Today

I found an old book

on my shelves

I opened the pages

and smelled the smells

and for a moment

my mind forgot its place and time

as I walked into a cabin

so many miles and years away—

there was a fire on

and the kettle played its tune.

The sun was shining

and my family was there

waving me down to the beach—

I can’t tell you

how incredible it is

to be there now

writing to you

from the cabin of my youth.
