Never heard of her, until recently. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">Questing for a new book to read I spotted, via a social media post, <i>Transient Desires</i>, written by Donna Leon. I wrote to a trusted friend, asking for recommendations and mentioned this book. Returning my email correspondence, she wrote, "Funny you should ask for a recommendation, then mentioned this particular book". As it turned out, my friend just received her copy of the book - having read all 29 of the previous mysteries! And, yes, she would certainly recommend this and all the other books! "Read the first and go from there" was her further recommendation.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;">I ordered number one, <i>Death at La Fenice</i>, and when it arrived I began reading, <span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68);">voraciously. Carried away by scenes of Venice, the waterways, the dampness, decay and a murder mystery with the notable Commissario Guido Brunetti, my attention was captured.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68);">So, I'm recommending Donna Leon to you. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68);">For more information, please visit <a href="https://groveatlantic.com/book/no-going-back/" target="_blank">Grove Atlantic Publisher</a>, and start your Venetian mystery journeys!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I workout each day. <a href="https://essentrics.com/classical-stretch/">Miranda Esmonde-White</a> is my DVD workout partner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cook. I eat. I use the bathroom. Toilet paper is used sparingly. And cloth towels are used for most everything else, from wiping a counter to drying hands to sopping up spills on the floor. They are no longer sacred. They are used and washed and used again. In everything, usage is conservative. Everything, including food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fortunately, we - my partner and I - are good cooks. We use recipes, we prepare from memory and we invent. Creativity knows no bounds in this cloistered time. Fresh pasta was made, recently, accompanied with a lite tomato sauce. It was both delicious and tender. We relished every morsel. And last week, we made homemade rye bread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keeping us sane throughout, are both a residential project and our garden. Azalea blooms have come and gone. Our wisteria blossoms were eaten by a pesky squirrel. However, new leaves are sprouting on all branches. Soon, it will provide shade as it reaches across our trellis. Dianthus bloom, profusely. And a potted yellow rose has already given us a few gifts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Three weeks and counting, we behave, staying inside or very near our home. The virus, as lesson to the Earth, is giving us all time to think and be. And it has given us the gifts of a sky, bluer than any I've seen in this city. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Entering week four. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have returned. Has it really been almost three months? Time warp.<br />•When you walk through a forest, what comes to mind? Do you feel the vibrant and electric air? And what about the canopy of branches above - what comes to mind? Peter Wohlleben's book and interview will open your vision as you venture out on your next walk.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">•Are you aware of the sensuous, flowing works of Georgia O'Keeffe? Then you will thoroughly enjoy the ceramic bowls of So Yeon Park. They will take your attention into subtle color, <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">fluid</span> shapes, as you are take into a state of active meditation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">•Have you thought about your summer reading? No? Well, allow The Rumpus to assist you in choosing a book or two!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">•Speaking of meditation, when you are either in that forest or atop a bluff peering out at the continually crashing water of the ocean, do you see mythical creatures? As a child, photographer, Rachael Talibart would - and you can see them in her new series, <i>Sirens</i>. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having one's breath taken away by an image might seem like hyperbole. However, this is what happened to me as I scrolled through the photographs of Mikko Lagerstedt.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When people describe the beauty of having seen something so moving in nature, they tend to describe that thing emotionally - as a shift of perception or as a physical shift within themselves. This is how I felt. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mr. Lagerstedt is from Finland, a land of lakes and natural wonders, and his photographs display nature in its innately magical form. How many of us have the opportunity to see the night's sky free of human produced light? How many of us stop to really see a thing, anything? </span></span></div>
