Interesting story! I had never heard about Sally Carrol. I think she represents a lot of people who wish to take life slower and don’t want to be swayed away by material excess.

I love the obstinate intelligence of this piece. The tending of one’s self to the exclusion of most else is indeed the only road to sanity.

It isn’t climate or location, but a sense of mind. I’m dating myself when I say this, but I wonder if Callie’s muse has been talking with Rod Serling. And that’s intended as a compliment.

Great post! Here’s to letting the messes go. Here’s to treating ourselves with time to heed our creative mind as it roams through, ahem, the Twilight Zone.

What a nice post. There are days I like to leave the dirty dishes laying about the kitchen for a while, and tackle them at a time when I’m ready for a break. I find the repetitive work, especially when I’ve been writing all morning, allows my brain to shift into neutral, and the creativity flows. I had no idea this was good idea. I always assumed it was sloth on my part. Looks like I need to rethink my actions.

Well-said, Callie!

Ahh, to live in a world where there are no ads that proclaim, “There’s an app for that!” Unfortunately, most of us are too far seeped in this e-world already.

I have chosen a slower pace. I did learn that the bit I achieved in NY publishing wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and that I come alive here in ‘the blood’s country’. Thanks for your beautiful piece that reminds me. Inspires me.
