I wake before the sun does, before the kids’ eyes flap open and look at the world anew in wonder, and I greet the day with my words.
We are in quarantine, and it’s starting to get to me - the lack of control, not knowing what our future holds, staying still - but right now, in this moment, I come to a magical realization.
I can leave anytime I want.
I’m a storyteller. With words, I can go anywhere. I can venture deep into forests, sit at a quaint cafe in Italy, or stand at the white tips of the ocean.
So I wake early and I go. And I stay there as long as I want.
