  4. clcouch123 – In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

    the image is beautiful and feels, as you say, free; I guess it’s the combination of motion and stillness that gets to me; well-chosen title, too

    I’ve just read your “About” page, which is lovely. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability.
    I can only assume you are a reader of Mary Oliver.
    May I ask where, roughly, you live? The rural, snowy landscape appeals to me as I consider end-of-life locations? I’d love woods to walk through, and also water.

    1. Thanks Cate. Yes, I am a Mary Oliver devote. I live in Northern New Hampshire, in the Connecticut River Valley. It is very beautiful here. I love all the seasons – even as each makes its own demands.
