I don't know what to say here yet-- everything from this trip is still too fresh on my mind. I hate traveling halfway across the world in a day, because though my body is back where I belong, my soul hasn't yet followed. I've made it to the other side of the the long succession of flights home, followed by a marvelous dinner with D and the Frankenberrys, and things may be quiet around here for the next few days while I order my heart and my mind and spend some time mending my soul. For now I sit, memories in mind, and have nothing really to say here, except this:
To all of you who made this trip such a blessing in spite of everything, know that I love you and hold you dear in my heart, second to none. The memories I have with you will be like treasured jewels I take out from time to time to remind me of how lucky I am, always, to know you and to love you and to be blessed enough to spend such intense time with you even for so short a period, even when it inevitably has to come to an end all too soon. Though you may worry, I assure you that I won't forget them, and that you are in my heart always.
Therefore, I'd like to dedicate to you the song that has stayed with me throughout these past couple of weeks, Cyndi Lauper's beautiful rendition of La Vie En Rose:

I can't believe you posted so soon after getting back. I couldn't even walk after dinner! Though of course it's 2:30 AM now and I'm wide awake. And the funk is bad.
