“To either side, the corn plants rattled in the eternal breeze in a way that made you aware of how they grew—as tall as a man in a tiny fraction of a man’s lifetime, drawing water from deep in the earth and exhaling it in a vast, slow breath.”
Jane Smiley, A Thousand Acres
Lovely image Scott. I’m off to visit cousins in Saskatchewan soon and am looking forward to seeing such wide, open expanses … and the night sky.
