Dirt or Concrete?

Dirt or Concrete?

by D. L. Koontz | May 27, 2014 | Journal, Life Ever-Changing, Life of a Writer, Sense and Nonsense, Tripping Around the Blue Ridge

I live on one end of this road. The world, on the other. I love that separating me from (or bridging me to…A matter of perspective?) that world is a red dirt road. A path made of earth—clay, sand and gravel that groans and shifts as if irritated when my shoes or...

Caught Betwixt and Between the North and the South

by D. L. Koontz | Jan 24, 2012 | Journal, Tripping Around the Blue Ridge

Part I of II I’m originally from the North, but I spend a lot of time with Just My Joe in the South. And yet, I live in that beautiful, confused and bewildered in-between area, the mid-Atlantic region.  Or, as I call it, Marpennsylginia. We’re confused and...
