Lewis, Kansas was 10 minutes straight east; Greensburg (home of the world’s largest hand-dug well) 28 minutes south. Offerle, a few low buildings huddling around grain elevators, 10 minutes west. Go 29 minutes more to Dodge City, and you could eat McNuggets and fries at the McDonald’s with a table inside a mock covered wagon. Head northeast for just under an hour and you find yourself in Great Bend, named after the behavior of the Arkansas (pronounced AR-Kansas) river.
Beautiful essay. I particularly love this: " ... a meditative state where the mind forgets to worry about the body and begins to run out on its own." Is that state only available to the young? I remember it and would love to find it again, but my aging mind drifts always back to the aging body.
