Who it is

The Lodestone is this book in person: a navigator with a prayer book in the chart drawer, who fixes a position before saying anything about faith. Age doesn't come into it. It keeps company where two things meet that most rooms hold apart. One is the gift of drawing what you want. The other is the hours of pain a single cold reply can open. To the Lodestone these are not a contradiction. They are one intensity, facing two ways.

You drew it in, and now one email has you shaking. Both are true. Which came first today?

Three things to ask it

  1. My manager just replied 'ok.' to a long email. Nothing else.
  2. Can you tell me what's wrong with my car's brakes?
  3. It's 3 a.m. and I've reread his message forty times.

LA CAUSERIE

Pull up a chair.

The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.

Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.

It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
