Knowing Home
Living in place means following necessities and pleasures of life as they are uniquely presented by a particular site, and evolving ways to ensure long-term occupancy of that site.
Reinhabitation means learning to live in place in an area that has been disrupted and injured through past exploitation
Bioregionalism refers both to geographical terrain and a terrain of consciousness--to a place and ideas that have developed about how to live in that place.

Johnson Creek Watershed Photo Album
Just past the tracts (where our house was) ran Johnson Creek--in those days, a decent place for swimming and catching crawfish--and beyond that there was a large densely wooded area. It was rumored that teenagers gathered at nights in those woods and drank and had sex in hard-to find groves. It was also rumored that a gruesome murder had taken place there years before, and that some of the body parts from the crime had never been recovered and still lay buried somewhere among the Trees.
