We woke up to the cancellation of our flight home on Thursday, and in the next beat launched into the work of leaving a day earlier than expected. Packing, laundry, cleaning, problem-solving—all the tasks involved in The Leaving of a Place. In the middle of it, Garner and I decided to take a break and play Boggle for a while, and, as I caught my breath and surveyed the extreme beauty of my surroundings, Mary Oliver’s “Invitation” found its way into my head—just exactly when I needed it.
Everything aside, I’m going to really, really miss this time and this place.
Today, Boggle and Invitation are my joy. #joyinplace
