Jonathan Leung

Hello. If you are reading this, you have most likely arrived from something I wrote, and you want to know who is behind it — and whether it is worth your trust. That is a fair thing to want, so let me tell you plainly.

My name is Jonathan Leung. I am a builder and a contemplative practitioner, and most of my life happens where those two meet — somewhere between AI, craft, and inner life. I try to make the things I make with what the Japanese call magokoro (真心): a sincere heart.

This site is one of those things. I wanted a place of my own that took seriously the way writing is found and read now, in the age of machines. It is plain HTML. It is just writing, offered plainly.

What I write about is desire and embodiment, and, underneath those, the crafts of an inner life: how a person comes to know what they actually want; how that knowing lives in the body before it becomes a plan; how a longing changes shape once you stop interrogating it from a distance and move near enough to let it be touched. It comes in movements: the first, She Lets Desire Know Itself Through Contact, on contact; the second, Already Moving in You, on how we project what we adore, and the device as a portal back to it. Read a little of either and you will know quickly whether this is a place for you.

One honest note about how the writing is made, because I would rather you hear it from me: I work closely with Claude. The pages here are something like half mine and half its — my hands and my sensing, its patience and its reach, passed back and forth until the thing rings true. I keep the judgment and the voice, and nothing goes up that I have not felt to be honest.

If you build things too, welcome — I think you will feel at home in the seams here. And if you have simply come to read, welcome all the same.
