if i ever feel like i'm going crazy and going to loose it, i'm going to pull and emily dickenson. i'll stay in my house, maybe have a nice garden in my back yard that i'll weed and water. most of my time will probably be spent writing. writing stories, writing poems, writing letters. i will totally receive guests, with few exceptions (family members come to question my sanity, checking in on my to see if i'm still lucid). but most guests will be welcome. i'll make coffee or tea, maybe some scones. if it's nice, we'll sit outside by the garden. we'll talk. talk about art, about nature, about writings and readings we've done. no gossip, no politics. we'll talk about nothing if we have to, because you can say so much when you're saying nothing. it'll be nice.
so, if you ever hear that i've lost it and become a shut it, that's what happened. it'll probably be temporary, nothing more than a self prescribed rest treatment with more freedom. but feel free to write. we'lll set up a time where you can come by.
