Hippies, hitch hiking, Shakespearean Theatre, my VW bus, and most of all, a transcendental experience at the south rim of the Grand Canyon in 1965. I must write of it in the next SOLC. Your writing moved me deeply, Bonnie. I concur with Kevin's observation and with your heartfelt sentiments. Rick Oh Bonnie,

Glad to have your confirmation that the mind still works at 5:45 AM. I'm glad too that my heart can be felt.

It really captures a piece of your heart, I think, and explains your love of the SW. I think the last paragraph is very powerful. Thanks for sharing. I like this: As long as planes continue to fly, as long as I have enough money to pay for a seat, I will continue to find my way back to the places I have come to know and love. Kevin hey

You clearly created a sense of place with the words you chose to use Bonnie. Your elaboration is strong and made me feel as if I were there. If you're looking for tips, then I'll give you one that L.C. gave me in class a few years ago: eradicate as many adjectives and adverbs as possible and use strong verbs. This is something you already do in many spots, but since you were looking for feedback, I thought I'd weave that in for you to think about. I think it’s strong and descriptive.
