I am looking for familiarity in the same places. In trails, hills and roads I search for
something I know. The landscape is perpetually changing. Sometimes I return to
several inches of snow and other times I come back to corn flooding the fields, or fallen
branches hiding deer tracks. Cords of wood go unattended and unused; tree lines are
trimmed by icy storms.
Surprises are revealed by changes in the landscape but many things will always be the
same. The smell of dirt coated cars, berry bushes staining my legs in the same places,
melted ice turns to slush over and over . Traces of life remain everywhere but the
search for my home continues.
