I thought I had insomnia. Waking every single morning at 4, with a sudden and very real urge to run at top speed in a field while screaming. I thought something was wrong. And then I remembered that I was born to write. To write and to write and to write. And I don't have insomnia at all. I just have bones filled with forgotten and ignored words; marrow thick with silenced stories. And at 4:02 this morning, I finally asked myself, "What if I finally just set them free?"
I camped here when I was three years old. It looks exactly the same, except the trees are so much taller now. 🌲#gardellawildlife
I could stare for ten lifetimes and still I'm certain my heart would ache. Every freckle. Every eyelash. Every tiny wisp of hair. The folds of her wrists. The smell of her blankey... 🌿
The feeling of standing under a full circle rainbow around the sun is pretty magical. If I could hug this moment I totally would.
