(insert witty tagline here)

summer wears rough on a simple pair of shoes. the on and off, sand and sea. the sweat and sprints from bike to bay. my sandals start to quake somewhere around albuquerque. - i’m driving with intention leaning hard towards fiery - a crack opens up along the new madrid fault, and my driving foot rests numb in the rubble.

and so i’m running barefoot through the final month of summer. running hard and resting long in the tall tickling grass.

august finds me tired.

and august finds me brave.

and maybe just crazy enough to imagine augustus himself has approved my request, for a month off, to live a bit of life untethered, or rather find the things worth tethering to -

if the ties take, i’ll be back in september, with new shoes and new words to share.

may this video hold my place in the book of internet you’re reading until i return:

that noise at the end is the one i will make when my wits and words return again.

may your august live up to its name – lofty and hallowed and just a bit too grand for its britches.
