Informal meeting with @shelby_loved and @toph
Date: September 10, 2018
Location: Shake Shack, Battery Park
Notes:

  • Petal Time: what is it?
  • What's important about a timestamp? That a post was made in morning or night?
  • All posts have birth charts
  • Petal Exclusives
  • In iOS Safari you can save a page to the home screen, like an app!! I can adjust the settings in the back end so Safari toolbars are hidden. A Petal “App”??
  • ...?

I've been reading this book, Carl Rogers' On Becoming A Person from 1961. The cover makes me wonder how people are like plants. Can we grow into ourselves? And what constitutes ourselves anyway? What makes a person ... a person?

Here are some of my underlined passages! I'm not done yet, literally only 1/4 (if that) of the way through.

So I might just continue to update this post with my lines. Enjoy...

Here is what I have experienced in the jungles of modern life, in the largely unmapped territory of personal relationships,

I speak as a person, from a context of personal experience and personal learnings

The facts are friendly. Every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true

depend greatly upon that which I do not yet know, and upon which I have not yet done

Because understanding is rewarding, I would like to reduce the barriers between others and me, so that they can, if they wish, reveal themselves more fully

A flower is not a flower. It is made only of non-flower elements—sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on...

A true flower contains the whole universe.

If we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower...

(Thich Nhat Hanh)

I'm very honored to be petaling with you all.

@admin What time zone is Petal time?
@elliott We're currently cruising in UTC. It's pretty disorienting, that's for sure! I'd love to figure out how to display everyone's local time. It's been suggested that a "time zone" field be added to profile fields. I think this would work with Kirby, at least on the front facing pages. What do you think?

Hello everyone! Loving all your work so far. I've just pushed a small update to include video capabilities. There is a 10mb file limit (drop a comment if you think we should raise it). Videos and images will render in the top space, all other file types will generate as a download link below. I can extend to include audio file embedding if there is interest.

Above is a little piece of Petal History - launching the website last night :)
