After stepping on board and making your way through a somewhat
confusing structure of metallic and wooden hallways,
you find yourself in the captain’s cabin.
Under construction!
commonplace
: happening often or often seen or experienced and so not considered to be special
Commonplace books (or commonplaces) are personal notebooks used to compile any information the owner finds interesting or useful. They can variously contain notes, proverbs, adages, aphorisms, maxims, recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, prayers, legal formulas...
Oh, hello, intrepid internaut! :) In our endless voyages, our paths seem to have crossed. Welcome aboard the good ship Commonplace!
Indeed, this site, this ship of mine is a commonplace.
A commonplace in that, like many other sites on the small web, this is my little home on the web, my corner away from the noise of mainstream social media platforms.
A commonplace in that it collects songs, quotes, images, interests, obsessions, notes, proverbs, adages, aphorisms, maxims… you know the deal. A digital archive of the stuff I’m fond of, a loving keeper of commonplace things that many before me have kept, but that are nevertheless important to me.
A common()place in that I wish to share it with you.
So make yourself at home, my fellow internaut, rest your weary bones, enjoy your stay and, when it is time to part, fair winds and following seas!
