Listen to poem:

a university café a table at the threshold of my life paths fork in all directions loud the call of destiny while a bluesy piano song grinds the passing of time to a halt I always knew one day I would remember this very moment stalled at these very crossroads of my youth time standing still surreal I hang on to a feeling that’s curious and magical Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~TO BE YOUNG AGAIN~ 2023 Read on air by invitation ~ June 23, 2021 'WORDS & MUSIC' AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on April 23, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (APR 24) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on March 2, 2020

Thanks, Julie. I was lucky enough to take a sabbatical from work to back back to finish my BA~ I even lived on campus for that one year. How I treasured every moment!
