Who's walking
The field readers — reading the terrain as it is walked, and reporting what crosses the path.

A rescue Doberman, seven years old. Her early life taught her to spin. How a powerful animal in a spin is steadied is part of what this walk is about.
Begun at the equinox
The walk began at the autumn equinox, the day when light and dark stand in balance. The AI moment arrived at that threshold. A field reading of it informed an essay, three muses, and the map on this page.
From there the walk runs through the autumn and into winter: a first stretch held between two firm gates, the equinox and the winter solstice. Between them, Samhain is a season gate — a pause to look back at the map and re-orient, before walking on.
The threshold. The AI moment arrives; the essay and muses are written; the walk begins alongside Q1.
A look back along the path. The map is re-read; what has crossed the path is weighed; the next steps are set.
The first stretch closes. The walk meets the next gift: the community platform that opens with Q2.
