Dear Friends, Thanks for your patience while I was away on winter retreat. I’m delighted to be back with you. Next week, I’ll share the talk I gave on retreat, but for now, here are a few places my mind and words have traveled in the New Year. I’d love to hear where you are and how you are doing.
Ahh! A prose poem from Sal and the River Egret. Just came from a class introducing students to bound volumes of a nineteenth-century magazine. Headed to a class in which students will take the semester to write the syllabus. The sky is very blue outside my office window. The hospital helicopter passes low. Construction vehicles rev and beep where a new dorm is going up. Otherwise, it’s quiet in this building. I drop in on Substack for a few minutes. I will sit with the treetops before printing an assignment for class.
this is beautiful. it feels both huge & almost nothing at all, which is how I have been feeling. I appreciate you taking your time with things, I really do.

It’s so good to hear from your day, Tara!

I love that, “huge & almost nothing.” xoxo
