Double dipping slice for Teacher’s Write. I am still trying to work this piece into something of beauty. My words can’t compete with the beauty of Stakkholtsgjá in Iceland. I’m trying to recapture an image from 1996, a time I felt one with my Nordic roots.

I’m participating in the Teachers Write Virtual writing camp this summer. Today’s assignment was to do a quick write about a place. I started out with a list-y paragraph in my notebook, which morphed into an actual list, which changed into a poem.

Many (about 600) people have joined a summer online writing camp. I applaud and cheer to them. I didn’t join. Hibernation seems like a good option for me.

Change is a mixed blessing. Time in Bali brings change into clear focus as it imposes itself upon those not well positioned to withstand its impact.
