Amelia travels the road again
The air smells of music with a taste of sun
Golden road rhythm and fresh sky for breakfast
Amelia drives north seeking a mirror
where to finally look at the naked reflection
of her true eyes
her many highlights
shadows
Midday bright drums and a dash of coffee for lunch
Amelia controls the speed
Eager to arrive does not want to rush
Spring blossoms and harmony afternoon tea
Flat tire
Unexpected rain
Dinner with moonlit village
A dance to the fire of a pleasant rest
Amelia is heading north

sounds like she is on a journey..it is a balance as well between the want to arrive but not to steal the magic of the journey to get there as well..even that flat tire is an opportunity to pause and take it all in….

Good use of the 3rd person in this one. I like the idea of not rushing the journey to get at the destination–not something I always remember to do.

Oh I do so like this. Thank you for sharing…

I like very much the twist and turns of always making the best out of the small disasters… a lot of wisdom in your writing.

Hi Adriana I like how you have sectioned the trip, very clever and I felt a clear sense of the journey.

I love that the music is on and off the road, that it leads to every stop and makes her want to linger and not.

the smell of music and the taste of sun – I love how you mixed the senses around, and yet I really like the idea of being able to smell and taste things that you normally hear and feel/see.
