written before any of this had a name — back when it was only a habit of noticing things and writing them down.
01
what it is
it's closer to a sketchbook made of sentences — short pieces about attention, patience, and the ordinary business of getting better at something without anyone watching.
i wrote it in the years before there was a newsletter or an app or a domain name. reading it back, it's clearly the same person asking the same question in a quieter voice.
if the letters are the walk as it happens, this is the notebook from the years before the walk had a direction.
find it on amazon →a palette is not the painting. it's the place where you find out what the colours do before you commit them to anything.
