back at sewanee


and it's peaceful.

tonight, i visited my beloved fire tower for the first time since i've been back. the first time in a long time. it's an old, abandoned fire tower on the edge of the cumberland plateau looking down off to south pittsburg and chattanooga. sunrises. sunsets. stars.

and wind.
and sometimes you just need the wind to blow everything off of you, to leave room for the new. or maybe to blow the things that linger on the surface deeper inside, to make room for new things that will just continue to be a part of who you are. i think for me right now, some of both is going on.
