I am moving.
My inner dialogues have a flair for the dramatic.
Put these two things together and the result is what I have christened "The Great Time of Saying Good-Bye."
I get attached to places, to the confluence of time and space in my daily routines that produces a pattern. As a writer I depend on these confluences to bring forth my writing self. I have learned over many years that these confluences have to be actively created and nurtured by me in order for me to produce the work I want to produce. If I leave things to chance, I won't get anything done. Habit and environment are stronger than intention.
I get attached to places for this reason. I spend a great deal of my imaginative life, or I spend a great deal of time in a place, imagining, and that repetition makes the place dear to me. I get crushes on bushes, and benches, and fond wallpaper.
