Listen For The Echoes

I just realized that I live on Star Ridge. What a lovely bit of knowledge that is. Of course my address is Newfound St. and even that comes with a lot of history. The slaves and mountain people would go to Leicester on Newfound when they wanted to get married.

The mountains have long memories and much has happened in them over the last four hundred years. Change comes quickly in cities, but small towns snuggled deep into valleys surrounded by long winding roads hold onto their echoes for a long time.

It is listening for these that caught my heart.
