we write
to show and tell
secrets from the world
and inside our own hearts.

but sometimes,
all we can do
is invite each other
to look.

Summer Vacation (In The Word Cellar)

nantucket sunset, 8 august 2010

As you may have gathered from this week's ::By Post:: (a collaborative project of virtual postcards), I'm living the island life on Nantucket for a few days. In the spirit of a good old fashioned summer vacation, I'm taking a week off from my In The Word Cellar writing posts. In the meantime, I invite you to stroll through the archives.

I also hope you'll check out the first In The Word Cellar course, Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing. I'm really excited about this online writing course for creative souls and hope you'll join us for lessons on the craft of writing, inspiration, and supportive community. You can find more information here and sign up to be on the mailing list here. I'll send out more information about the course (including registration details) in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned from another ::By Post:: postcard this evening....

In The Word Cellar normally runs on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. Read other posts in the series here.

a long, flat beach at twilight when the sky glows a gentle blue and pink, as though it were illuminated softly from within, like a nightlight to the water and sand below.

here, on the edge
that is not an edge,
in the middle,
that is not truly a middle;
here on an island thirty
miles out to sea,
under the stars,
in the arms of the milky way
and the ocean waves:
here, this is where
i am.
i am, and i wish
you were
here.

sometimes
the smallest
pieces
of the biggest
world
matter most.
