Retreat into Laughter
Today, I feel like this cider bottle, hovering amidst these startled birds... displaced, misplaced, up-in-the-air.
I am not in the mood to write anything. But I'm in the mood to laugh. (Okay, I am always, always in the mood to laugh...)
Anyway, here's my suggestion, if you want to retreat into laughter with me...

What a great photo! You have so many great links to visual artists here. Thanks for the resource.
I'd bet you would love the retreat center I work for in the Texas Hill Country (Laity Lodge)--though we are a long way from New York. We have a center for the arts where you would just fit right in. A little over a year ago, our art director brought an exhibit of John Cobb's Tabernacle that must be one of the most beautiful special exhibits I have ever seen. If you ever have a chance to see his work, do.
I really like Fujimura too. He has a great chapter in Square Halo Books' It Was Good.
Since you shared a book, I thought I'd share one. You like Anne Lamott, so I assume you like Annie Dillard. But just in case. If you haven't read The Writing Life run to a bookstore to get it!
I bet I would love a retreat, period! Of course, I would probably love your retreat center, too. I will keep it in mind if I ever speak in your area.
Also, I will check out the book It Was Good... and I do love Annie Dillard... The Writing Life has been particularly helpful to me right now, as I'm busy tapping the walls of my manuscript with my little editing hammer. :)
