Writing

On orientation and judgement.

How we place ourselves and how we decide what matters.

I'm glad you're here

This is an experiment; one I’m sitting with as it unfolds. Much of this work comes from wrestling with constraint. For me, a constraint is a limit that doesn’t respond to effort.

What I’m curious about is how people meet these moments with grace and humility. Without rushing past or hardening in response to challenge.

I write from inside questions I’m still living. Writing is how I learn. If you’re curious, you’re welcome to join me. Pull up a chair.

This is a space for writing that unfolds slowly.
Some pieces arrive as essays. Others as notes or letters.
They are not arranged to lead anywhere in particular.

Orienting

Seeing where you are before deciding what to do. Fragments, working thoughts, and ways of noticing, illuminated. Some precede the writing. Others emerge alongside it. Not everything here resolves.

Discerning

Learning to tell what can change from what must be met.

Discernment often happens before language catches up.
Learning to stay with what is unclear long enough for differences to appear.

Steering

Choosing if and how to act once orientation is clear. Notes on action and restraint. On when to act, when to wait, and when not to intervene at all. Agency is shaped as much by what we do as what we don't.

woven over time

Occasional writing, sent when there’s something worth saying. You can unsubscribe at any time.

This is a place for letters sent once something has settled. Whether that's an essay, a thought, or simply a pattern worth naming. There’s no schedule. Nothing to keep up with. Arriving late is part of its design.
