Lynn Kendall : MyBlogHer Profile

I try to see clearly and speak honestly. That's much more complicated than it seems. I'm a middle-aged woman who loves God and art and landforms. I have the gloomy tenacity proper to a fourth-generation Phillies fan or an unsung minor author. Which caused the other, or if they both spring from some ancestral curse, has yet to be determined. It doesn't matter anyway. My loyalties are focused and unswerving, although they can be expanded. Nine years ago I visited the San Francisco Bay Area and knew that this culture, these hills, these people are mine; this is where I belong. I maintain my love and loyalty to my native landscape, but I live here, and I'll stay here, because this is the only place this geeky queer compulsive reader has ever been even close to normal.
