You were right there with me one year! That was my last trip to camp. What were we? 13? 14?! What was the tattoo?! Damn I wish I figured myself out as fast as you did.
It wasn't an easy thing to be trapped with, but camp that year was definitely a turning point for me. I wish we had been brave enough to better communicate during that time.
Oh and the tattoo is or at least was a sunset between mountains with a lake and reminiscent of those camp nights as well as my forever song "Get Out The Map" from the Indigo Girls "Shaming of the Sun". And album/song, which I discovered with you and ChristyD that summer and last night at camp.
Lovely.
The life you gave Gibson is something that should sustain you forever.
It’s gotten me through a lot
I think of that ceremony so often. My (now very aged and awful looking) back tattoo was inspired because of one of those ceremonial evenings. 💞

I can’t tell you how touched I am reading this, not just for sharing a memory with someone there but I forgot that song memory 🖤
One day, we should carve out some time to actually get on a phone and chat like old people.
that sounds lovely!
What a beautiful piece of poetry again. I could see the candles right in front of me!
What a beautiful piece...My heart hurts to learn that Gibson has passed, but I know he will always be with you...Mary and I send our love...
thanks darling! My love to you both.
thank you! Still here, somehow!
