Unknown Island North
"Unknown Island North" is culled from Annie Dillard's 1977 "Holy the Firm". A metaphor for a new thought on the horizon, it is "a new island, a new wrinkle, the deepening of wonder." Dillard finds various names for it as she sketches this new thing onto her drawing of the Puget Sound islands visible from her window. I suppose here, in my own way, I am seeking to name the things that most capture my attention as I look out at the world from my perspective. What follows is a record of what I see.
About Me
- Name: Lira
- Location: Siskiyou County, California
Reclusive twenty-something. Married for seven years now to an honest-to-God Prince Charming. Mischievous Christian. Vegan with raw vegan aspirations. Fond of black lace. Cabin-dweller, soon-to-be little-house-in-the-woods-dweller. Constantly online: might as well be physically plugged in to the power outlet and the local server. Holds a BA in Religion, and a Raw Vegan Associate Chef & Instructor certification. Has worked in child care, education, special education, youth ministry, and children's ministry over the past fourteen years. Reads books like Cookie Monster eats cookies. Writer, artist, and musician. Laboriously learning how to dance. Utter scatterbrain. Adores Lewis Carroll's Alice in all her various incarnations. World just gets curiouser and curiouser every day.
Sometimes The Story tracks you down, jumps you in the dark, then holds you hostage, all the while insisting through vehement whisperings that you write it into being, "Now!"
