I have been struck multiple times by driving up the Thruway and there’s a certain point maybe just around Woodstock where the mountains begin to make me feel like I’ve come home.

One of my favorite passages and literature is a scene in wind in the Willows, where after mole has gone to live with ratty, he walks through a field and smells his home. It makes me cry.

i love this because it reminds me to include specifics- don't just say i looked over my shoulder but i looked towards the white house behind me, or something like that, an opportunity to add detail. love it.
