I love the contrast between the sharp, bright, lucid sensations of Chautauqua and the Covid-induced brain and body fog that follows. In a nutshell, don't we inhabit that alternating worlds of clarity and fog?
Those contrasts—light and dark, ecstasy and misery, fog and clarity, well and ill—all within the span of a single week, were indeed what made my experience stand out in such relief from the day-to-day. I will say, in hindsight and with perspective of more time, those opposites smudge and blend together into a picture-perfect whole.
Sounds like you had a wonderful visit to CHQ! I’ve been there many, many times over the years and it was lovely to revisit through your eyes. Get well soon!
Enjoying your writing adventures as always (have been an ardent Robin-reader and admirer for at least a decade). Sorry your lovely Chataqua stay ended so badly. Harder after such a good experience. Looking forward to seeing you bounce back...wishing away long COVID 🤞.

Thank you! Glad you’ve had a chance to enjoy this magical place, Anne Marie! Any favorite CHQ memories to share?

What a beautiful picture of the Chautauqua experience! Thank you for sharing. I hope you recover quickly and feel better soon.
Thank you, Janeane. On the mend--I hope!
