This resonated so much with me. I've long felt greatly impacted, creatively and emotionally, by my surroundings and you put it into perfect terms by describing these places as "dead." This is the main reason my husband and I hope to move out to the country one day and get out of a sad-looking ugly city area.
I'm pleased to hear that you connected with what you read, even if it's over a painful subject. I think a lot of people, especially artists, are feeling the effects of cinder block strip mall cities and the destruction of natural surroundings.
My husband and I moved to our current home because it was closer to the country. But over the past two years, the city has been chopping down forested areas near our home to build square shaped apartments and sports complexes. At some point, if it gets bad enough, we'll have to flee again.
I hope you and your husband find your country sanctuary. God willing.
