Welcome to Rewind, the Saturday email digest of this week’s articles on The Reflectionist.

The theme this week, as I open each article and dropped the links here for Rewind, seems to be solitude and the nature of the creative experience. It has been on my mind a lot. In fact, it’s always on my mind.

I love it there, in the quiet, on my own, space to think and to make.

Does the material strike a chord with you?

Let me know.

See you next week!

Larry.
