Little Morsel: Go West

May 3, 2010 1 Comment

I’m going to share little morsels I read. This is morsel #1. I read this article while on vacation a week ago. I loved it. Only the abstract is available online today but if you feel you can pick up a New Yorker, do. If the full article becomes available online, I’ll redirect the link.
Although it doesn’t relate to pediatric health, it relates to telling stories. Which is what I do here.
Read Peter Hessler’s “Go West,” if you can. It’s not too long (like most in The New Yorker) and it’s chewy. I nibbled on the words and swallowed the images he creates.
Think running a marathon, learning the pronunciation of the state of Wyoming, and moving to Colorado. Think about Americans as storytellers. Think about moving back to the United States.
I think, next time I move, I want to hire the company he used in China.
Maybe you don’t even have to go on vacation to read it. How about during nap time?

    Moving to Colorado was a great thing. Perhaps, during naptime, I can read an article and chew on that like a piece of my past. Thanks for the continually great insights!
