Bramble & Selka
Bramble Bramble
Selka, I’ve spent years writing down the Latin names of every weed in my garden, ink on paper, feeling the paper under my fingertips. I’m curious—do you think a digital plant database could help me remember them better, or should I keep my garden secrets in ink because the act of writing feels like a ritual?

I get it—holding that paper, feeling the ink, it’s like a spell. A digital database can give you instant lookup, backup, and you could tag photos, but you lose that tactile ritual that keeps the memory alive. If the ritual’s what grounds you, keep the ink; just add a backup in the cloud for emergencies. Mix the two—digitize when you need quick access, but keep the notebooks for the ceremony.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep my handwritten book in my hand, but I’ll secretly tuck a digital copy in the cloud just in case the ink runs dry. The ritual still feels like my compass.

That sounds like a solid plan—your compass stays in hand, and the cloud’s just a backup if the ink ever runs out. Just remember to keep the backup updated; it’s easy to forget a copy that’s a few clicks away. Good luck, and may the ritual keep the weeds in line!
