Newsletter March 2026
Hello from Gothenburg, Sweden.
There’s a shift in the air as a new season starts to creep in.
For me, March always feels like a month of change, no matter where you are in the world.
Forest Awakening at Pixbo
Moss carpets the ground,
Trees sprout tender new buds.
The forest stirs again
After hiding through winter.
I spot a deer—
It flees as I approach.
A short walk refreshes me,
Fresh air fills my lungs.
I know the new season has begun.
