FIELD NOTES

Writing from the field.

The longer pieces, field notes, and reflections live in one place on my personal site. You can read them there whenever you're ready.

I keep the writing separate from the practices. This site's for the hard moment you're in right now: one small step, one teaching, one breath. The writing's for when you want to sit with something longer.

New pieces show up on the blog first. No need to remember anything or sign up. The link's is always here.
