Refuge by Terry Tempest Williams: Journal Entry #2

I really enjoyed how this piece of writing flowed. It starts off talking about the Great Salt Lake flooding. Sure, that gives us a place and event, but I was wondering where she was going with this. And then, she mentions the owls and ties it all together. I love how she relates everything back to that one place, the refuge. It flowed really nicely for being a bunch of separate stories: the Great Salt Lake, her love for the wilderness and sharing it with her immediate family, and her family history. Her writing is also very eloquent without much perceived effort.
