Sometimes that sort of stuff works great, but then if it has certain things or people in the pics, I get too sad wishing for those days again.

You've grasped a big part of it, too. Thank you, dear friend.

Hugs,

Jan

The Dream
Graeme Edge
© 1967



When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.

Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness springs new hope, born of leaves decaying.

Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure

Gives in return a wonderous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.

i am so sorry that you are hurting so much..please lean on us and we'll help you through this hard time......jan.....i live in the country....i would never be able to send you the beautiful sounds of nature..but if you would like i can take some pictures for you through the seasons and send them to you...i live close enough to farms that i could go to them and take pics....

(((((((Jan))))))))

I hear you too. I'm scared about moving closer to city myself too. I wish that you could come and live in the house that I am leaving. Someone should be here who would appreciate the location, with neighbors but not too close, and room for nature, and the fruit trees, and space for animals.

It scares me that so many people are having to give that up and it is becoming out of reach for most people. I hope that we never forget, and that the next generation will hang on to country living and self-sufficiency as much as they can.

I'm sorry Jan, I know what you mean. I used to live in Terry right on the New River. It was beautiful and peaceful. The neighbors would say hello, and after a rain the river would roar, and would peacefully put me to sleep. I'll admit, I hated the bees and that enormous mountian into town, but the beauty was worth every bit of it. The air was fresh, the people were clean and respectful, and leaving the doors unlocked was appreciated. I loved fall the most, watching the million of yellow leaved flowing down the river. I miss the smells. Everything.

I moved to Sophia in an attempt to get financially figured out, and instead we moved into a loud, vulgar, trashed complex filled with the dirtiest, drug addicted people you'd ever meet. Instead of a friendly hello it is "can I have a cigarette, or a ride"...constantly. The trees are filled with shoes and trash, smells of trash from the dumpster, and the doors are locked...even when we are home. The shades drawn, the constant avoiding game. Plus the trash and litter everywhere...kills a spirit.

I know how you feel, the city can be a ugly place..yet convenient. Home is where you feel most at peace, and although I was not born and raised in Terry, it felt like home.

Don't worry, with time you'll adapt to the city. I recommend making frequent visits to the country to transition the spirit.

(((((((Jan)))))))) it's okay.

the sweet smell of rotting leaves, the crispness of the water from the creek,refreshed, clean, the morning mist, that lifts, watching towns come to life in a morning from the hills, just a imaginatory moment away, close your eyes and you are there

take care babe

I love to be in the woods before daylight. I like to sit in the edge of a clearing and hear the forest come alive. I love to see the morning mist rise with the dawning of the sun as it melts the frost. The smell of the earth and rotting leaves. What sweet joy and balm to my soul.

Thank you,

Jan

((((((( Sweet Pet )))))))))

Thank you so very much. Together we stand. Thank you.

Your offer of the pics is so very nice of you. What a loving, giving offer. If you by chance come by some pictures, I'd love to have them, but I don't want you to make a special trip just for me.

Hugs,

Jan

((((((((((((( Rap ))))))))))))))

Thank you so much. I have thought about your home a lot. I'm so sorry you are having to leave it. I mourn for your loss.

Hugs,

Jan

((((((((((( Des )))))))))))

I hope you get out of there soon. I used to hike the New River. It's an awesome place and I am sure you miss it terribly. I hope you get to move back there when you graduate.

Hugs,

Jan
