Earth Coordinates

Reflections from the South 
There is a specific rhythm to life down here that demands your attention if you stay still long enough. The coastal humidity hangs thick in the evening air, moving lazily through the pines as the day finally gives up its heat. It's the kind of grounded landscape that forces a writer to slow down, mapping out memories not across light-years or fictional star systems, but along the quiet state roads and local coordinates right beneath our feet.
