my last couple days, like much of georgia, were spent without power. like surprise camping. i made food and coffee over an open fire and read by candlelight. i broke in the hatchet my love gave me for my birthday, which was day one of the outage (and the day i was supposed to release a music video). i wrote a country song on my acoustic. i sat in the stillness and watched the light flicker around me.
if you expect to be defeated, you will lie down and die and be defeated. i watch as so many people around me lay down. i can’t make everything better, but at least i try.
