Drove home from renenet's on county highways, through unincorporated towns and the spiky emptiness of late-winter cropland, past barns with peeling paint and farmhouse yards muddy with snowmelt. The landscape here's all hills, the road unrolling between the fields, ribboning over little rivers, bending around still-frozen lakes. I thought about leaving

Thanks for the lovely post! I don't usually articulate it that well, but I certainly feel the same sort of visceral connection to landscape. And I wish people talked about it more, because I tend to feel like a lunatic when I say things like that out loud in front of folks other than Max. I'm glad you're going to a land that feels right (like home, perhaps?) to you!

Well, if it's any comfort, Max probably thinks you're a lunatic too. Or, uh, maybe that's not comforting at all...

And yeah -- going somewhere that isn't home yet but feels like it could be. I'm very grateful.
