the wall is open · mail arrives tuesdays

reclaiming the hu·story… one card at a time.

a wiki you can't type into.

omni is the natural state of alignment of your compass with theirs. the critical middle is the point: always two or more. so: a deck of cards, made by humans, for humans. you write it by hand, mail it in, and it gets pinned to a real wall and played around a real fire. no feed. no likes. no algorithm deciding who you are.

← these are real pages.
drag them around. it's fine.

// the format

every card has a front and a back. so does your compass.

north is aliveness (spirit). south is safety (the earthly body). east is problems (the mind makes them, every one). west is solutions (the calm, natural heart). one side of a card is alive or safe; the other is the problem it names or the move that helps. pull one to four and the story swings between them. lay your compass over a friend's and you're omni.

your card lands here.

every card is a real page someone made at a table. the lines on the front and back are drafted for review.

// the whole idea, in one drawing

it is in the space between us where we become.

  1. I. serene souls. get honest with your own parts first.
  2. II. our genius touching at the edges. not melting into one. not walking away. touching.
  3. III. reality becomes. what shows up in the gap belongs to neither of you. write it down. mail it.

// how it works

five panels. no app store.

  1. 1 · write itany paper. marker, pen, crayon, a drawing of a llama. three lines is a whole entry.
  2. 2 · mail itstamp it, send it to the Nook. or call the voice line and talk for four minutes.
  3. 3 · it gets hunga real pushpin, a real wall. photographed, tagged by hand, put on the map.
  4. 4 · played at the firetwenty minutes of food and games first. then someone draws three cards and the night has a plot.
  5. 5 · the next cardwhat got said gets drawn before anyone leaves. and around it goes.

nobody joins. you just start showing up.

// the wall · 19 real pages

stuff people actually made.

// in person · defiance springs, driftless wisconsin

then you go outside.

every card is a prompt for real humans standing together somewhere real. fire circles, a card-making table under the oaks, a dream walk to the cold spring. this is the first place. more come later.

illustrations are concept art, not photos of real events. real film goes here.
