Field Notes

These short curated pieces from my journal were asking to be shared along with my longer Walks with Asha stories.

And so Field Notes came to be.

They’re organized by the seasons. And yet I’ve found these reflections, insights and observations extend beyond the boundaries of the time of year they were written.

All of them have a home here on my storysite.

And each month, usually on the new and/or full moon, selected ones arrive in email inboxes.

Winter 2022/2023
Prayer, then and now
After eight inches of heavy, wet snow

Fall 2022
A just-right angle
Not so Common Milkweed
Will they come true?
En route to the forest floor
I can’t just call them all brown
I wonder if their encounter was a poem

Late Summer 2022
My amended reply
Bird voices
Looking out. Looking in.
Palmate instead of red

Summer 2022
For the beauty of this walk
Woodpecker rhythm
Elliptic-leaved Shinleaf
The service I want to honor

Spring 2022
Wings
Pink joy of spring
Wondering: One walk, one afternoon
A new-to-us trail
Companions after a sleepless night

bird tracks after a light snow

Winter 2021/2022
Breadcrumbs
But then, so when, and then
Winter visitors
My inner three-year-old meets ice
Tender hope, holy beauty

Late Fall 2021
I almost said
Letter to myself after reading Hafiz First snow

mushrooms growing on a fallen tree

Fall 2021
Second annual Gentian Day
Sitting with tea and Tang
Eyes-closed listening
Not alone: Companions in the woods
Learning a new language: Then and now

summer stream

Summer 2021
Stretching lessons
No stepping stones
A red-feathered lesson in priorities

Red Maple buds

Spring 2021
A change within
How I spent the morning
Glide
The time it takes
A glimpse

American Beech leaves in the snow

Winter 2020/2021
Circle in the snow
Snow: Beyond shoveling
Returning

fiery fall foliage

Fall 2020
On a path
Treasure
November
