Things We Leave Behind

Everywhere I turn someone has left something, and behind each thing, a story. I scan my world every day. Is this a mistake? Is this a statement? Has someone left in a rush?

An art installation sparked my interest in the practice of leaving things. BLM–2018.  

A low-slung white barn set in rolling Maine farmland.

They left behind a barn. We made a residency, called Shannaghe. 

I imagine her at sunset, juice sticky on her fingers, and a drop in her eye. 

Shannaghe

This is a residency for writers, environmentalists, and others. Solo experience. Rural Maine.

What’s with the name? Sha – nah – gkee is the ancient Irish term for truthteller.
