Judy Blunt Quotes

I Came To Recognize The Landscape Of My Life In The Lives Of Many Women. Their Stories And The Places They Spoke Of Spanned A World Beyond My Experience, From Mill Towns To Suburbs, From Logging Camps To Ethnic Neighborhoods, From Inner Cities To Indian Reservations. Few Shared My Place Of Origin Or The Events Of My Life, But Many, It Seems, Shared My Experience. Listening To Their Stories, I Came To Understand How Women Can Be Isolated By Circumstances As Well As By Distance, And How Our Experiences, Though Geographically Distinct, Often Translated Into The Same Feelings. Away From The Physical Presence Of My Past, I Found It Easy To Argue That What Mattered Most Was The Story, The Truth Of What We Tell Ourselves, The Versions We Pass Along To Our Daughters. But As I Stood In The Living Room Of My Rock House That Afternoon, I Was Again Reminded Of The Enormous Power Of This Prairie, Its Silence And The Whisper I Made Inside It. I Had Forgotten How Easily One Person Can Be Lost Here.
