's message, "Re: moon shadows" on 14:06:46 12/29/00 Fri
Thank you for your post, I was feeling kind of down when I wrote moon shadows and it was for a little bit. I spend yesterday with my sons, and they are growing into men now, each with their own way of doing things. It came to me it is the natural passage of life, and they are reaching out to far places and doing some things I could not do.
I guess in a way I see them as an extension of myself, and they are now working, going to school and starting a couple of them on their families. My daughter is going to Utah State this next quarter and she is excited to be going there. Two of her brothers are going there and working, they have a house and have made it s home, and since she is going up there it will be good for all of them to be together.
I have been thinking about home, going home and am working toward that end. I will be there for New Year's and plan on visiting around the community dropping in here and there.
Will be eating stew and taking a long look around. Yes, I can smell the coffee and feel the heat from the wood stove. Thanks for the post...rustywire

j rustywire- I like the image of you going home, eating stew and taking a long look around. What is home? I remember growing up in a physical building-calling this place "home" and, later, as I went to college, "home" telescoped and distanced into a Wisconsin town I visited on the weekends. Many years, many wanderings, many apartments, one husband and two daughters later, I accumulate the realization my external dwellings are a direct mirror of the values I hold within-my hardwon banked hearth of heartfire. I like that our children inherit our values- questioning, tempering, discarding and pruning them with the seasonings of their own unique life experiences. And...I like that we have strong, clean, honorable values to share with our children! Such a journey this is! jude
