LifeScapes 5. February 2024

If we are to live responsibly on earth, we will have to recognize that our true address is not the one listed in the phone book, but the one defined by the movement of water, the lay of the land, the dirt and air, the animals and plants, as well as by the patterns of human occupation, the buildings and crops, the language and lore. To discover our true address, we will have to walk around with eyes and ears open to the neighborhood.—Scott Russell Sanders, Writing From the Center

In LifeScapes today, I want to tell you about our place in the Texas Hill Country and invite you to tell us about yours.
