​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Sheets in the wind

6/7/2020

            Unfortunately, we had a storm the first night out here.

            Fortunately, the torrential rain showed us where our roof is leaking.

            Unfortunately, it was leaking right over an ancient sleigh bed where Rachel Field used to sleep.

            Fortunately, all the quilts and sheets were so thick, the mattress stayed dry.

            Unfortunately, the bedding was drenched, so we had to hang it outside.

            Fortunately, sheets blowing in the wind provide a glorious meditation on wind and weather, rest and resistance, time and tide, watching and waiting.
