Ten.Two Thousand, Two Hundred & Fifty-Four

1. Last day of camp.

2. Last-minute stop for donuts before the long ride over.

3. I set down my bags and lay a blanket on the grass, bees buzzing on clover, a gentle breeze blowing through the vines creeping along the building walls, pretending I am somewhere else. Pretending I am someone else.

4. “Art is about the maker. It’s aim: to be an expression of who we are.” - The Creative Act: A Way of Being

5. Or, I could just not have them.

6. Today is a much better day. The nerves have worn off, I think.

7. Someone says it smells like pasta. “I think that’s sweat.”

8. Sunday Scaries.

9. My head feels so much lighter.

10. One week.
