Tending this garden is my way of bringing order and harmony to my mind and my life. You might recognize it as a second brain, digital notebook, commonplace book, [[zettelkasten]], or personal wiki. **My stream of thought waters this garden of knowledge.** Time spent here is about cultivating possibilities. Possibilities, like seeds, often lie hidden, waiting patiently beneath the surface — ready to grow when given care and attention. Gardening, as a metaphor for knowledge management, involves nurturing these seeds of insight with my stream of thought, helping them flourish into meaningful understanding and clear thinking. **The notes you'll find here are primarily for my own reference and exploration.** Because of this, many remain unfinished or loosely formatted, yet I share them in hopes they might spark something meaningful for you. I make an effort to credit original sources, but if something feels unclear or incomplete, please reach out. ## Explore the Garden Every garden needs a map.
