A professor once asked me where I thought the most great ideas in history could be found.

As if I would know.

I blanked.

Then, after a pause...

Cemeteries, he said.

Because thoughts are ephemeral. Like ghostsinsights, intuitions, revelations, subtle observations... emerge, expand, and disappear, only to vanish altogether, as if they were never there.

But the vast majority of our great ideas lay on the blank pages of our notebooks, the steam in our coffee vapours, or somewhere with a stranger, in the chaos of the future.

This periodical is me sitting with my pen, paper, and coffee, somewhere in your past.

You're the stranger.
