In Texas for fifteen years or so . .
I fell in love with the live oak trees
And southern culture
When you fall in love you don't look for perfection
you just fall,
without effort.
I fell in love with the way men
And the littlest boys
hold the door
I fell in love with how
Even when I drive badly
No one honks the horn
Live oaks and culture
More to uncover
I keep falling
Where does a brother culture come from? In Taos painting, quiet,I become invisible . . and the sentences, the greetings. . . begin with brother, or sister . There are other ways, words people lead with . . like baby , or sweetie. Words like a hug. Who creates a culture where sentences begin with brother sister sweetie or baby? Where a sentence begins with a word that is a hug. Ellen's “scnooks” or “schnookums” down the hallways. Hug words. Sweetness.
