writing with a fountain pen on handmade paper; the silence of longing; setting off on an adventure.

raising the barn; a gift of turquoise; standing up for an ideal.

a spiral staircase to the top; the spirit of kindness; an Etruscan vase unearthed.

charming feet and toes; encountering a dryad during the walk; completing the task.

a hot summer evening in the town; finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; visiting a friend on Faroe Island.

the shimmer of poplar leaves; meeting fingertips in acknowledgment; being told a story.

an empty shelf, gleaming; buying a new house; the new moon in Leo.

kissing in the hayloft; flying first class; the oldest book in the world.

the sweetness of shade; realizing the truth; meeting a troll under the bridge.

climbing to the pinnacle and looking down; fairy-tales; fragrance of casablanca lilies.

a room with only a vase of flowers in it; standing up for truth; being invited to Paris for a long weekend.

catching the bouquet; mesmerized by the violinist; the feel of silk stockings.

sleeping in the apple orchard; the best feeling in the world; Borobudur.

deciphering the code; the path through the woods at dusk; strength of mind.

the House of Wonders; listening to an inner voice; a goddess floating towards you on a scallop shell.

docking after the storm; the pleasure of a surprise gift; a house designed like a spider’s web.

flying there on a magic carpet; overcoming fear; healing the sacred island of Moloka’i.

the guitar players on the stoop of the house in Naples; listening to the ocean in a shell; following your longing.
