Cool Springs

The trees are young, their branches reaching a little higher each season. You notice them as you walk — the quiet comfort of a neighborhood settling into itself, little by little.

The trail bends, and you pass ponds that catch the light, open green space where the air feels wider, and a pool where families drift in on warm evenings. You hear the splash, the laughter, the easy rhythm of neighbors unwinding together. It doesn’t feel staged.

And as you walk back, you realize this is not a distant description. This is a place you can feel under your feet, hear in the voices around you, and see in the way the neighborhood is quietly becoming itself.
