Laying tracks for thought.
Information today comes in overwhelming quantities, at overwhelming speed, and in a bewildering mix.

A personal note
Over the years, I’ve moved through many places, continually reshaped by new information and new ways of seeing. Some encounters shake you enough to make you rethink the whole world.
After the upheaval, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Sit down. Write with care. Do the work with care.
Think a question through. Write a sentence clearly. Do a task well. Take joy in writing and doing things well, for their own sake.
