Of the codified laws of nature, only one inscribes a direction to time: the dreaded second law of thermodynamics, which declares that the disorder of a closed system tends to increase as time passes.

This book is a collection of essays about living alongside animals and paying attention to what that closeness quietly changes. It is not a guide to grief, training, or healing, and it does not offer conclusions or lessons meant to travel neatly from one life to another. These pieces move through openness, guardedness, woundedness, steadiness, and imprint, tracing how different animals carry their histories in their bodies and how those histories shape the people who love them. Some arrived easy and stayed easy. Others required patience, structure, or vigilance.
