The Dance of Life by Ann Morris in Sculpture Woods On Lummi Island, Washington
“Dance of Life”
She rides his head—
not in conquest,
but in surrender to his power,
her thighs molded to its bronze,
her back arched
like a bow strung by breath.
The beast below—
all muscle and stillness,
its rage quieted into form—
bears her weight
as if memory itself
had learned to carry desire.
Light drips down her flank,
touching metal,
touching dream—
and for a moment,
stone, flesh, and want
are one continuous motion.

San Juan Islands as Seen from Lummi Island — Image by kenne
Five New York Times foreign correspondents (past and present) have identified places they would go back to if they got the chance. One of those places is the an archipelago, the San Juan Islands in the northwest corner of the continental United States and Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and are part of Washington state. One year ago August, we spent a few days on one of these paradise islands, Lummi Island. Not one of the larger of the islands, but located a short ferry ride from the mainland. We were there for the wedding of my nice, Lisa, where she and he future husband, Michael, would go on bike rides through the beautiful landscapes. The time we spent on the island was brief, but very memorable, from the wedding at Willows Inn, the island’ s nature beauty to the bed ‘n breakfast on the north end of the island. It is easy to see why correspondent, Sara Dickerman listed it in the cover article for Sunday’s New York Times Travel section. We would love to go back and also visit some of the other islands in the archipelago.
