it’s friday, and i’ve got 5 minutes.
do you?
the harpeth, may 2010
summer oh ten. a year rewound to a different world. hours south in a raw, flooded land, we floated a memory-al day away.
the trees held trash and the rocks sighed relief, the storm had passed and the young ones brought joy - the loud, rambunctious, canoe-flipping kind only measured in straw hats and sunburn.
we spotted a secret waterfall and left our boats to hunt and dive. rented or not, this was worth every hot, sharp rock step. no slips. no slides. just summer.
i look back and wish we’d never found our way out.
