Dear writers who aren't writing right now: An apple tree wants to make apples, &, if the conditions are right, it will. Neither shame nor self-discipline can change the season.

Tonight I was remembering an incredible essay I’d first read in a Pushcart anthology 30 years ago. It was called “Stillborn” by Maribeth Fischer. So I looked her up online and sent her a note of appreciation. It felt great to do. Highly recommend.

I like those little moths in the grass that flutter up when you shuffle through the yard after dark. What are they doing? Who knows. Something. Nothing. They are white & fluttery & mindless in a way I (forever anxious) envy. What are they doing?! Little ghosts! It doesn’t matter…& of course it does.

I saw a child crying today because she was going to have to miss the scholastic book fair. I felt so bad for her. Yet somehow it also gave me hope.

I once saw a mermaid on a beach in southern #Iceland.

A colourful river braid on a black sand beach with some tufts of grass on sand dunes just visible. There is a grey sea on the right, some brightness in the sky above some islands, miles in the distance. The river is yellow, orange, turquoise and is shaped a little like a mermaid with her hear and arm thrown back...

The natural world that so astonished Annie Dillard & Wendell Berry is right outside your front door, right now, hungry to be encountered. Encounter it. Be an instrument of awe.

A less-talked-about pleasure of getting older: the chance to rediscover via memory & imagination the old people of my youth. What new appreciation for them I discover! The hurts they must have hurt, physically & spiritually, & how understanding of that amplifies the gift of their love.

Such an honour to have this incredibly thoughtful and expansive review of the North American edition of LIFELINES in the Wall Street Journal. "Prose this good deserves celebration, and the fact that it comes with a moral imperative amplifies the book's appeal." www.wsj.com/arts-culture... ($)

21 days to The Sea-Glass Shore launch! So glad for these words from @jamieboyd.bsky.social, whose storytelling in "The Wilding Year" plays in such a believable and hopeful way with the bizarre and ordinary unpredictability of the human body. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/fi...

Illustration of a woman on a rock by the sea from the cover of The Sea-Glass Shore, with text reading "Julie Salmon Kelleher's prose sings, sometimes like a lullaby and sometimes like a siren's call, always poignant but alternating between notes of time-worn wisdom, quiet humor, painful longing, and stubborn hope." --Jamie M. Boyd, author of "The Wilding Year."

Leonard McCombe was an incredible photographer. He took a series of photos of my granddad in 1960 for LIFE, and we had a brief email exchange in 2007. A kind man, too.
