journal. because. Too far out of town to be 'in town', too developed to be 'rural'. so, semi-rural/exurban it is. (House is in a 45 year old farmer-developed subdivision - locals remember cutting hay/harvesting corn in the field. He got tired of farming, so put a road down the middle and subdivided the land into 1-acre building plots.)
REMEMBER
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
...
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
