KK · my journeys, the night sky, my work, my letters
A living sky, kept by someone who looks up.
Cosmos and consciousness
Zenith.
The point directly overhead: the whole of the sky, and the one who looks up into it.Tat tvam asi. That thou art.Chandogya Upanishad · vi.8.7
Journeys
Odysseys.
The road, read slowly: every place a chapter, every journey a book.
Nuance
Fulcrum.
A fulcrum is the small point a lever rests on, and placed well, it lets a light hand lift a great weight. Business and finance work the same way: one clause, one date or one number often decides the whole outcome, and each short piece here is about one such point.
Method
Meridian.
A meridian is the line a navigator used to fix noon and know exactly where the ship stood. Here are the methods I have used in boardrooms to find that position in finance, risk and technology, set out step by step for professionals and boards who have to make the call.
Guidance
Lodestar.
The star a traveller steers by, so that the young may find their way.
Investment
Aurora.
The first light of a new day: capital, set on what is yet to be built.
Home
Ithaca.
In the Odyssey, Ithaca is the island the long voyage sails home to. Here is who I am, the memoir of my life, and a way to write to me.
