‘You can’t go home again’
~ and yet here I am
This past year has been filled
with masks and distancing
isolating myself and Zooming
Walking on new paths around
a lake instead of by the ocean
Free reigning rabbits instead of deer, arrogant Canada geese instead of prideful peacocks
One year ago today
I turned over my apartment keys,
said good bye to friends new and old
to return to my prairie home to
renew, rebuild relationships with
precious family and dear friends.
“There is a kind of magicness about going far away
and then coming back all changed.”
