Michele's Story
Life
Life? It goes on and never stops. I am not where I expected to be. It was supposed to be huband, house, kids, pets, etc...you know. Well, I have the house with a view of the water and mountains that gives me peace and solace and the pets remind me that I am needed and loved on a daily basis. As for the husband I miss him deeply sometimes, but the years are doing thier job. The wounds are merely scars that one only gets to see if I let you get that close.

In Argentina the best times were spent on the river alone, talking to the wind about my troubles, my fears and my dreams. Patagonia is a land so vast, quiet and empty sometimes that one can truly feel like the last person on earth. I found some strange comfort in that. Perhaps it was best getting away from the poorly conceived sentiments of sympathy that tend to tumble from peoples mouths. Some time later I drove to Texas and back with my dog. I took 4 weeks and grew.
Perhaps I will write more later, when I have the time.
