Christie's Salon of Curiosity
Perhaps we spend our lives trying to decipher ourselves.
Looking back over the years, I realize that this is what I have been doing—not by looking in a mirror, but by paying attention to the world.
Each has become a way of asking
What does it mean to be alive and awake?
It began with music. Over time, I discovered I was also listening to places, books, conversations, and the unexpected moments that quietly shape our lives.
Christie’s Salon of Curiosity is an invitation to join me in that conversation.

Welcome to Music and Art. “Where melodies, paintings, and unexpected connections meet.”
Music was where this journey began. I thought I was following musicians. In time I realized I was also following painters, books, conversations, and unexpected moments of recognition. These essays are the footsteps of that discovery.

Welcome to Books, Films & Ideas.
For much of my life I believed I was collecting books.
Now I think they were collecting me.
A novel discovered in Lisbon. A forgotten film in Berkeley. An essay read on a rainy afternoon. Each opened another door, leading not only to new ideas but to unexpected places and friendships.
This room is a gathering of those companions.
