Maybe she’s out there eating the peach right off the tree. Maybe she’s getting good sun with the thyme and the rosemary; maybe the air is full and fragrant, and the impositions of the day appear as dim and immaterial as twilight itself: a fading into nothing. Maybe the wind carries her worries with it. Maybe she’s standing with her feet in the forewater, realizing that the ocean has countless beginnings — is all new beginnings. Maybe she’s thinking that the wave exists only on the brink of its own rebirth.
Please try again later; she is changing like the sand beneath her.
A Note.
I am devastated by the news of the Texas floods and Camp Mystic over the weekend. I cannot imagine the grief; holding a space for those families and communities. If you have thoughts on how to support relief efforts, please share in the comments. I find World Central Kitchen a great organization to support in crises like this.
