The Road, Let’s Travel. My name is Jennifer Schmitt. And I’m a freelance writer and professional calligrapher. In Arizona. I write about a lot of things the family I’ve made for myself, the family who made me, moments that stop me in my tracks, and the long drives that reset my compass.

You can find my writing other places, too, by clicking here. And I&#...

A Road with a View. The road, let’s travel. The quotes i love best. November 23, 2010. Silver bowls sit beside each place. At the table. They are old – that much I know. Monogrammed, too, and I somehow divine that they’re meant for soup. A detail that makes no sense, but then what do I know about old, fine things? Edith Wharton, I am not. Photo credit: BlakJakDavy, flickr.com. The flowers, over there. Count the chairs. Enough? Turn off the flame under the soup. Uncork the wine. My dreams lately are of th...

A Road with a View. The road, let’s travel. The quotes i love best. September 8, 2009. The bedroom. Four o’clock sunlight reaches through the blinds and slants like cursive across the wall. I could see it if I open my eyes. I lie there, two fists full of blanket tucked under my chin, holding on to these cotton fibers like they’re the only true thing I know. As though what I need is balled up inside, and if I let go I’ll lose it all for good. As if I haven’t already. So you think,. Just goes to show you.

I clutch my driving directions in one hand and refer to them in the glow of my car’s interior light. 16th Street to Florida, right on R, take 23rd at the roundabout, and so on. I’m on my way to meet friends in Arlington and decided to take surface streets rather than looping around the city. I’d have to ask my best friend since college. How long it’s been (15 years? Not looking at a map....

The violets | A Road with a View

http://aroadwithaview.com/2011/03/27/the-violets

A Road with a View. The road, let’s travel. The quotes i love best. March 27, 2011. Yesterday when I heard there was snowfall in the forecast for the night, I looked out the back door at the mess of daffodils against the back fence, worried that the snow would kill the last of them before I was ready for them to go. Then I noticed a patch of purple flowers in front of the daffodils. And, as I hoped in the moments it took to cross the yard, they were violets. In our yard there were two patches of violets.
