I have a room in which to write. It is small and narrow and full of westward-facing windows. I love it already. So far, no writing has occurred. Mainly the stars and sky and sun and water and I have been staring at one another in and out of time. Here is my sabbath. Here is where I do my work of rest. With the seagulls, train whistles, and wind.
In my room, I would like a small tall table, with two chairs, and a glider. I have a tea pot, with two matching cups and saucers. In the winter, I will move my oil heater into the room. I will wear jackets and scarves and hats. I will curl up with comforters and be comforted. I will sit as close as I can get to the outside and hope the windows don't freeze over. I will sleep out there in the summer. I will. My niece and nephew will play there. My parents will sleep on a queen size blow up mattress that we will procure when they come to plant my garden in the spring.
I will be very much in "the love that dances at the heart of things". So much can this one room contain, receive, release.
