I wrote this to read at the Phoenicia Playhouse debut of my recurring event The Real Life Revival: An Evening of Storytelling & Music, Saturday May 14th, 2022. I’ve lived in the hamlet of Phoenicia the longest I’ve lived anywhere. My wife and I moved to this town with our four-year-old son in autumn of 2002. Going on 20 years now, almost 1/3 of my life, I’ve received mail in a burg of approximately 300 people. The closest traffic light is 16 miles away. Prior to this chapter, the longest I resided at one address was 14 years in a St Mark’s Place tenement.
Great stuff, Robert!
I look forward to more personal musings. Love it when a sentence surprises me!
You're a beautiful writer, RBW, & you write beautifully! ❤️
