EDITORS’ NOTE
Internal. External. Eternal. These aspects of a seeker’s self are always in conversation. The writers in this issue eavesdrop on this conversation, and relay what they’ve heard with varying approaches at turns lyrical or layered in complexity, direct or meandering. Some grounded in ancient history, and some firmly planted in a technological future. What do you know of yourself? Perhaps it might be more interesting to ask who—and where—is the you that is knowing it? READ MORE
