FROM THE NOTEBOOK
Open the notebook ↗Smaller thoughts. Open edges.
Marginalia, working ideas and observations that do not need a full investigation.
The pause before an answer
Not every question becomes clearer by answering it quickly. Sometimes the useful work happens in the pause.
The ordinary is usually stranger than it looks
A leaf changing colour or a tree sharing resources can be more astonishing once the mechanism is visible.
Notes are not replacements for books
The best summary should make a book easier to understand, not make the original unnecessary.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Let a question lead the way.
