I Go Walkin' After Midnight

The vineyards are bathed in moonlight, and the enchanting company of fourteen intellectuals cannot be overstated. With flowers, well-timed cards, and a cake from new friends, a trans-Atlantic birthday celebration brought a centered peace. Thank you all for proliferating love and know that I hold each of you dearly here in my heart. Bastille Day libations and liberation preceded a trip to the fortress in Spoleto and shopping in Foligno. The sweet bloom of eastern freedom is already beginning to close and change to a western wind. Our last trip, a jaunt to hometown Montefalco and surrounding winery, begins the first step on a long downhill trek home. With open, loving arms, I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
