On not writing
I saw Ethelbert Miller yesterday and he asked me if I am writing, by which he means writing poetry. Which I am not. Just now. But I told him that the first week of July I'm headed off on a writing retreat to The Porches in central Virginia, so I'm storing it all up for then. Can't wait! Check out photos of the place here. Apparently it looks out over the James River and is close to hiking trails, etc. Mostly, though, it's quiet. I'll probably take a Blog Break that week and try to sink in. I'm not very good at that, but at least once a year I have to give it a try. How I admire the contemplatives of this life.
