\na sundial with the hours centred at noon<\/span>
\nthe imaginary line connecting the north and south poles and passing through one’s location<\/span>
\nthe vertical plane of a place that contains the axis of the world<\/span>
\nthe plane that passes through the centre of the earth and the direction that a magnetised needle points<\/span>

the meridian ?<\/span><\/p>\n

it is a newsletter,<\/span>
\na monthly update that will fan out in all directions following the textures of my reverie<\/span><\/p>\n

it takes off today and will appear on the 22nd of each month<\/span><\/p>\n

Vein to vein, fibre to fibre, leaf to leaf, branch to branch, what is felt at the fingertips, at the heart of the palms, travels through the meridians of the whole body.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
