  • There's no place like third place.

    I'm not talking about winning and losing here, or races or sports or politics, but something far more important: the simple art of living your life in the real world. In that world, as someone has pointed out, all communities — and therefore all members of communities — need a "third place." It's not your home. It's not where you work. Those are the first two places. No, it's the place where you go to, um, be.
    —Stephen Hunter, "Shear Gladness," The Washington Post, September 13, 2002


    My third place most recently has been Dreamland, the cemetery where I run, reflect and write. 


    What's your 'third place' ?
