Passing Weather.

Field Notes 20260617 - Wednesday

Recently, especially in the last few days, I have been dealing with a mild bout of doubt and internal friction regarding my work. Honestly, I have been expecting this and have been keeping that aspect in mind as passing internal weather.

Other than that, I started the new week hitting the ground running, literally. Monday was an aggressive 10k, Tuesday was 90 minutes of strength training, and today I ran a decently paced 8 miles. No ankle pain from last week, no pain at all.

Today’s Field Notes illustration:

“The Moon.” Major Arcana XVIII, my rendition of the Rider–Waite–Smith card illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. A face in the full moon sheds pale drops of light over a path that winds up from a pool, passes between two grey towers, and disappears toward distant hills; a dog and a wolf howl below while a crayfish climbs from the water at the path’s edge. It speaks to the stretch of practice that unfolds in half-light, where intuition leads and the route is felt rather than seen. For me this card is less about omen or hidden danger than about staying on the dim path without insisting the lights come up first. The way is lit just enough to take the next step.


Afternoon
Meditation
  • 30 minutes.
  • Expand App, timer section, F12 (expanded awareness).

The focus of today’s session was a sort of free-flow meditation focused on upkeep and alignment, which is pretty typical for this time of the week. Last week I ended up pulling a last-minute thread about “my subjective F21 experience” to further my progress and understanding of that frequency. While I did not return to this particular thread in the last few days, I am intending to jump back in as the next set of sessions gets underway.
