More about the rest of GA, Maine and Boston later - having an absorbing, stimulating, lovely time (lobster, laughter, long conversations. . . ), yet still inextricably connected to disappointments and deaths and the intricate demands of everyday life.... . .

In the meantime, my story "I Would Never" is now up at Clean Sheets.

And both the "Best Bodies" issue of People and The Essential Rumi by my bed. From the latter (trs. Coleman Barks):

Keep walking, though there's no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings. Move within,
but don't move the way fear makes you move.
