About Driftleaf

Driftleaf is a small online journal kept by Mira Halvorsen from Bergen, Norway. It has been running, in one form or another, since 2021.

A nature-walking journal — small notes from the forest paths. The pieces here are short, written by hand, and posted when they are ready rather than on any schedule.

About the author

Mira Halvorsen is the walker & plant amateur behind this site. The journal is not affiliated with any publication, brand, or commercial interest. It is a personal project that has, over the years, accumulated a small handful of regular readers.

About the writing

The pieces are first-person notes from a life of slow attention. They are not advice. They are not reviews. They are not the kind of content that the algorithms reward. They are what I want to read, written for the version of myself that wants to read it.

About this site

The site is hand-built. There are no trackers, no advertisements, and no email list. If you find something that resonates, the best thing you can do is leave a small piece of attention on it and come back when you have time for the next one.

If you want to write back, you can — quietly, by the small comment form at the foot of any post. I read everything. I do not always reply.
