“Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
— Rumi
From the Best Made Archives: Duluth Viewmaster series
As a kid growing up in Minnesota, ‘getting away from it all’ meant heading up north. Duluth. McGregor. Lutsen. The north shore. We still love it up north. The fishing. The boating. And the cribbage, ah the cribbage. But for those days when the work starts to pile up, the emails need answering and I just can’t ‘get away from it all,’ I have my Viewmaster. A few minutes clicking through the vistas of Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse, and the Silver Creek cliffs are almost as restorative as an actual visit. Almost. At least it’s enough to get me through the rest of my emails.
