Just copied that word “perseverants” out of Cris’s last comment about Farmer John’s Friday post. Spell check thinks it’s bogus but some of our best words are bogus. Maybe it’s the new hip word that just got birthed. Spell check liked ”birthed”. I’m not sure that is a word though.
Sometimes life is confusing like that. Maybe it would help to capitalize it and then it would sound like a sports team. Or maybe it is like The Commitments which was a film about a band with that name. Maybe we need a sports team jacket with The Perseverants arched across the back in bold letters. Then we could see if that looked right.
Anyway, I think her idea is sound. I just reviewed Farmer John’s post and it talked about being enamored with things that last. We seem to be lasting here at the blog. Not earthshaking are we but just a constant soft vibration that you can hear if you are in a quiet place and listen intently.
But the Perseverants must be folks that have a certain bent, a certain way. There must be a commonality in the thinking or the sensibilities or the purpose. It also might be that they appreciates a certain sense of history about things.
I don’t know, just kicking around ideas here today I guess. Time for lunch here now and I do know that. Thanks for being here as always.
soft vibration loves, Felipé.
Yes, The Perseverants is a perfect name for the Team Veranda band! With or without a bass player, even, because it’s exactly what we all are and continue to be, just like you and this blog and our memories and plans. We persevere. I’d never thought about it from this collective perspective before but it feels very authentic.
Persevering loves,
