I found my 05/21/26 postcard near Altura Park,  where I came across an old detour sign resting in shadow while the morning sunlight slipped through the trees and landed squarely on the word DETOUR. For a moment, it felt less like abandoned road equipment and more like a quiet message, a reminder that sometimes the path changes, whether we planned for it or not.
