Hello again, Jay! Thank you for your kind words about "Leave some space..." I just finished reading your memoir essay about the stone cottage. What an enchanting experience for the reader and I'm sure for you to write about it. This piece does what the best writing does, lift the reader up and carry her to another place and time (physical and emotional) where life changing events, thoughts, and feelings are birthed. Thank you for sharing this with us all. I feel uplifted by the experience.
