Dear lovely folks, if you review books, my short story collection Letters from an Imaginary Country is now available on NetGalley and Edelweiss. Please feel free to request and review!!! :)
Sending you love and compassion from Dartmoor, Nick. Your love for your mum has shined through your posts about her.
It was early, which has always been my hour to begin looking at the world
and of course, even in the darkness, to begin listening into it,
especially under the pines where the owl lives and sometimes calls out
as I walk by, as he did on this morning. So many gifts!
Oh heavens, I needed this today too, Nick. Thank you.
This is just about the only thing I can cope with at the moment. The puppy looks exactly like my dog friend that I hang out with occasionally. I’m just gonna be watching this for the next few months 👋🏻😭👋🏻
i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.
“When you are quiet, the silence blows against your mind and etches away everything that is soft and unimportant. What is left is what is real: pure awareness and the very hardest questions.” - Kathleen Dean Moore (from Earth's Wild Music)
She's a little better, but having pulled a muscle (through typical spaniel over-exuberance) she needs to rest again today - and she's not enjoying that all! Here she is, bored and miserable, dreaming of all the fun she's missing. I hope your own week is a good one, Charles.
From Kate DiCamillo's lovely essay On Writing:
"You have no business wanting to be a writer unless you are a reader. You should read fantasies and essays, biographies and poetry, fables and fairy tales. Read, read, read, read, read."
I couldn't agree more.
