Creep
Noticing, attending, adjusting, shifting and shuffling are part of the phuplec practice of creep. This practice is based on the process of soil creep where by movement occurs on a particle level and very slowly. Flowers unfurl over a day, trees lengthen over years, the earth moves over millennia. Movement does not need to be visible to be radical.

*PHUPLEC – Pronounced ‘foo-pleck’. PHUPLEC derives from the Proto-Indo-European perfective *bhuH, meaning to become, grow or appear. From this root word comes the English word future, the Latin futūrus (about to be) and esse (to be), the Greek phuō (I grow / become) and phusis (nature), and the Old English bēo (I become, I will be, I am). Phu- is combined with an abbreviated version of the Old English *plecc (pleck or plack) meaning a plot of land, place, spot or patch.
