The Map — choose the tradition or worldview you come from, then explore the threads connecting it to every other.

Ask the thing you've never asked.

In Ōtsuchi, Japan, there's a phone box in a garden with a disconnected rotary phone in it. People go there to say things to the dead. Nobody is on the other end, and that is the point — it's easier to say something true when nothing is going to answer back.

This is that. If there's a question about this tradition you've never felt able to ask out loud — because of who'd hear it, or because it felt disloyal, or stupid, or too late to be asking — you can put it down here.

Nothing is coming back. There's no reply, no promise it becomes an episode, and no way to follow one up. Questions left here are read, and some may be read aloud on the show — never with anything attached to them, because there's nothing to attach. No name, no email, no account. I have no way of knowing who you are, and I'd rather keep it that way.
