Report from the cottage in Maine:
Until three years ago, I resisted spending time at the cottage alone for one reason. When the sun goes down, it’s dark. And it’s remote. And being in a place like this kicks in all my old childhood fears of the dark. I have kerosene lanterns and battery-operated flashlights for inside, but you can’t see what’s outside in the acres of woods on all sides.
Last year, while working on my computer in my “study,” pictured at the right, I called one of my brothers. He asked how I was doing here all alone, and I commented, “I’m fine. I’m sitting here at the table in the living room working at my computer. I wouldn’t know it if someone were standing right outside this window.” I immediately freaked myself out.
The kerosene lanterns were the inspiration for my blog title “Just enough light.”
