When Time Stands Still...

Taking a pause to find where I´m going

With apologies to the photographer for not knowing who you are, I thank you for catching this moment and reminding me that I live in a world that sometimes can only be described as other-worldly, at a time when everything feels outside time.

Hello everyone. Well, as I wrote in my description, this newsletter is devoted to “Stories of moments when time stands still…” and I find myself in need of one of those moments now.

I need to take a break from the rhythm of the weekly post, and accumulate some writing in a stretch, free of the deadline. The real subject of my saga lies in the hidden valleys of an invisible landscape of feeling, and, unlike the songwriting genius it centers around, I need a lot of reflection to bring that dimension into clear enough focus to depict it in words.

Luckily, Substack knows this happens sometimes, and has given writers the option of a Pause button that suspends all subscriptions in that place where time stands still. So you won´t be charged for what you don´t receive. In the meantime, I´ll be writing, and I expect to be back in a month or so.

I thank you in advance for your understanding. And I thank you for your past support, and those wonderful comments which have been not only fascinating but heart-warming as well, an elixir that I get to take a sip of each week, warming my heart and inspiring my work.

My cup runneth over. I raise that glass in gratitude to you all.

See you in the Spring!

– Christie

P.S. I will keep my other newsletter, Moments of Connection, going as usual, and you are very welcome to drop in anytime!
