I love your writing, I have your blog in my...Wow. <br /><br />I love your writing, I have your blog in my feed but only peruse it occasionally. But I saw this post today and felt compelled to say hello.<br /><br />I live in Boulder, about two blocks from Naropa. I'm a journalism major at CU--the big bureaucratic university in town.<br /><br />About two weeks ago I met a nice Greek man walking down my road carrying everything he owned. He had just moved to Boulder. He works at Naropa and I have become friends with him in the time since I helped him carry his belongings to his new home.<br /><br />I'm telling you all of this because in the last two weeks I have gotten to meet and see more of Naropa than before. And it really does seem like a special place. People there are smart and welcoming and they care about emotional and spiritual health (something that is so lacking at my school).<br /><br />And I don't know too much about their academics, but I do know they have a good writing program. And that the community is really welcoming.<br /><br />This is a legitimate offer...if you would like to come visit Naropa and Boulder you can stay with me. I like showing people around town and my friend could introduce you to people at Naropa. <br /><br />It's weird inviting a stranger to my house. But your writing shows more about you than maybe you realize, and so I feel comfortable doing so.<br /><br />(I think some of it is that I also, deep down, want to pursue writing creatively. And I'd like to help you achieve your dream because that would, in some way, help me.)<br /><br />Let me know if I you'd like to take me up on this offer--I'll be in Boulder until August 2012.<br /><br />And I can give you my phone number if you want to call and make sure I'm not a surly old man with bad intentions.<br /><br />(merochelle@gmail.com)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127831056649599829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-56853502972999329752011-07-21T13:53:59.609-04:002011-07-21T13:53:59.609-04:00This was, for me, a little like when you see a ref...This was, for me, a little like when you see a reflection of a mirror in a mirror -- a round-about and accidental happening upon your account of a serendipitous encounter, during a particularly soul-searching time of my life, becomes a reminder to pick up the book that has been sitting, gathering dust on my bookshelf for years. <br />I've never read it. But, in the same way it sounds like the Universe was talking to you that day; feels like the Universe is talking to me today. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. :)Heatherhttp://www.heatherballisonphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-54302535738184844332011-06-02T07:34:25.471-04:002011-06-02T07:34:25.471-04:00Nice dialogue.
