My View from Here

This week, I am vacationing off the beaten path, traveling the slow road with the family through lower Michigan and across the bridge and finally ending up here:

I’m not entirely disconnected from technology, but distanced enough to keep me grounded in the moment, not caught up in what I’m missing. With that in mind, I doubt much writing will get done this week. It seems natural (and necessary) to let deadlines go, to rest a bit, to just be.

If the itch strikes, write. If not? Well, then….

For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life…being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that. ~Alice Walker
