A bright spirit has no sooner landed on earth
-
-
than her mom flies her to Irish islands on travel assignment…
-
-
and on to western Crete…
-
-
to charm her Greek father… unsuccessfully..
-
-
After some taverna-hopping in Chania,
-
-
it’s back to the books and to our loved ones;
-
-
back to the meadows of France,
-
-
A Double-Lumen Hickman Catheter in her heart
-
-
(and when that breaks a Port-a-cath) and 24-hr beeping machines.
-
-
Love around the clock….
-
-
and the greatest nurses.
-
-
Nor does no hair and no immune system mean no friends.
-
-
Many escapes are attempted…..
-
-
before the final escape–discharge into the Real World.
-
-
Back on the road….
-
-
Eurydice is hungry for adventure.
-
-
Fairy tale castles for Condé Nast Traveler….
-
-
French farmhouses inhabited by Bluebeards…
-
-
Returns to Greece, to Leonard Cohen’s isle of Hydra…..
-
-
Walks through the endless Camargue…
-
-
Sweet pastries for a sweet girl…
-
-
A consummate Parisienne.
-
-
she loses him too soon, by far.
-
-
We give him to the desert sky he loved,
-
-
and to the rock and the California winds.
-
-
The palm trees, too, rustle with our loves.
-
-
Eurydice becomes a climber, like him…
-
-
at home in Corsica and in the world…
-
-
… also in our friend Russell’s gym socks…
-
-
and in his embrace.
-
-
We meet new friends and surprises.
-
-
The voyage goes on…. where to we shall see.
