On Finding
Becoming Coherent, and Feeling the Passage of Jays Through Time
An essay on becoming coherent and feeling the passage of jays through time. Finding, here, is the experience of alignment arriving — the moment scattered parts of a life fall into phase and something long sought is suddenly present. It attends to the felt signature of that event, the sense of a trace passing through, and treats it as evidence that coherence is not merely an idea but something that can be noticed as it happens. It pairs with On Searching, which precedes it in spirit: where that essay follows the pull onward, this one describes the arrival the pull was for.
Read it immediately after On Searching, which it answers: that essay follows the pull onward, this one describes the arrival the pull was for. Its subject is the felt signature of coherence clicking into place — a specific, recognizable experience the essay tries to name precisely rather than leave as a vague sense of things going right.
