Love this post Tommy. I’ve thought before about how much I’d love to take some time and capture as many stories I can remember as possible, all those little things that depart from memory until, one day, we see a picture or smell a smell or catch some glimpse that brings us right back to that most magical experience—that state of being we once embodied—we had somehow forgotten about. Sometimes they all tie together, sometimes it seems like they don’t. But that doesn’t make them any less special, nor does it mean that they don’t tie together at all… it might mean simply that we don’t yet see how it all ties together… that the story is not yet over!

Wow, the imagery in these stories is incredible:

“Nothing to light my way but a pale moon and a riot of crisp and glittering autumn stars above.”

“Waves began to crash into each other, foamy and white, the unapologetic midday sun scorched the surface of everything it saw”

Love the theme of life in inches. Really well done!
