As I say in the recording, which you can find embedded in this post, or in the podcast section, this was written during one of the 5 things prompts I assign during Essay Camp. I experimented with putting this into verse as a poem, but in the end decided to present it this way.
That is so beautiful, and made me think of past lovers with a smile. There's a beautiful Carly Simon song with the line 'Do the walls come down when you think of me, do your eyes grow dim'. Always makes me smile.
Not only was this beautiful and stirring, as in you stirred my imagination, but you motivated me to think in a different way and I want to go and write. Thank you so much!

Not enough heart emojis to express how much I love this. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Summer
What a beautiful way to wake up. Somewhere the ghost of Virginia Woolf is shaking her head and muttering with a touch of envy, "Damn, she's good."
This has me swimming in the ocean of the past remembering so many fine details that I haven't thought of in decades. Beautiful.
Oh, this is so beautiful. And the first thing I read when I woke up this morning. Thank you! What a lovely way to start the day.
This is the most lovely writing I have read in a while. Maybe ever.
Summer, this is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. Reminds me of someone I was always going to love forever...
