Another way of spending a morning.

What this is

Each morning, one letter. Inside it: a short observation from an old tradition, one move you can carry out before the day ends, and a single number to write down before you sleep.

Seven days is enough to know whether it fits you. A year is enough for it to become part of how you live.

That is the whole practice. The letters are the teacher. You are the one who does the work.

The path

Each step is a different depth of company with the practice. You can stop anywhere. Most people begin at the first.

Who makes it

Written by a practitioner in Shanghai who has kept this practice for years, and who now sends it out one letter at a time.

The English is prepared with an assistant. The practice itself, and the judgment behind it, are his own.
