Observations from wherever I am.

I’m Dirk-Jan. I write these Field Notes — small stories, observations and reflections. Often here. Sometimes elsewhere. Mostly about life doing its thing.

What this is

A place for Field Notes — small stories from life as it’s happening.
Things I notice, and what they might be telling me about me, life… and the world.

Why I’m doing this

I write these down so they don’t just float around in my head.
And I share them because they might be worth passing on — useful, enjoyable, or both.

About the Field Notes

Most are short. Some are more reflective.
There’s no schedule — just when something feels worth writing down.

Maybe they offer a small pause — a moment to slow things down, look a little closer, and notice what’s under the everyday noise.
And see what shows up.
