Today, as a century ago, the Berkshires provide retreat for artists and city slickers. On the recent holiday, I joined extended family in that setting thanks to host sisters DePorte.
At a point the old farmhouse includes a range of publishing types—two newsroom retirees; a book author formerly with the Department of State; a craftsman of bronze municipal signs; a pair of travel editors; a freelance startup, me; and a recent multimedia journalism Emerson grad. Besides being excellent Parker Brothers Balderdash competitors, members of the crew provide an inspirational nudge.
From the company of extended family, as from area landscapes and history, my holiday weekend in the Berkshires educes verve. The emotion that gushes from within after time in a place with mountains, hills, forests, farms, family is astounding. I've yet to recover.
