Use tags as mood, not label

In FragmentPractice, tags are not for sorting — they’re for shaping presence.
A tag like #quiet.presence
or #body.rhythm
doesn’t explain — it outlines a mood field.
You don’t tag to categorize — you tag to contour.
Why this matters
Language tends to fix meaning.
Tags in this practice resist that — they act more like signals or weather.
A poetic tag can:
- Suggest rather than define
- Invite resonance, not sorting
- Be remembered as rhythm, not metadata
How to do it
- After writing a Fragment, pause
- Ask yourself: What mood lingers?
- Choose or invent a tag that feels like a residue, not a summary
- Examples:
#hesitation.trace
・#soft.structure
・#evening.presence
- Add it as a final note — like a breath after the words
Example use
I stayed longer than I planned.
#held.moment
A breeze moved the curtain — I didn’t move.
#weather.syntax
The rice burned, but I liked the smell.
#trace.of.error
Tips
- Combine familiar and invented tags
- Use repetition across days to sense your inner rhythm
- Let tags change — even for the same feeling
Optional Extensions
- Review your Fragments by tag — not for meaning, but tone
- Let the Bot suggest tags not to classify, but to echo mood
- Create a ZINE from fragments with the same mood-tag
“A tag is not a name. It is a quiet mirror.”
Use it not to define — but to stay with the feeling.
