Ring Your Bells. Inside, Outside. Video

Inside, Outside. Ring Your Bells

My story happens inside, outside. I write on 250-year-old old farm dining table, where meals were served and babies were born. On this beautiful old table is my computer – my keyboard, laptop, screen, all Apple, a creative eco-system that reliably and inefficiently handles my stories, words, videos, photos and blog. I could not do my work without it, and I am grateful for it and bless it every day.

My stories mostly come from outside, in the world of the dogs, donkeys, cats and the farm. A sweet morning, filled with ritual, greeting and love. Simon greeted me when I got up at 5 a.m., and then again, when Maria and I went out to do the shores. We were about to throw out some old cranberries, but no need to throw things out here. Sweet moments, inside and out.  Ring your bells, tell your stories. Renew yourself, every morning, and then again and again. Come and see.
