Lovely article … Linda has immense knowledge and a great way of expressing herself.

I'm glad that a lot of her memory is still intact to recall what she knew about that distant past, and that landscape she was raised in.
Besides her out-in-the-open rage about the ugly scar of a border wall that unnecessarily divides the U.S. and Mexico in general, and Arizona and Sonora in particular, Linda points out that the Sonoran Desert is indeed a "ferocious" place (not to mention one of the hottest regions on the planet during the summer months), but it is also a region teeming with all kinds of life. I think that is one of the many reasons why she wrote Feels Like Home, to give outsiders a much better and much more accurate understanding of that part of the world where she was raised.

It likes random asymmetry. So the day you start putting fences in and building in a straight line a desert turns into a wasteland.” |
