Field Note | The Softening Hour

Late afternoon arrived with a quiet warmth today, a softening that seemed to touch the atmosphere before it touched me. The light shifted just enough to ease the day’s edges, inviting everything to settle by a degree.
I felt my body respond almost immediately—an unhurried exhale, a loosening, a small return to center that required nothing more than noticing.
So I let the hour guide me into a gentler pace, allowing its softness to shape the evening ahead.
A subtle release, welcomed.
