Rabbit Trail #6 || The telling of it is important.

I love and have always loved the exploration of… some journey from, through, around, up or down someplace.

This is why the book is called “Inner Immigrant”. It begs the question,

What landscape and terrain reflects your life?

What filled/fills the landscape in these different parts of your life? Is there quicksand, beautiful flowers, trees, springs and alligators? How would you write or paint this? Play around with it.
