Field Notes: Summer 2025

Invocation and benediction

I came to the spillover sound of the brook
          needing to remember there is beauty in this world
          needing to feel grief and anger and fear move through me

Barefoot in the rock-cool of the purling flow
I saw Song Sparrow
          steadfast
          atop a swaying reed

Winter 2024/2025 – The taste of snow; The luminous middle; Old question, new answer; Breadcrumbs; Ice-crusted snow; Untitled (after reading Atticus)

Fall 2024 – No clues required; Every time the wind picks up; Postcards to the Woods #4: Moonrise at sunset; Texts and birds

Summer 2024 – Seen but not seen; Signs along the trail; With these quiet noticings
