A weekly walk along the Pamlico River and through the neighborhood. And a weekly record of this real place at this exact time. This is a practice of paying attention. Slowly, and out loud, to ordinary things. ordinaryaweeveryday.substack.com

    November 13 Walk — the first 10 minutes

    I walk and talk every week on Friday, and I record the practice. This is the first ten minutes of today’s walk along the Pamlico and through the neighborhood on Friday the 13th. The river was still, the light is getting thin, and the police were in the neighborhood. Also: It’s Finn’s first time going on the Friday walk with us.

    Saturday Report — Nov 7

    A weekly record of one small place, kept over coffee on a Saturday morning. This week in the neighborhood: the decorations are mostly gone, except for a stray skeleton here and there, the acorns are falling, the Crepe Myrtles dropped their leaves, the water was choppy yesterday, and I’m thinking about how to not borrow trouble. A great heron, not an egret, made his appearance on yesterday’s walk. Something to try: deal only with the day you’re in. If you’d like to walk with me, the free Wonder Walk is eighteen minutes around the neighborhood: listen to it here. Get full access to Ordinary Awe at ordinaryaweeveryday.substack.com/subscribe

    November 6 Walk — the first 10 minutes

    I walk and talk every week, and I record the practice. This is the first ten minutes of today’s walk along the Pamlico on a Friday in the rain. It’s still warm, around seventy-five, and the breez is blowing up river. The river is choppy, and an egret flies off when we get close. Nothing cleaned up here, including the wind in the microphone and the rain on the umbrella. Also: Finn the rescue dog is afraid of thunder.

  4. Oct 31

    Saturday Report — Oct 31

    A weekly record of one small place, kept over coffee on a Saturday morning. This week in the neighborhood: the houses are ready for trick-or-treaters, the leaves are turning, the roses finished blooming, the water is flat, and I’m thinking about how to show up consistently but also keep moving. Finn the rescue dog has his first visit to the groomers. Something to try: notice the thing you show up for no matter what, even if it’s just the morning pot of coffee.

    October 30 Walk — the first 10 minutes

    I walk and talk every week on Friday, and I record the practice. This is ten minutes of today’s walk along the Pamlico and through the neighborhood on the day before Halloween. The river was high, the birds were quiet, and the sidewalk was covered with acorns. Also: Finn’s first time at the groomers.

    October 30 Walk — the first 10 minutes

  6. Oct 25

    Saturday Report — Oct 24

    This week in the neighborhood: walking at night, a nearly full moon, geese on the water, a wedding, lots of lanterns, and a big question… Did the neighbor steal my bike? A weekly record kept on a Saturday night this week. And it comes with a warning: this one is full of plosives, and I thought of not publishing it for that reason, but I’m keeping the practice intact even with this major imperfection. Listen at your own risk. Nothing to try this week, except maybe rest if you need to!

    October 23 Walk — the first 10 minutes

    This is the beginning of a talking-free Friday night walk. Ten minutes along the Pamlico, recorded live on a Friday evening in late October. Through the neighborhood and along the river walk. Crickets and frogs chirp, a neighbor sings, and the geese come in for a landing on the river. As they say, “Don’t speak unless you can improve upon the silence.” Get full access to Ordinary Awe at ordinaryaweeveryday.substack.com/subscribe

    Saturday Report — October 17

    A weekly record of one small place, kept over coffee on a Saturday morning. This week in the neighborhood: a soaking rain and cooler temps, a total remodel of one of the big old houses, but less construction overall, the church bells seem early, the Bayberry tree gets pruned and cleaned up, and the Sycamore sheds some more of its bark after all. Finn the rescue dog has conquered separation anxiety. Something to try: visit the same location over a series of days and notice what changes. It might surprise you.
