I'm in love with this entire post. I like thinking about seeing... and about how what we see is described and/or interpreted. I also love the short sippet that arose about your childhood home/neighborhood. As I read it I also mentally walked the streets of my old neighborhood - which included a neighbor with a concentration camp # on her arm. Funny how I read and time-traveled (which I often think memory is) at the same time. I liked it. And I would love more.
I love this. Note to my student self: without winding visually toward the bricks, we wouldn’t get the important “I wish…” that lands us squarely in those themes of no return that are highlighted. What a great lesson.
My own sense of place is so difficult to write about and yet so necessary. Describing a personal moment in time is a good place to start. Thank you Bruce, for all that you do. Wonderful!
Pure gold, this is. Thank you. I'm loving learning from you. So rich, so clear.
Thanks, my friend!
I enjoyed this post and the descriptions of places. I lived in Wyoming and it captured the winter in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks Janette! I think you’d love Ehrlich’s Solace of Open Spaces.
