Notes on the circle (pencil, one circle)
A magic circle is the people in it. shhh.
A circle is a line that makes a world. The drawing is the making. Words are the smallest circle there is: attention drawn around one thing and passed between people who want to look together, each one adding to it as it goes around.
A circle that never leaks is not a world, it is a vault. What makes it a world is that things cross, and that the crossing flows in both directions: what leaves changes the outside, what comes back changes the inside, and the line has to be redrawn after each one. Agency is not freedom from the line. It is a say in where it goes next. So this is a weekly test. The line redrawn each Friday.
free. Fridays. leave whenever.
