First, happy birthday! I hope you'll have a wonderful new year filled with happiness and new adventures.
And -- your Big Sur story is giving me so much FOMO! Why didn't I ever lay down on the ground in Big Sur and let life unfold? Why?? I drove through Big Sur and stayed at Deetjen's Inn, but never ventured into nature there. I kick myself for it now. Thank you for sharing this with us so we can experience it through you. Anyone reading this who wonders if they should visit Big Sur and the California coast should wonder no longer: go.
Your entire essay was gorgeous, but this part especially will stick with me: "I regularly pull from my own deck, enough so that Iām tired of demanding answers from elsewhere. I am tired of feeling I have nothing definitive to offer myself." Absolutely lovely. Thank you. Aaaaaaand happy happy happy birthday!
Damn girl, you're quickly becoming my favorite writer. . . a rare voice that i feel completely attached to - a lingual experience that feels like a dream but with those bony edges of reality. Well done. And happiest of bdays to you!!
This was a wonderful read! I wish to be able to write like that one day. Your story gave me strong nostalgic vibes of my youth up at my familyās cottage. Thanks for sharing
