Yesterday we received an e-mail from Nelle. Some of you might remember her? I once wrote a post about Feeling Safe and Nelle featured there too. I thought it was the perfect send off as T. and I make preparations today for the grand trip. We leave tomorrow.
Dear Rhodes Roadies,
... Thinking about your trip makes me a bit envious. A real vacation--no conference, no duties, no networking--sounds fabulous. The weather will be perfectly swimable I hope. Sitting in a seaside taverna eating a tomato and cucumber salad. Mmmm. Finding strawberries ripe enough to put over goat milk yogurt sold roadside in little brown ceramic bowls. MMmmmm.
And Tamar what a perfect time to reconnect with another part of your past. I think we love our parents more when we love them as real people as well as parents. We don't displace our childhood needs and adoration and fears. But when we comprehend our parents' lives from our own adult perspective, we add understanding, appreciation and forgiveness. That multi-layered love is larger.
Enjoy it all
Much love
Nelle
Well, we finally decided we will be taking a computer. Neither of us can face complete disconnection for 10 full days! So, am not sure about posting but it could turn out quite handy to share the events as they happen ...
What an indescribably warm and safe feeling it is to know that my little intimate band of readers will be here and there and everywhere. Yassou!
Hey Frank! I fixed the date/time problem. Thanks so much for alerting me to it.
Am back, back, back ...

Yes! Happy birthday! Are you back yet with the stories of your adventures?
tech quibble: I wish you would date stamp your posts. As time goes by in your new space it could be handy. I see that the comments have date/time stamps so one can always figure it out, but - well - I like to be able to see the date that an item has been posted.
r u back yet?

Ooh, how jealous (but happily so) I am for you! Can't wait to hear all about it -
