South

It is so fascinating to me the multiple meanings one word, phrase, concept can have. At the moment, South is on my mind.

It is South of here where my husband is, and South that my mood travels as I wile away the hours and the minutes and the ticking seconds.

South, the band's new album, will not load on my iTunes, as if rejecting my misplaced locale.

South, the band's first album, is my current motivating soundtrack as I write this.

South is where my hope lies in the weekends.

South (and West) is where my roots still live, though stretched out to the coast.

South is where my support lives, lifting me all the way to my dream, to the clouds, and all the way up North, where I sit now.
