逍 遥 游
xiao yao you
free and easy wandering
This is the title of the first chapter of the Zhuangzi. It describes a way of engaging with the world, a way that is responsive to the endlessly changing natural processes in the world. It also suggests an attitude best suited to navigating those constant transformations with ease.
My wanderings are a little more free and uneasy these days. This blog is something like a workshop for ideas I’ve had while wandering free and uneasy along the way.
Blogging isn’t just a way to organize your research — it’s a way to do research for a book or essay or story or speech you don’t even know you want to write yet. It’s a way to discover what your future books and essays and stories and speeches will be about.

You can also find me wandering and musing on Mastodon.
Thanks for reading.
