Ali, a picture and a few words can take us so many wonderful places! You do this effortlessly and touch so many when you share it. Thank you, my friend. 🙏💜
Oh my, does this take me back! An afternoon with someone very special … probably the summer after 9th grade? One afternoon he drove the curving Texas roads between Cuero and Nixon … I still recall the elation of knowing it’d be just the two of us, no one monitoring or interrupting! What a high that was. What a lift to see it in your poem all these decades later!
Jazz, what a wonderful memory. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with me. Freedom to roam is such a gift. I am re-experiencing it now and appreciate it more than ever.
