Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

Rhodonite
The rose that grew through the wound and did not resent the thorn.
The Stone
Rhodonite is a warm rose-pink laced with veins and patches of black — manganese oxide threading through the pink like ink through blossom. The name comes from the Greek for rose, and the finest polished pieces look exactly like that: a soft dusty pink, sometimes deep and almost salmon, marbled with dark dendritic streaks that give each stone its own map. The contrast is the whole beauty of it, the tender pink and the hard black held together in one body.
That marriage of light and dark is fitting for a healer’s stone. Rhodonite does not pretend the black veins away; it carries them, and is more beautiful for it — a quality that gives the stone its gentle, forgiving character.

Properties
Rhodonite is the stone of compassion and emotional healing — a balm for the wounded heart. It is turned to in the aftermath of grief, betrayal or old hurt, drawing the poison from the wound and encouraging forgiveness, both of others and of oneself. Sitting at the heart, it balances the emotions and steadies the reactive spikes of resentment and anger into something calmer and more merciful. Its earthy Venusian nature roots love in the practical and the enduring, making it a stone of reconciliation and of the patient work of repair.
In Practice
Worn over the heart or held during emotional processing, it supports the slow labour of healing after loss or conflict — softening bitterness into acceptance. It is often kept close through the ending of a relationship or the mending of one, a quiet aid to forgiveness. In meditation it is placed at the chest to release stored grief and to open the heart again without leaving it defenceless.
