Yazoo Softly Over: A Meditation on Rain, Blues, and Letting Go
It’s the opposite of a crash. It’s a settling .
Let’s sit with that phrase for a minute: Softly over.
May you not miss it just because it’s quiet.
So here’s to the Yazoo feeling. To the blues that don’t scream but settle in your bones. To whatever is softly passing over you right now—whether you’ve named it yet or not.
The Yazoo River doesn’t rush. It seeps, it curves, it floods the lowlands quietly. To say something moves “Yazoo softly over” is to describe a force that isn’t aggressive but is absolutely unstoppable. Like grief. Like the end of a long summer. Like the way a song you haven’t heard in ten years suddenly plays in a coffee shop, and for two minutes, you’re twenty years old again.
