A place for the inner life and the world around it
Essays, notes and letters on identity, choice, objects, places, culture—and the quiet structures that shape a life.
关于自我、选择、物件、地方与生活如何逐渐成形。当生活改变以后，什么会留下？
Not every beginning announces itself. Sometimes it is simply the moment we notice that our old arrangements no longer hold us.

“I is both a person and a place: a way of returning to the self, and a point from which to meet the world.”
This editorial begins with questions rather than answers. It will grow through observation, conversation and the things we choose to make visible.
这里从问题开始，而不是答案。内容将在观察、对话，以及那些值得被看见的事物中慢慢生长。
