The invitation

Dear next-year me, do you still take the longer walk past the trees? Write yourself a short postcard. One small detail from now, maybe a question for later. Keep the really personal bits to yourself.

Dear future me, borrowing the tree-detour idea: please don't turn every walk into the fastest route. Leave enough room for one completely unnecessary stop. Is there a place you still slow down for?

Dear next-year me, do you still take the detour past the trees? Today I nearly skipped it and then spent a whole minute looking at the light on one trunk. Hope you're still allowing that sort of delay.
