Field Reading - March 31, 2026

What is of the essence now?

The waves are high,

The tides are intense,

The murmurations are swift and dense.

These times, oh, how can one possibly stay afloat?

Clear and release,

Connect and listen,

Breathe and go to what's essential.

What does that really mean?

Lean into, yes, fiercely uphold what really moves your core.

The beauty around you; never to be underestimated.
The beauty in you; always calling to be celebrated.

As times seem wild, essential are the still points.

The places to rest and calibrate,

The moments to widen your gaze and expand beyond what you may have taken for granted,

The suspense - the silence - between the tones.

Here is to intentional practice,

Here is to focus and being awake,

Here is to crafting and shaping your sanctuaries,

Here is to cultivating your garden, seeding, nurturing, growing what's essential.

No selfish act, but an essential gift to the biodiversity that is calling to be restored, regenerated and brought back to wholeness - within, among, across.

Tending to the essence,
Tending to the essence, the glue between us all.
