I went to Duxbury Beach, a place of formative family experiences, to have a driftwood fire honoring my deceased parents. My father passed a few years ago; my mom a few months. Grief, along with contracting Covid, had rendered me mired in creative inertia. Imagining my mother's persistent encouragement, I brought my camera. After a curative and invigorating fire at sunset, capped with a Snowy Owl sighting, I opened my car trunk to place the driftwood collected for student art projects and discovered my forgotten about camera! Thanks, Mom.
