      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Preface

      "We are scattered like breadcrumbs,

      Blowing,

      In alleys and paths."

      Left by our creator, molded, and shaped by our ancestors

      To find our way home."

      I am just a girl digging deep, working hard, committed, and doing my best to walk through this life, love God and other humans along the way.

      I only seek validation from within, and above.

      I am enjoying the ageing process with gratitude and rising above fear.

      I am sprinkling my own breadcrumbs for future generations

      To learn to live their best life.

      Dedication

      For Lillian, Abigail, and Edward
