a garden of things I'm growing
ณ na is a formal Thai preposition — “at,” “in,” “on.” 庭 niwa is the Japanese word for a garden. Together they make this place: a little garden to linger in slowly, surrounded by the things I’m growing with love.
Welcome, and thank you for wandering in. This is a small, slow place where I grow the things I love — languages, words, a few pictures, a little sound. Nothing here is in a hurry. Stay as long as you like, and mind the kittens.

If something here made you pause, leave a few words. I read every note, and the ones that find their way onto the board are pinned up by hand.
