A New Season
One day in February 2010, I spent great time with a wonderful young woman, very dear to my heart, who was about to embark on a journey, to live and study in Spain for a semester. The next day I wrote about her in a post titled Bon Voyage, My Friend. Two-and-a-half years have passed. …

The World Just Keeps on Turning…
With 30 minutes to official sunrise, I’ve been watching the moon make its journey across the sky for hours. Wide awake since 3a.m., with bright moonlight streaming through the window, I’m thinking of two people in these early morning hours.
