Found y..."Change is the only constant." <br /><br />Found your blog in the middle of last night and haven't stopped reading since. I come from New England and the spring peepers never fail to tug at my heart every year.<br /><br />What you say is true.

The peepers and the impending summer, like you imagine you'd be somewhere different, thinking different things, the next time you heard them.

All that travel in foreign, urban places in winter months (read: less expensive tickets) has stuck somewhere in my subconscious, apparently. <br /><br />And then there are those times you feel some odd stirring from deep within that just makes you ache to go experience something unknown. Are we the modern day explorers?Adrianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-45181936657900496992010-04-06T20:00:41.790-07:002010-04-06T20:00:41.790-07:00I love this story.

I relate strongly with your feelings of wanting to escape, though, my triggers are different...chickadee songs and waking up to very bright sunlight that filters through my curtains in the mornings.

I hate that archaic Lion logo; we used to go to Duck, North Carolina as kids every year and the paper bags would sit on the counter as a constant reminder that we weren't shopping at OUR grocery store.<br /><br />Second of all, I know exactly the feeling you're talking about. Sophia and I used to lay in her bedroom when we were too young to think about things like this, listening to David Bowie and gazing off towards Cloudland, wishing we could run away there (not that there's anything in Cloudland but trees, a few houses, and eventually... Pomfret?), heralding it as this magical land where we could escape, answer the big questions about life, quench our wanderlust (thanks for the word, Adriane-- it's the perfect description). Star dappled skies and peepers are a total trigger for me; they tug on my heart in a sad sort of way, like there's more to be discovered, like I'm somewhere I shouldn't be, like I should just pack up and go...<br /><br />Cool post.elissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423931397501444371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-41154505624454660032010-04-05T20:11:31.479-07:002010-04-05T20:11:31.479-07:00Thanks for writing this, Lina.

I'm not sure I know anyone who is totally content to the point where they NEVER feel this sort of 'longing'.
