After three whole glorious weeks of fall weather, winter has arrived here in Salt Lake. A couple of days ago, I drove to Provo in a snowstorm to a beautiful home that my friend Ally built, for a writing retreat with a few other women. To my left is a woman writing. Downstairs is a woman writing. We’ve all been talking about how rare and wonderful it is to feel, for a few days, free of responsibilities and schedules, to have food put in front of us three times a day and to be forbidden from doing dishes.
Your writing about the church and wanting to observe the rituals, hit me so personally. You put into words almost my exact feelings. I am a retired teacher and have used many of your books in my middle school. You get through to both adults and teens. I appreciate the Inbox Variations so much and your writing personally. Plus, I love poetry and Denise Levertov. My favorite poem of hers is "Living" but I also love the one you posted. Thank you for your insight and writing. Denise Whisman
