When Winter Comes South
Winter doesn’t so much arrive in Florida as it drifts in like a rumor—soft, uncertain, apologetic about the inconvenience. The palm fronds never quite lose their green; the sky doesn’t bruise itself into snow clouds; the cold only lingers long enough to make you question whether you imagined it. But every year, sometime after Thanksgiving, the air shifts. It smells different—cleaner, sharper, like citrus peeled open too fast. And that’s when the ritual begins.

Sand and Soil
A Memoir by Stetson Glass I’ve started to think the soul is shaped like a map—creased, torn, smudged by the fingers that keep trying to fold it back into something neat. I’ve spent most of my life tracing routes someone else drew for me: church aisles, chalk-lined classrooms, marriage vows, griefs disguised as callings. Now I’m learning to redraw it—not to find my way back, but to understand where I got lost.
