The Big Open

18 Aug 2021 Comments Off

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Just as we we were beginning to normalize our lives, a variant of Covid entered our lives and masks, social distancing, and isolation appeared again. The brief and yet so welcome respite refreshed our hearts and souls. Desperate folks saw lights at the end of their tunnels. Rather tan get angry at the current state of affairs, why not embrace the peace we felt a short time ago?

The world is still spinning on its axis and we’re still here, banged up a bit and disillusioned but still here. Why not keep an open mind and search for ways to get into the world again – “The Big Open ” is still calling!

One of the themes in the Laramie Fan Fiction stories (my story site) is the theme of “The Big Open”.” It refers to a “place” (new territory, if you will) where you can go exploring, where no one knows your name, where you are free to be who you are. Why not go exploring? Ok, Sallie, you’re asking me. Where can I explore? What can I explore? In A Word – EVERYTHING!! Books, music, foods, virtual museums, crafts, skills etc. etc.!!

The Open Road awaits:

Write and share where you are exploring.
