Comments on: A note not technically from, but in light of, Central Africa http://www.jinamoore.com/2008/09/05/a-note-not-technically-from-but-in-light-of-central-africa/ Reporter & Producer Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:31:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris L. http://www.jinamoore.com/2008/09/05/a-note-not-technically-from-but-in-light-of-central-africa/#comment-404 Chris L.

" It's most big cities, or small ones with that bzzy energy (like SF). And it hurts even when we don't consciously know it. Writing now in a small city which sits somewhere in between, I think dislocation and connection and home are all threaded together. You do the best job I know of making sense of it all.

Please continue to write write write, from whichever hemisphere, or sidewalk you are inhabiting. I read every post and forward many to friends. And by the by, small towns in Vermont (well, not Woodstock in the Fall because of the leafpeepers) are more like Rwanda than the rest of the USA. As for me, no matter how empty or full the sidewalk, I will never master the waltz.
