I'm a glimmers gal from way back. They come in all sizes, but this time of year I'm particularly glimmered by small ones, like birds' nests and eggshells, which occasionally fall from my neighborhood trees and land in the yard. Tiny shoots of spring flowers, who could resist them? Yesterday I got caught in a petal storm, the kind that happens when wind shakes cherry trees and blows their blossoms everywhere. Right now everyone needs more glimmers, in all ways. Also, can we maybe start using "glimmer" as a verb? As in, "Thanks for the birthday text, it glimmered me so much!"

Hi Liz! I’m an Austin-based writer headed out on a solo trip next weekend! It’s been three years since my last trip, I am so overdue! Loved your essay!
