I read this
Mostly
Can’t really say I have heard it said
That Said…
What DOES it mean?!
It is a funny way to go through Life, noticing turns of
phrase, having an editor living inside somewhere BEtween my brain and eyes who
almost NEVER shuts up, and all the while BEing open and willing to read and
learn and listen and watch…
That said… Is it a
new way of working round the supposed “enemy word” BUT?! MayBE. I can see how it might work, transitionally,
better than And, the pretty much generic improvement.
That said ;~D, I still wonder why so many people are
using this phrase. I know that when I DO read it, BEcause, frankly, I read far
more than I converse these days, I will almost always back up and re-read a bit
of what I just read, making sure I got
the “THAT” of the “SAID.”
I don’t really mind the phrase. It’s found itself at home in
the pile of Things That Distract Me. I mostly don’t like distraction. I like
focus and to see where I am, where I am going.
And in a blink something comes clear. The distraction is
here, inside the aforementioned nattering editor. I am a noticer, someone who pays
attention. That said, what’s my
point?!
I love you, Currie

Your collages are so strong, and I like that I really have to really think about what you've written.
