-severe nostalgia-

the brisk air of the North. six people on a mountaintop of trees extending their branches onto a mediterranean eternity, hanging on to threads of childhood and a love of life. a walk to remember. Nuns from India and friends with jokes to no end. Almaza and carrots-dipped-in-lemon. a view from a view. and what a view! tongue-twisting roadlets and political banners and political banter. GIBRAN. a valley of cherry rooftops and forlorn rocks jutting among shrubbing trees. an echo of echoes. friends thirsty for a taste of a land that is theirs but is shrivelling away with distance.
margaritas and tales of the Caribbean perched on a balcony perched over a land of sea so blue that it melted the curving sky. a sun that sets in the Sea. always in the Sea.
moments frozen in time and in film, in memory too.
it was such a perfect day.
