I'...I know what you mean about feeling rootless. I've lived in 4 states since 2003, and even though I love Massachusetts, and don't want to move anymore, I always feel like I might have to move again. I hope it goes away. <br /><br />Are you doing NaPoWriMo this year?Valerie Lovelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309299429765944601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-6215055823842235642010-03-31T11:29:19.206-04:002010-03-31T11:29:19.206-04:00i did my undergrad work in Greensboro and it is a ...i did my undergrad work in Greensboro and it is a lovely city.<br /><br />i know it will be a while but i'm pretty excited about this non-fiction book you are writing :) keep at it!Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-20757066323629412342010-03-31T05:20:49.646-04:002010-03-31T05:20:49.646-04:00It's funny what you say about loneliness, like...It's funny what you say about loneliness, like you answer your own question in the statement, you are loneliest at your busiest. That's why it's so important to slow down take a deep breath and get out of the city. Even if you can only get out of the city in your head, everyone needs a break. It is too fast, the air is dirty, people are self consumed, it is a false picture of nature. We are meant to live beautiful lives outdoors, walking through streams, watching the sunset from the rim of a mountain range. So many people don't go outside anymore, just listening to the TV drone on for days. They forget to listen to the waves break, and run barefoot along the wet sandy beach. If you don't listen to your heart it is sure to break. Take a trip into the forest and look for a pond or glen or glade. Then you will find there in the shade, the relief from the stress of which you knew your life was never made. It is just good to feel like that sometimes, even if we live such fast paced busy lives. Hope this picture of a little brook brightens your rainy day, and the blogging world of poets look forward to what you have to say. Touché, enjoy your beautiful day.ErikWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820606588096248030noreply@blogger.com
