Wendy's Muse: August 2015
http://wendysmuse.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2015. When we begin to write our memoirs, we may not be thinking about plot. We may be writing down the basic story of what happened and what we think about it. But if we use the same craft elements for memoir as fiction, we will write something dynamic, fascinating and true to the holistic arch of the story. Description, dialogue and decisions move the plot along. Dialogue is natural; it is the way we interact with the world. It can be as simple as a few sentences. Too much di...Each ...

Wendy's Muse: December 2014
http://wendysmuse.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Return of the Light, turn of the Seasons. Is it possible to love the Light within so much, so deeply, so constantly, that the weather outside is nothing more than that: weather, subject to change, a condition? Can I behold the good and the bad, the light and shadow, at the same time and not choose sides, simply allow them to each whisper to me something sacred, something wise, something true? His life was changed, he was transformed. May this days of holy time for reflection...

Thursday, November 27, 2014. I want to remember that I was hungry so that I never forget to say thank you over a meal, an orange, a sliced cucumber, just picked strawberries from the garden, a gift of Christmas cookies. I want to remember that I was confused and lost and yet I found my way. I learned to ask for help. I learned that I am not alone. Let me never forget that where I belong is exactly where I am. I want to remember my tears and the way they brought me salt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wendy's Muse: April 2015
http://wendysmuse.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Visit to South Carolina. I dropped ten years sleeping in a top bunk surrounded by young people and left the hostel energized and ready for adventure. The air was soft and warm and after breakfast, the free trolley took me through the shopping district crowded with tourists to the cobbled streets of colonial America and the Slave Mart Museum. But enough to temper the taste of injustice in my mouth, the thought of beauty built on such ugliness? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). As a perfo...

Monday, January 13, 2014. 8220;Keep in touch,” were his last words as he kissed her good-bye and she vanished through the security checkpoint. Of course, she would. She depended on that exchange of emails, especially ever since that one when he confided to her that he wanted to swim out to sea. She had panicked, emailing four times a day until he responded. But it wasn't his ability that worried her. As she waited in the gangway to the plane, she wondered how it was possible to leave. The what ifs ha...
