What an atmospheric piece, Jim. I really enjoyed it. Your descriptions brought me into the scene with you (or the narrator). The line, “We carry our destruction inside us wherever we go” stands out to me because it’s true, and I’d never heard anything framed like that. Thanks for sharing this!
I felt as if I were floating on air, on water, on fragrance through this entire delightful piece. You created a beautiful setting here of physical, visual and olfactory treats. “If the moon was closer,” he said, “you would run there. But it wouldn’t matter. We carry our destruction inside us wherever we go.” And isn't that the sad truth. It cannot be outrun. Thank you, Jim.
“We carry our destruction inside us wherever we go.” Ain’t that the truth.
You can’t un-destroy something, but you can clean up the debris, build something new, and move on.
