On the Inconvenient Practice of Actually Caring About Things (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carl has noticed that Luna is limping. He has also spent four days designing the perfect casual way to ask about it—a project with phases, rehearsals, and entirely unnecessary stakeholder management. A quiet episode about attention, vulnerability, and the four awkward words that matter more than getting them right.
On Doing the Frightening Thing in Your Least Impressive Expression (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is another section of the meadow. Carl has not visited it, despite maintaining an exceptionally well-crafted list of reasons why today is not the ideal day. When the list finally expires, Carl discovers that courage may have less to do with confidence than with going anyway—even if you briefly retreat from the sound of your own chewing.
On the Radical Discomfort of Telling the Truth to Grass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carl told Marcus the hay situation was “mostly resolved.” It was forty percent resolved at best. Now one generous adjective has occupied four days of mental real estate, forcing Carl to investigate the exhausting maintenance costs of small dishonesty—and discover why grass may be the meadow’s most reliable listener.
On What Comes After You Stop Fighting the Gate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carl is back in the meadow, where the gate is finally closed and the geese situation remains unresolved. But once you accept that you’re allowed to exist exactly as you are, another question appears: What are you going to do with all that being? A confused meditation on participation, imperfect practice, and becoming the kind of goat who shows up differently.
