1000 Miles Away

Chapter 15 – These Fields Stretch out Like Patchwork, on my Grandma's Quilt

July 5, 2005

The French countryside is like a quilt. It's got so many patches, all perfectly square and so colorful. It makes me think of the quilt your mother made you as a baby. The one you still sleep with. The only difference is that instead of it being made of pink and purple pastels this quilt is made of greens and browns. You would agree if you saw it. In fact I'll send some pictures with this postcard so it'll be like you were here with me. The white lines on the European roads lead me home.
