  • I’ve had a tab open for kening zhu’s post about rituals vs. sprints for nearly a month. It reminds me about something Katherine May once said on a podcast* about the cycle of neurodivergent hyperfocus and recovery. Versus a neurotypical ideal of consistency. It’s something I am still figuring out. Having experienced burn out I find I need to be careful of flying too close to the sun. But trying to force a structure that doesn’t align with my capacity is also not right. I’d love to hear other thoughts on this.

    * I can’t seem to find the podcast episode I’m talking about. 🤦

  • I remember the moment I discovered kening zhu’s website.

    I was taking a break from Substack and discovered are.na.

    It followed a warren of rabbit holes chasing one link after another until I landed on kening’s homepage.

    I won’t spoil the surprise for anyone who hasn’t been there, but I was filled with delight and curiosity and wonder.

    When I set about to move webhosts I started recreating my minimalist artist’s gallery. But it didn’t feel right.

    Serendipity (or magic) kening’s podcast episode Website as Cocoon waited in my podcast reader and was just what I needed to hear.

    I pulled out my journal and started scribbling lists of places I wanted in my online world. I could still have an art gallery, but the rest of my site would expand to hold the whole of me. And, perhaps, the whole of you.

    I followed links to a constellation of other podcasts and blog posts from kening about websites and creative process.

    It felt like connecting with kindred spirit over an endless pot of tea.

    So grateful for the invitation to inhabit a dreaming space while I recreated my website.
