Feeling transformed.
•••
The setting sun behind me seems like the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen. I stop at a house on the way home and get out of the car to take a picture. I grab my two beets and photograph them in the sunset. It seems important. I take a picture of a wonderful white pine because that seems important too. When I get home, before I even go inside, I start running west, into the woods. I run toward the sunset. I run toward my favorite white pine and take its picture too. Everything feels magnificent. Everything feels euphoric. The pictures don’t capture it, but I can feel it. I can hold the feeling. That evening, I sit down to write, for fun, because of the feelings. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve felt this kind of inspiration to write.

Move to an island for a short period of time.
•••
Bicycle to the same beach every afternoon (3 p.m. is best). Prop your rusty, old bike against the sea wall (you won’t need a lock) and take the wooden stairs down to the sand. Find a spot near the jetty to put your towel and dry clothes. Even if there are a lot of shells and rocks and thick clumps of seaweed in the shallowest part of the water, don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. Hurry up and get in, the water will feel great almost instantly. It’s cold and invigorating, but it is also life-changing. You can laugh into the sea, you can cry into the sea, you can even pee into it. There’s a warm spot at the end of the jetty that will make your heart ache, but it will also keep you going. You’ll never forget this and you’ll hardly be able to explain it.
