About this site

Garden Of Shalva is an independent publication launched in February 2026 by Yuval May.

I think a lot about aesthetics, human behavior, how we learn, and the small absurdities of everyday life. This garden is where those ideas live some are fully formed, some are still growing.

I write about what I notice. Sometimes it's a philosophical concept that won't leave me alone. Sometimes it's a man with a guitar serenading my lasagna. Both feel equally important.
