    About this ebook

    Everything starts somewhere, but so often we overlook that turning point in the path, that initial step that'll forever influence our lives to come. Whether it passes by on silent wings, touching us in small ways, or gets right up in our face, a bull in our personal china shop, firsts are the occasions around which our worlds turn. Is it any surprise that the stories born from them are some of the most poignant anyone can tell?

    Some Things - Perspective can be the difference between something simple and an expression of true love.
    An Eagle and a Broken Heart - Some meetings aren't as bad as one expects them to be
    Freedom’s Dream - Adulthood, and the ancient ritual that accompanies it, changes Yimar's life forever.
    The Pocket Conundrum - Mark's confusion at his missing pockets only deepens when he's handed an unopenable duffel bag.
    We All Drown Together - Some confrontations do nothing but hurt all involved.
    Of Hats, Heads, and Hearts - Grandparents tell the most wonderful stories, and occasionally, they're even true
    Family Photo - A secret kept from Carter comes to light after an unexpected discovery
    Fear the Horizon - Some storms alter more than just the humidity.
    But Honestly - Same day, same mechanical drudgery—until it isn't.
    Knowing Better - Getting lost in the music can be truly magical.

      Lost In The Weeds

      Aug 18, 2021

      BEFORE the pandemic, every spring I ventured outside and jerked up all the new dandelion, blackberry vines, and globes of white clover that dared invade our yard. Those trespassers encroached on more “worthy” species—the precious tufts of fescue, my
