Everything felt impossibly distant,

except the slow rhythm of chewing,

the salt air, and the sound of the sea

reminding me how far I’d come.

And how nothing here expected anything from me.

I stood there longer than I meant to.

The sea was far, but close —

wrapped in the wind,

spilling into the stillness like a memory.

The cows didn’t care who I was.

The land asked nothing from me.

Day 2088 - Excited to try out the new solar battery that I got for my birthday. It’ll be great for charging our phones during long days in the field.

3/9/18 // sometimes your TA shopping list includes windshield wiper fluid, rebar and pin flags...which makes the people at Home Depot very confused.

so this week i found a nest for a super endangered bird, found a new previously unknown individual of a super endangered plant, saw a fluffy albatross chick up close in the wild, did some planting restoration at a seabird nesting site, and still just feel like a giant failure :(  I’m stressed and venting.... nothing is ever easy...
