the sun seeps through your eyelids as you wake from your slumber. you’re six again. you skip out to the backyard garden where your mom is watering the gardenia bushes in the warmth of the late morning. the metallic hose water scents the air as you search for worms in the damp soil. yup, they’re still there. the bees are buzzing, the snails are slithering, the birds are singing. check, check, check. you reach out to pluck a ripe cucumber and head back to your rocking chair inside the screened-in porch. feet propped up on a bag of mulch, your tiny nostrils take a whiff- green leaves, new blooms, soaked soil. this is your happy place and you can always come back here.
