This was my playground as a kid. I learned to ride a bicycle alongside that old church.
The rocks in the distance were places of retreat and play. It was my whole world, my kingdom. I’d often sit in natural recesses in the rocks and gaze over my realm!
But what is really important in this piece, are those wires. It was 1989 when just one of those lines connected my home for the first time to the rest of the world via telephone!
I remember it so clearly! I watched the workers from the phone company as they installed the line. Now, once again, as if through time travel, I share it with you!
