Salut. Alors, quel est ce lieu-ci ?
Hello, Reader. Pardon my French, it's a habit I've picked up along the way. I study French, amongst other things, and have another place that's stylistically designed using French for page elements, titles, et cetera. When I started writing the introductory post for this new one, it just felt right to kick it off that way too. Incidentally, some elements of this blog's layout are in French as well, but that's not intended to necessarily become an overarching stylistic convention for the blog so much as a reflection of my personal style and thoughts in creating this place. However, it may predicate parts of the motif this place has and will develop further… how I do love my veiled allusions.
Back to that question, then… What is this place?
Well, the other pages I write or contribute to were conceived to cover specific groups or activities, some explicit elements of life. This new place is to be organic. With my other outlets for writing being dedicated and constrained to more specific styles and tones, I am seeking to create a place where I can write about more broad topics without having to wrest my thoughts into a particular canon. (pun intended?)
Anyway, I want this place to teem with with living ideas, and hopefully in turn nurture new ones; growing a fertile and diverse intellectual ecosystem. From the most minute and plankton-esque ideas to the great leviathans nourished in turn by their diminutive and numerous nature, this place should form an ocean fed by every river of thought.
Like a real ocean, I can only hope it provides the same nurture and life to the world, and true freedom to the men who make their lives there.
La vie en mer est quelquechose exceptionnel, n'est pas ?
I got carried away by the metaphor there, but it was fun to "go with the flow," as it were. Hah!
