And That's the Way it Was--Is--Might Have Been
Northererners who get stuck in the South sometimes feel out of place enough to let others know of their puzzlement at being a "stranger in (so called) paradise." As a misplaced North I also reflect from time to time on what has become the joyful exestence of being a pilgrim in every location I have lodged and shortsightedly have called home. The result is a mix of the mundane, the morose, the mindless and the merry all stated in 12 point Georgia awaiting review, rebuttal, always revision, and even, if rarely, affirmation. I commend whatever might follow to you fellow sojourners with the hope that your gentle hearts and minds will rejoice with me in the journey. After all, for now, the journey is our home.

Wayne, what about "easterners" (i.e. from the U.K.) who "get stuck in the South"? That is my experience (after living for 36 years in the Midwest).
ReplyDeleteThe southern accent (I know, I'm the one with the accent around here) is beginning to charm me.
I too have finally lodged into the place where I am at home wherever I am -- and enjoy the infinite variety culture offers.
Still on journey.
