Every crossing leaves something in us we can’t always name. I 📷 capture it, 🫒 root it, 🪂 free it — for me & you.
This is a garden, not a blog. Notes grow, link to each other, and change. Start with a verb:
- 📷 capture — what I notice on the move: images, video, journ-fragments.
- 🫒 root — thinking it through: first principles, mental models, distillations.
- 🪂 free — what I release once it’s ripe: poems, essays, tools.
The point of rooting is that a capture becomes a thought, and a thought becomes something freed. So most pieces here carry a trail — hover any link to preview where it leads.

- القصيدة الشنغهائية — a poem from Shanghai, between ‘Abla and WeChat.
- Robustness as one number → freed as Rindex.
- Arrival in San Francisco — a capture, still waiting to be rooted.
