Serious blustery day out there... driving home from my bus run this morning I had to brave a couple of wide lakes in the street. Now it just pounds down... Brooks run to either side of our property, draining -- or trying to drain -- the swampy ground just up the hill from us. It's an aquifer protection zone -- there must be water rising up here somewhere. And when the sky adds all of this to the mix we get a heavy rushing of streams for days.
I'm pulling together a course for this winter -- I'll be teaching at the University of Maine at Augusta: Songwriting. Thinking of all the great material that has helped me so much over the past few years. Pat Pattison, Rikky Rooksby, Mary Oliver. Coming up with a textbook list... There's such great material out there!
