A Lilac Spot
Photo by Amy LV
When I was a little girl, we had a row of lilac bushes along the edge of our yard. I used to crawl in between bushes into hollows between branches. There I would sit, think, daydream, and fold and tear lilac leaves into snowflakes.
Small secret places such as these are treasure boxes...for children and adults too. Just yesterday we visited friends who are building a new house. In this big new home, a small office tucked itself behind a door, just enough space to be alone to think and dream.
Students - do you have a secret place? Or a cozy spot? If so, it might be a fine writing place. It might also be a fine idea to write about!

Mary Lee,
ReplyDeleteOh goody! I just got that book...based on a blog recommendation. I looove Patricia MacLachlan and cannot wait to start this new one as soon as I finish BORROWED NAMES which I simply adore. I've folded near-half of the pages down...
