Dear Carole and Neil,
.....I find my self daydreaming all the time about my favorite
moments….; Seeing the beautiful shrines to the Madonna along the
roadside, Being woken up by the church bells, The patchwork of
the soft muted grey green of the olive trees and the brighter green
lines of the grape vines, running
my hand along the stone walls, going to sleep with my soul full of
all the art I had seen that day and my stomach full of wonderful
Umbrian food,,
standing before a Perugino fresco in
wonderment, and not having to explain to the Italians why it moved
me to tears,
walking through thresholds as people
had done before me for hundreds of years … a shared moment linking
humanity through the ages, the elation of leaving the opera in
Spoleto ….an enchanted evening,
the amazing door handles,
feeling inspired to learn more about
this well trodden land and its generous people. I would like thank you with all my
heart. Cate Ashford. New Zealand |
