One-Minute Writing of the Week:

Prompt: Heritage. What heritage have you received from your ancestors?

In the mountains, heritage runs as deep as the holllows that divide our hills, as deep as the rivers that cut through canyons. Quilting, singing, storytelling, gardening, and a deep sense of where we come from and who we are defines the Appalachian people as strong, rooted, independent and part of their natural world.
