I have a new essay for you today on Substack: Ice nests and breakfast in bed. A few memories of safe spaces in the most unexpected places.
At the last turn Mother Lake spreads out before me in her morning tousledness, unapologetically raw and mischievous. Her winds gushing over my face, roaring, “This is who I am today. Deal with it!”. And I do, no matter how high her waves, how heavy her rains or how thick her icy blanket.
Read the whole piece on Substack.
Next week I will go on a solo writing retreat to the Swedish west coast and dive into my copyedited book manuscript. I will bring spinning and may blog from there.
Happy spinning!
