Reminds me of San Pablo CA. We left there dodging bullets in '93. It's sad that life has changed so much from the good old days when cities were a bit calmer and people a bit warmer and doors didn't need locks to feel safe "at home".

This gets closer and closer to home, for me. Horrifying. It's good for you to point it out. |

Absolutely superb. Your use of beautiful language and elemental references brings about the stark sting of irony so well in this piece...a very well crafted bit of writing. Thank you... ~ Claire |

WildChild, Reminds me of San Pablo CA. We left there dodging bullets in '93. It's sad that life has changed so much from the good old days when cities were a bit calmer and people a bit warmer and doors didn't need locks to feel safe "at home". Well Shawna, I just listened to one of Paul Simon's oldies (60's) and he's singing about New York and how he just got out in a nick of time. Gald you got out though. kaleidoscope, Glad you liked. Claire, nice to see you in my little corner, and I'm honored for such compliments. I do hope your musings are in the meadows. This piece of work came about while I was reading some of (Henry Thoreau) who wrote... "I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, to front out the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not a life; living is so dear." But I was taken so aback by the way life is today that I had to write of it. |
