| Introduction | I am retired and living in Minneapolis after ten years on the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. Lake Superior is an ever changing experience, and for me this area of Minnesota feels grounded and I am Home. Daily walks along the shore road with my dogs, collecting beach glass and agates, and making art occupy my time pleasureably. I am still settling into my home, sorting and lessening my possessions, as a friend tells me, "Less is more". It seems true at this time in my life to have less, although it's taking a lot of time, as each discarded object demands my consideration of the attached memories. The memories remain, the objects mostly go where they need to go. |
