The Metaphor of Me

Written by lindasummersea on April 29th, 2016April 30th, 2016. Leave a comment

Today I listened to an interview in which it was suggested that we look inward for the metaphor of who we are and what we do in the world… what’s going on in our life. My metaphor popped up instantly. I am a conch shell. A conch shell may be empty but it once was […]

Show, Don’t Tell

Written by lindasummersea on April 27th, 2016April 27th, 2016. 3 Comments

“Show, Don’t Tell” is the closest thing I know to a writer’s mantra. For every sentence that I write, I’m constantly berating myself—Did I “show”? Or did I “tell”? Did I remain “in scene”? Remaining “in scene” is my nemesis write now. Yes, write now. You read that write. Writing is all I care about, […]

The Scent of Writing

Written by lindasummersea on April 20th, 2016April 20th, 2016. Leave a comment

The scent of writing is all around me this morning in the form of a bouquet of lilacs. Yesterday, I placed the Mason jar bouquet on the shelf next to my bed, where I begin my morning reading and writing with my first cups of coffee. The scent of lilacs. How that returns me to […]

Humor in Memoir

Written by lindasummersea on April 11th, 2016April 11th, 2016. Leave a comment

On March 8th, I posted on Facebook that I was going to add Humor to my memoir. Humor. What was I thinking? Those who know the story of my challenging childhood were probably taken aback because only one person “liked” it (That was you, Nancy Harris.) and no one commented. With Facebook “likes” being the […]

Norman Rockwell and the Dolls

Written by lindasummersea on April 7th, 2016April 8th, 2016. 2 Comments

The Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge had only three cars in the parking lot on this cool wintry-looking April day. I parked, knowing that I’d enjoy the luxury of having the museum almost entirely to myself. I tried to get here on a couple of other days, but made the mistake of beginning to write […]

Snowstorm

Written by lindasummersea on April 3rd, 2016April 3rd, 2016. Leave a comment

A spring snowstorm arrived overnight in the Berkshires, triggering more childhood memories. Haven’t lived where snow is a regular event for more than twenty-five years. There was plenty of warning. We all knew the snow was coming. I went to the Stop & Shop yesterday afternoon. Stocked up on groceries for a couple days’ worth […]

Return to Kripalu

Written by lindasummersea on April 2nd, 2016April 7th, 2016. 2 Comments

A return to Kripalu is always a full sensory immersion. Even while parking the car in the upper parking lot, I opened my door and the pungent scent of the forest immersed me in positivity. I walked down the hill, enjoying the view of the lake below and relishing each step, bringing me closer to […]
