Well, we’ve arrived on Mykonos. So much has changed. Or is
it we have changed? Time may answer that. Or not. But, no matter, the creative juices are
flowing, and CNN is tucked away, lost in the white noise background of
competing local craziness, not trumpeting breaking news inside my eyelids. As I said, things have changed.
Everywhere. It’s palpable.
But I’m not going to talk about that this week. This is time
for easing back into the old life, and what better way to do that than through a
return to the sea, the source of all life.
So, here’s a photo essay taken on a spur-of-the-moment
sunset run between the island’s new harbor in Tourlos and the old port in old
town Mykonos. Nothing fancy, just a
quick jaunty cruise with friends in their “zodiac.” It’s precisely these sorts of unscripted moments
that remind me I’m home again. And what
else can one hope for than to be back among so many friends who are more like
family—and allow me to play the crazy uncle. :)

| We're off! |

| Entering the old port |
 |
| Huddled masses |

| Our Captain's imitation of the Statue of Liberty, Greek Style |
 |
| A few ships along the way |
 |
| Dusk, and time to move on. |
Until anon...

ReplyDeleteHis punished keyboard speaks,
Through his reflecting camera we see
The wonder of the world.
EvKa, You're a Poet,
ReplyDeleteEven if you don't know it.
Your feet show it,
They're Long fellow.
:-) With apologies to A.E. Housman...
DeleteI want to see picture of Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI see her, but not well enough.
DeleteShe was in a hiding mode. I'll have to coax her out with kind, sweet words. Now all I have to do is find someone who can speak them. :)
DeleteFeeling welcomed home. Always different . Always the same. Here we go, again!
ReplyDeleteAnd again...we hope. And pray.
DeleteHow very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, LJ, that's how I was hoping caring folks would feel!
DeleteIt is beautiful! But torture to see as I look out of my living room window where a six-story is being constructed, thus blocking out my only source of sun and sky.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, Kathy, your primary source of sunshine comes from within. :)
DeleteCongratulations, Jeff, on the Town & Country pick! Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EvKa. I feel as if I just won an Oscar--and you're all invited to the After Party.
