field notes: volume I

grief + a soft surrender

FIELD NOTES — a written record of observations and reflections on seasonal living, designed to understand the phenomenon of study.

It’s 11:22 AM on a Friday in early November and a continuous line circulating my thoughts has been, “I’m grieving.”

I’m grieving. Though I know it’s temporary, it remains heavy, and distantly wonder if I’ll bleed out with the weight of it. It’s part of the process, the shedding. It feels so on-brand it’s laughable, yet I’m not quite to the laughing stage.
