My Place

I'm fairly certain of what my place will be. An old drainage tunnel through the creek by my
home. I remember it vividly, it was the place were in many ways i grew up. i spent many daysas a child there with my best friend. I realized a few years ago when i was older how strange it felt to see children that were surely the age that i was when i first began to frequent the place. It was then that i realized that it wasn't simply the emotional connects that i held to the place that made it special. It was in and of itself something that drew people to it. My grandma grew up where i did. And my mother and her sisters. If i need a history of it and the power that it had to move people surely i could find it from them. I'm looking forward to reviewing my childhood and perhaps find a child me in that somehow i had lost.

  1. I used to play in a old drainage tunnel as a kid too. Sometimes I would hide in it when cars were coming and the vibrations and sounds were so cool.

    I found out why you have not followers. Your blog address is on the wrong blogpost on my blog. Copy your address on the blog posting that says "paste your address here." That should help!
