I
am a harmless old biddy who is currently residing somewhere east of
the sun and west of the moon. By temperament and desire I am a
garden-and-book Epicurean who enjoys experiencing modest pleasures
such as aponia
(absence
of pain), khara
(joy),
euphrosynê
(merriment),
and lathe
biosas
(live
unknown), all of which add up to the great Epicurean ideal of
ataraxia
(tranquility).
So
I try to base my life on ideas of slowness, inner luxury, imaginative
reverie, and poetic perception. I also
love
to immerse myself in classic literature, fin-de-siècle aesthetics,
the spiritual traditions of both East and West, the history of
divination, and any other kind of quaint and curious volume of
forgotten lore. My other interests include drinking tea, minimalism,
supporting anything decentralized or P2P, moon gazing, and listening
to the voices of the earth and the sky.
