there are certainly particular spots in Rolla that i visit more often than others! on this map i have marked my favorite places around town. i noticed that most of these places are on the outskirts of town. i do like open air!

MAPPING: marked are the following, from top to bottom:

my best friend's house, Audubon Nature Center, a lookout spot at the Church of Christ, the movie theater, Goodwill, Lion's Club Park, and the house of another close friend

somehow every random green shoot and every stumbling toddler come together to make my hometown, the place where i became me!

REFLECTING: any observer could see that Rolla has everything a small town needs: a laundromat, an ice cream shop, a farm supply store, a red brick high school, and back roads in every direction. what only an inhabitant could see, however, is that it also has everything i needed to grow into myself: a diversity of people, wildflowers, too many one way streets, and plenty of retirement homes for visiting.

the sky is different each day! no two people in my hometown live the same life! everyone has stories to tell, and it is always worth listening!

LISTENING: i hear my friend in the passenger seat singing along to Social House, i hear cars whooshing by (everyone has somewhere to be!), i hear an evening breeze, i hear a cat meowing on the cliff's edge.

everything is growing! plants, people, the town...

OBSERVING: people must really like the color green; it's everywhere! there are wide expanses dedicated to green stringy stuff! people cram buckets together on porches to grow more green stuff! new houses are being built every day it seems, for new adults, and even the new homes are soon surrounded by green!
