and destruction that results from combat. Ueshiba continued to experiment with a variety of martial arts, finding particular joy in the spiritual aspects of martial arts. He came to believe that a real warrior was one who was rooted in love, and it was in this spirit that he began to develop Aikido...
The Athletic is bold and unconventional, just like you.

"The key distinction between a ship and a barque is that a ship carries a square-rigged mizzen topsail whereas the mizzen mast of a barque has only fore-and-aft rigged sails"
It's a Folium Fact!
