This newsletter incorporates movement and activity (hikes, walks, etc) into my work. I’m a productive and self-disciplined person except when it comes to tasks related to taking care of myself (like exercise, diet, and rest). This log blends the two areas of my life (health + work) and it tracks my time in the field.

The 2024 paid newsletter, Grapevine, a bulleted list of offline things I was exploring, is now collapsed into this monthly dispatch.
A Saturday afternoon by the water in Kfarabida, April 2025.

April was jam-packed. Between film screenings, workshops, Israeli airstrikes, AUB events, and lots of full days with friends, it’s been a nonstop couple of weeks.

Although it was an indirectly active month in terms of movement, I overextended myself in many ways. The activity (walking) didn’t outweigh the indulgences, mostly taken out of convenience. I’m excited about hiding at home to recharge (and clean!!) but I don’t want to kill the momentum entirely. I’ve got to figure out the right speed so that I’m home often enough to keep going.

SOME FIELD NOTES…
