October 12, Washington.
The change of scenery has always surprised me, no matter how many times I've crossed the Illinois-Missouri line over the Mississippi, the flat and uniform corn and soybean fields of the Illinois side metamorphosing into curves and colors on the Missouri side as fields and forests alternate in a jigsaw puzzle of picture-perfect rural American landscape. I called MIssouri home for several years as a student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and grew to like its unassuming beauty, comforting in its scale when the out-of-this-world magnitude of the Western landscapes would leave me feeling exposed and vulnerable.
