Here, particularly in this rural quadrant, lives a culture that stands out- more than just a little- from the rest of the country, even those directly nearby. And it’s staying that way. Staying alive. It’s something in the dirt, in the grass.

Their grass is so much bluer.

Something in the mud, in the leaves, in the tall, twisted tree limbs. Something inside the massive pecan trees, double the size of their tree trunk sisters just 120 miles north. I’ve never seen a tree so tall, or a horizon so vast and endless. The trees claw at the sky, at the sunrise. Their talons reach for the sunset, taller than a dinosaur, trunks wider than a Nissan Sentra.

The earth here churns up arrowheads by the hundred, as if there’d be no end, as if she were herself knapping them from her core. By the five gallon bucket, the very dirt here is alive. The chlorophyll itself glimmers with god particles. Sound carries a little further. Emotions move a little slower, and with a little more clarity. Hearts heal, and the trees smile down at you.

The leaves here are so much bluer.
