When I left the west coast three years ago, I didn't expect to feel an ache of missing; not Vancouver, itself, but the wide open spaciousness of being near the ocean. I was born a prairie girl, but my heart belongs to water. Thank goodness we live near Lake Winnipeg now as it gives me the same feeling.
Damn. This resonates so deep that my teeth clacked while reading it.
Brilliant, important writing.
THANK YOU. I am so glad I'm finding my words again. <3
Nice to see you writing so much again! Missed your voice and the way you express things.

Having lived and traveled many places, I have never found the one that felt like I really belonged. Good on you, Steff, for finding yours.
