The journal · a ledger of nights

Notes on the sky
and the self

Written from inside the weather, not above it.

Season guides, new and full moon forecasts, long transits, and the occasional letter from wherever I'm. I write when the sky gives me something to say, so there's no schedule.

the blog archive

The whole archive,
moon by moon

Every essay, oldest to newest, marked with the moon that was up when I wrote it. Full circles are full moon forecasts. Slivers are new moons. The gaps are part of the record too, since some seasons are for writing and some are for living. Tap a moon to jump to its entry.

Written at the sky's pace, not the calendar's
