The Cottage on the Island

There is a place where six-year-olds play phonetic Scrabble.

It's a place you couldn't possibly set out to design

where the evenings are foggy, but the perspective is crystal clear

where the waters may not heal the body, but never fail to heal the soul

where the new bonds of family deepen with the common experience

where the only things plugged in are directly related to food

where communication thrives as cell phones die.

Where newcomers come home.
