Finally.....
This paragraph caught my attention while I was devouring yet another novel and I had to share it with my blog readers (all 3 of you). It goes along with what my dad was getting at when he wanted me to write about WHY I love life “up north”.
“….the farther south she went, the better she felt. She remembered the Judy was very attached to her hometown in California, and had told her once about something called land memory. Either you have it or the land does, Mary had never been completely sure, but the bottom line was that you felt best on the land that you and your family grew up on, and in time you made it your own. And no matter what happened to you or the land, you still felt best there. Standing on it. Being there.”
Moment of Truth by Lisa Scottoline, Harper Collins Publishers, 2000. pg 79
Post a comment and let me know what you think. Is it in us, or in the land?
