Starter #17: A Place You Love"This is the most beautiful place on earth. There are many such places. Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even, possibly, for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio, or Rome — there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment." - Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire WRITING PROMPT: What is a place that you love? A place where you feel most yourself, or most alive, or inspired, or safe? Describe that place! You can draw it or write about: Describe what it looks like, paint a picture for the reader, write about memories you have there or how you feel when you're there..... Announcements/Homework
