The Folium Diary

The Folium Diary begins as the playful audio journal of Cherie Hazzard, a brilliant, elusive young woman documenting her “internship” with a mysterious project called the Folium. Through books, banter, flirtation, philosophy, and small-town drama, Cherie gradually reveals that the diary itself is part of a larger performance: an attempt to introduce a long-term social vision rooted in ecological wisdom, affectionate anarchy, and the nurturing of better humans. As the story unfolds, family secrets, doppelgängers, hidden rooms, and shifting narrators widen the world. By the end of season one, the Folium emerges as both idea and experiment: a strange, loving nudge toward a better civilization.

Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
