It was a pleasure to read this, @popurri. Not only is your piece well organized and articulated, but the joy you felt in nature comes through in your writing. This truly was, and is, an avocation for you. How wise you mother was, those years ago, when she let you come home the long way.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, @popurri. Thank you for supporting other writers in the community with your comments.
That's right, my mother allowed me to follow my instinct and that need to be in contact with nature I feel stronger and stronger. I think we should all dedicate at least several minutes a day to this exchange.
Thank you very much @theinkwell for your comment always so accurate.
Greetings and blessings
