So the other day I happened to find myself hanging out with some pretty awesome people that live down the block from me. I visited their house for a potluck meal, and the next day we went and played bandshell ball. Both activities were very fun and kind of a social stretch for me, also, I kicked my ankle while playing bandshell ball and also learned how to do somersaults. But, that is neither here nor there.
The house I visited is where most of the Free Winonans are written, and were many of the writers live. Visiting it struck me because I had the certain impression that as soon as I entered the house I had entered a different reality. A place where everything I considered normal was now weird, and everything odd was now in its right place. There was a completely different shift of values and morals, that didn’t seem to shift in a disturbing way, but in a way that surprised me and told me that there is a different way to live. I dont know if that description makes sense, but I think is the best way I can describe it. (more…)
