Happiness 6-17
dozing under the umbrella; gliding over and understanding the Nazca lines in Peru; a small gesture of appreciation.

a path toward the sky; piles of floor pillows; plucking the ripe lemon in the rain.
Happiness 6-15
a winking statue; being handed the medal; the quiet breathing of a sleeping tiger.
Thank you, Dad
I wrote this tribute to my dad three years ago. Since then, he turned 94 years old, my mother died, he finished a book he was writing, and he has begun a new one. Time to re-post!
“Life is a fatal adventure. It can only have one end. So why not make it as far-ranging and free as possible?” Alexander Eliot
90th birthday, with his grandchildren
When my dad was forty and I was four, he was awarded Guggenheim Fellowship, and we lived in Spain for a year. There he wrote Sight and Insight – on how to ‘see’ art (This has recently been reissued by BookPartners.) While he was there, he visited Delphi in Greece, and, along with my travel-loving mother, questioned why we should return to the hectic, stressful race of Manhattan magazine publishing when he could raise his family in Greece.
Happiness 6-14
enchanted berries; a crested ibis gliding past your window; good news.

a miniature world; pushing the envelope; tickling the softness of a turtle’s belly.
