July – Page 2 – Wonder Year: A journey to find enchantment every day

Day 204: Mother Nature

The face of God.

(In the middle of nowhere, Texas.)

And a past sport I was good at and LOVED. This season. When you’re young and in the middle of this you feel like it will last forever, can’t wait until the next best thing. Now, looking back, I could have lived in this season for longer. Much longer.

Day 202: When You Find What You Lose

The Universe/God is looking out for you. Happened to my mom, and worth noting and remembering. The world may feel like it is against you, but it is for you.

Day 200: Revisiting where his parents met

Day 199: Nick turns 34

And it’s funny how life cycles itself. When he turned 25, we floated in the pool, here at my parent’s, and he called off of work bc life didn’t get better than floating in the pool.

Day 198: Blue Light Glasses

To keep you from going blind in Zoom poetry workshops.

Day 197: Trying to Save a Bird

That ends up dying anyway. What is that instinct that doesn’t want it to die? The one that has you search for worms to smash and feed it?
