You can't go Home again.

or rather, you can but it just won't be the same.
you'll feel older.
your time will seem unquestionably precious.
the family will still love you.
and for the most part big events remain the same.
but towns change.
as does all.
the old dino put-put course where you never played has become an empty lot.
the big beautiful field you'd never fully noticed now houses brand new sets of suburban row homes.
the streets will be of broader size.
the skyline a completely different shape.
the faces unfamiliar.
and the experience unlike any you'd known while dying to get out.
but the backyard.
the backyard.
will shine its summer sun-drenched splendor as only backyards can.
peace sun.
whole spirit rays.
life confirmation, it's all gonna be ok, sun.
three and a half days is not enough.
in arkansas.
for me.
i want more time with family, life blood, outdoors, friends.
i want more time at home.
