"What I say is, a town isn’t a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it’s got a bookstore, it knows it’s not foolin’ a soul." Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color.”

Everything we do.

Every adventure we go on.

Every breeze, every sunset, every moment, it’s all for him.

For the dog who got me through the hardest days of my life. For the dog who was with me for all the best days too.

For the dog who helped shaped my love for getting outside. The dog I followed down every trail, chased so many sunsets and everything in between.

Thank you, Xander. I’ll miss you for the rest of my life. But I’ll keep adventuring because of you and for you.

You’ll be with me on every trail, in every breeze, in the sunset and the sunrise.

I love you. ❤️‍🩹

“A welcoming light

waits alone

on treacherous shores,

beckoning with lambent fingers

through overcast skies,

a symbol of hope—

defying the uncertainty

of turbulent times

to guide the lost home.”

“In the first week of April the weather turned suddenly unseasonably, insistently lovely. The sky was blue, the air warm and windless, and the sun beamed on the muddy ground with all the sweet impatience of June.”
