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.

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

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