The creak of a screen door.
An Adirondack chair left warm from the afternoon sun.
Hydrangeas beginning to bloom.

A scattering of wildflowers.
Stars worn soft with time.
Not statements.

Because the things we carry with us are rarely the grand occasions.
More often, they are the quiet details that become part of the story.
