Very telling. Seems every small town has it's contingent of those who escape and those who embrace 'it'. I'm an escapee and have always be 'grateful' as well.<BR/><BR/>Bon Chance!Bon vivanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331793017236964459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628472762648213203.post-57882834969804443282008-10-02T14:14:00.000-04:002008-10-02T14:14:00.000-04:00I like your blog.

Our poet friend, roseanne was here this summer to house sit for Claudia and write. She lived in Spokane at one point in her young adulthood and found all her inspiration for poetry to be centered around the experience of the familiar while she was here. the smells and feeling she had memorized but nearly forgotton. The experiences with her young daughter and the way thing had been and still were and the specific vocabulary that embodied the Northwest. Capitalize on how "home" inspires you. Drink it in as if you had never noticed home before. Walking with Geo this week I looked up to the horizon and saw all the mountain ridges. "We forget to look at our own town with the bredth of scope that we veiw new places with dont we george?" I asked, "lets make an effort to look up and open our vision beyond an objects and into the panorama of our daily life" Sounds like you are doing the same.<BR/>kisses<BR/>ShannAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628472762648213203.post-26470418194149125592008-09-30T13:44:00.000-04:002008-09-30T13:44:00.000-04:00Very evocative post.
