Earth Day. Those words take me back to Enid, OK. where our family lived in an old farm house on Maine St. At that time our kids were in grade school & middle school, and it was a pretty quiet time. Except for the alcoholic need to be always planning the next big project, next move, next place where life would be "perfect". We read Mother Earth News, talked for hours about moving to Canada to farm, grew vegetables in the back yard, canned and made jelly and jam, baked the bread we ate and lived in a perpetual state of transience. There was never a real sense that we belonged. Or were building a home or life that we would stay in. It has taken me years to overcome that time of confusion. I've moved a few times since then, but these moves have been with a sense of purpose and a plan. I know now that "place" will not give me a sense of safety or belonging. Those ideas come from my confidence in who I am and what I have to offer. I belong right where I am at this moment. And where I am is good! --Donna
