In the center of your heart…

“Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what’s next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.”

 

Quotation taken from the poetic essay entitled, “Youth” by Samuel Ullman (1840-1924)

RopeWalk Writer’s Retreat

 

RopeWalk 2009 – June 7-13

---

The weeklong summer RopeWalk Writers Retreat gives participants an opportunity to attend workshops and to confer privately with one of four prominent writers. Historic New Harmony, Indiana, site of two nineteenth-century utopian experiments, provides an ideal setting for this event with its retreat-like atmosphere and its history of creative and intellectual achievement. At RopeWalk you will be encouraged to write, not simply listen to others talk about writing. In addition, several writers will present papers or give lectures, open to all participants, on aspects of the craft of writing.

Registration deadline is before May 2nd.

 

For additional information, call 812/464-1863 or 800/467-8600. E-mail inquiries should be addressed to ropewalk@usi.edu.  Or go to their website for details: http://www.usi.edu/ropewalk/summer.asp
