Being an in the womb feminist, I had to teach myself I was not betraying anything to love the look of strawberries in a blue bowl. The sunlight on a stainless pan making rainbows in the sun. The pleasure of putting a kitchen right after a wonderful meal. Your post reminds me a bit of Wallace Steven's "Sunday Morning."

That is...I did not want that golden moment to end. That is how I feel about your writing. Oh, I yearn for some sort of book that I can pick up, and see the words written so luxuriously yet simply there, just stacked like those dishes. Your world lures me in, and I never want my connection to you to stop. Is it safe to say, that I am living vicariously as a voyeur, not stalking one bit, just enjoying glimpses of another life. <br />I like your vagabond state of living each moment, settling in, making a home from all your travels.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-35028725779868132282010-03-23T06:13:55.527-07:002010-03-23T06:13:55.527-07:00Great post and It was like being there with you.
