Hello from our cottage on Stony Lake, Ontario. What a week it’s been. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, this is a good moment to stop and take a long, deep breath. Come back to your center. In almost every art form, spiritual tradition, and scientific law, the center is a powerful expression of balance, equanimity, and stability. But it’s not just a symbol of these qualities; it’s also a method for cultivating them in ourselves and in the world.

Hello, I’m back with a bonus post for paying subscribers, this week on lifelong literary inspiration. If you’d like to enjoy this in full, please consider supporting work in process with a modest subscription fee. I’ll be back to bi-weekly posts, on Tuesdays and Fridays (or if I’m running behind, Wednesdays and Saturdays). I do hope you’ll join us. Now, as my dad used to say, Onward….. I was in a hotel room in Florida last week when I learned that Alice Munro had died at 92.

Hi! I’m back from a fun first leg of the Brief Flashings book tour. If I met you, thank you for coming out in support of this wild little wonder. If you missed this round, I’ll be in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Boca Grande, Florida, this coming week before returning to Santa Fe for a sold-out wild writing workshop at the Santa Fe International Literary Festival on May 20. California was a dream.

The other morning I went for a mountain bike ride. I am supposedly “training” for the Leadville 100 bike race in August, but the minute I start thinking of biking as training, the idea of racing 100 miles seems like the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. So I have to trick myself. I am just riding my bike. A lot. The trail network has a sweet flow trail called Hustle and Flow, a rolly-smooth downhill dirt track with bermed sides and little jumps.

"Time Heals All Wounds." Image by Alexa from PixabayOur InnerSelf welcomes your inner self. The creator of the above graphic put its' description as "Time Heals All Wounds", and while this may be true, it doesn't necessarily "just happen". We have to participate. We have to do our part. Whether the illness is physical due to lack of healthy habits or perhaps overabundance of bad habits, if we just continue on the same path we are on, nothing will change.
