here
here: a father and daughter giggle and chatter and dance to music he grew up on while i gather up the pieces of all that will be and choose to trust what i know.
yesterday: waiting between gates 12 and 14, she dances and giggles and bops her head while i sing more than 30 rounds of "old mcdonald" and think about how three generations really can travel across the country together very well as long as there is plenty of apple juice and singing.
the day before: alone in my eagle's nest home away from home, adele sings while i move across the floor with my arms raised and my voice loud and my feet turning in circles until the music until the movement until i rewrite the story i have been playing for much too long and find myself regrounded and renewed.

Deep sigh here, and a tear or two. So beautiful. I think I'm going to try on number three for myself asap. Then more poeming it out. And then some more.
Love the image of the eagle's nest. Enjoy home.
enjoying this reflection of your return home. apple juice and singing, eagle's nest home, rewriting the story...love it all.
