First Year In The Valley

She quit smoking and began running to teach her lungs how to process oxygen as they seemed to have forgotten. Being in recovery she was trying to be helpful anywhere anyhow. She stood on the Tower Bridge watching the starlings flit and spiral around the golden verts, exploding in color, showing their bellies to river and sky. Thinking back on her first year in the valley.   #katyamills  1.10.2024

love. circling

we rode our bikes across the bridge. on windy days we stopped to watch the starlings fly down off the supports, hundreds of them circling in unison. traversing land, sky and water. it was here where, what felt like a hundred years ago, we fell in love.
