When the night sky opens and reveals the pregnant darkness of a star-studded universe, I quiver. Sometimes I just want the glittering messages from distant worlds to wash over me. Sometimes I strain to imagine the invisible strands that weave all these worlds together. Sometimes I just trace constellations, connecting dots to make sense of it all with my humanity.

This too is about constellations.

Someday this too will be something else.

For now, let's get started.

This too is... may move in several directions:

• A journal for a wide range of opinions by a wide range of people who wish to root their lives in what is good in humanity and what is real and knowable in the world.
• Commentaries on classical and contemporary thought and other expressions that may serve as a “foundational common core” for re-imagining humanism.
• Reading/watching/listening lists that provide tools for understanding current issues in context.
• Questions and Answers
• Practice guides for conscious beings.

At the moment, this is a personal project of Catherine Ishida. I invite you to join this project and or support this project, in any way you can.
