on the way home

On my way home through the whispering palms of South Carolina, where the breeze carries the scent of sun-warmed earth and the distant hum of cicadas, I pause under the ancient fronds. This isnt just any walk home its the quiet triumph of a day well-lived, the kind where the world feels a little slower, a little sweeter. Im not just standing here Im standing proud, a human anchor in a landscape thats more than just scenery. Its the proud guardian of a wild, furry secret I cant quite share yet a creature thats part of my heartbeat, part of my soul, and the reason Im smiling even as Im pausing to let the light catch the curve of my shoulder. South Carolinas beauty isnt just in the palms its in the quiet moments, the proud stillness, the unspoken bond between a person and the little wild thing thats made this journey home even more worth it.
