Being married to James I have come to have an appreciation for meadows and plains. The contrasts between the plains and the mountains is majestic. I find the vastness a little overwhelming, he finds them exhilarating. I suspect that there is a solid bit of pioneer in him.Budgets being what they are, here's hoping that wide open spaces remain as undeveloped as possible. Perhaps children like Lili and Cheli, ages 6 and 2, have a bit of pioneer about their soul and will be refreshed by open spaces in their future.
Open space makes me breathe deeper, stand straighter. There is nothing like it. Most city people have never experienced its magnificence.
ReplyDeleteThe last few days have brought a bit of that to us in the city. Pretty lucky.
