Commonplace Wren

A Collection of Thoughts

Welcome to my Commonplace Book

A Commonplace Book is a place where you gather knowledge. Things you discovered and feel are profound. Things you want to come back to review. Things that delighted and inspired you.

These scrapbooks have been kept throughout history by folks such as scholars and philosophers. While they are traditionally written out by hand (you can turn any notebook into a Commonplace Book!), I’ve decided to experiment and keep mine online.
