  • A 14th Century Japanese Blogger
    Feb 27 2019

    There's so much advice out there about how to blog, create content, or manage your life online. A few years ago I was drowning in it. Then I read the Essays In Idleness, by a 14th century Japanese Poet and Monk called Kenkō. He inspired me to rethink my whole approach to content and self-expression, to slow down, and to let the art back into my writing. This episode is a way of giving thank for that inspiration.

  • A Thankfulness Of Things
    Feb 13 2019

    The Japanese custom of saying Itadakimasu before eating is a way of being thankful for all the various efforts that go into making the meal possible. Might it be that this humble practice could also help us be thankful for other things we use in our lives, especially those things we sometimes take for granted?
