“Uncover the Mysteries of Nature: A Journey through Lynne Golodner’s ‘Forest Walk on a Friday'”
Cycles fill her writing. While she moved across the country and visited many places across the globe, she is back now, living not far from where she grew up. She’s come full circle in her connection to religion, as well. In “Oysters” she writes about that journey: “Feeling like I didn’t belong among the people who’d raised me propelled me toward Orthodox Judaism … I thought following rules would make me acceptable to others. The real me was too intense, outspoken and brazen … that made me ‘too much’ for certain friends, family members and most boyfriends, who ultimately discarded me. So I gave myself up.”
