Even the wastelands awed me with their scale. And the animals and the people - all had a tenacity of spirit that drew me in and wouldn't let go. I can understand Hillerman's sentiment completely.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100999113439449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264626299434162172.post-45009160656477285162008-02-13T15:49:00.000-07:002008-02-13T15:49:00.000-07:00...the great vacancy between Albuquerque and Roswe...<I>...the great vacancy between Albuquerque and Roswell...</I><BR/><BR/>Hey! This where I <I>live!</I> Kinda-sorta. Just a few (hundred) clicks north of Alien-ville, anyway...<BR/><BR/>Hillerman might be on to something when he speaks of the conjunction between the urge to write and the great vast emptiness of my adopted land. I'm gonna ponder <I>that</I> a lil bit today. But then again, I'm somewhat removed from the Great Vastness coz I live in the city (P-ville... a <I>city?</I> It IS to laugh!). Lin might have more and better input in this space.<BR/><BR/>Once again, Sharon...thanks for these quotes.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
