ONE DOWN

Are you paying attention?
The light this morning. It doesn’t get much better than that. Like a literal film light leak, splayed out across the eastern sky. I pulled over three different times and retraced my steps back and forth trying to find just the right angle to see it as it was.
I left the car running.
I left the window down.
I left the music on and it happened again.
One Down by Slaughter Beach, Dog played through the speakers.
Magic.

”One Down” by Slaughter Beach, Dog

The trees are bare
I breathe the air
I hold it down real deep
Before I let it out

The trees aren’t bare, they’re in bloom. The light leak looks like the sun taking a breath, holding it deep and letting it out. The smallest moments are the biggest ones in hindsight and I’ve got to collect them all. One Down.
