Poof — Clementine and Sage

I’m feeling that feeling
Like I’ve blown the head
Off of a dandelion -
There was a wish in the
Breath and then,
Poof - all those seeds in
The wind.

And maybe that’s why I did it,
In the end - closed my eyes and
Exhaled - so I couldn’t keep
Holding on to something that
So desperately wanted to fly.

Last Sunday, I officially closed up the shop. Emotions ran high - there were tears and grins in equal measure - and then it was done. Eric made us some sourdough pretzels, so we ate more than well, and the day ended softly.

I didn’t know if I would, but a week out I can officially say I feel at peace. And from here I begin again.
