Isles of Curiosity and Wonder Midsummer Creative Retreat: Day 4
Clarity Cove and the sounds of silence.
Welcome to the midsummer creative retreat on the Isles of Curiosity and Wonder, running June 20-24. If you’re just joining us, the archives can be found here.
There’s a bit of wind and rain in the forecast today, a contrast to the sun we’ve been enjoying these past few days. This too is part of summer, particularly in the Isles where weather can change unexpectedly. After hot and sunny days, we look forward to the contrast of wet rain, the smell of petrichor permeating the island. Everything is quieter when it rains, the sounds of summer lulled into stillness. It can be a much needed balm, particularly if you’re visiting from a busier, noisier place.
You may want to make use of this change in weather today and check out the library next to the ferry dock. The shelves are well stocked, but if you’re in need of something that we don’t have on hand we can order it through our Inter Island Library Loan system. Requests usually just take a day or two to process, and you can pick your books up here or down at the cabin at Process Point.
