It gives me joy and peace of mind to think of [Hedgebrook] far away on Whidbey Island, but very close to my heart.

I have never been able to let the rest of the world fall away as I write, like I can at Hedgebrook. Living and writing at Hedgebrook awakens a part of me I wish I could embrace more often. It provides the perfect amount of solitude.
