ok, so i am reminded of a trip to washington dc...to the portrait gallery...near the convention center...whereupon i saw the portrait of edna st. vincent millay.......the following words were attached...
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But, ah, my foes, and, oh, my friends -
it gives a lovely light.
i appreciated these words more when i was working myself to death....these days i am just praying that the sale goes through and i can travel again........this time to rome.....maybe a parting trip with the world's best traveler(s).........traveling is a state not suited to all.........especially to those who do not travel in their off-time.....anticipating where they might go if they had the chance.......i was warmed to the bone when i threw out the possible destination this evening, and my potential traveling companion verbalized the potential highlights...without regard for a guidebook.........that is a worldclass traveler in my book........but can i handle the jet-lag involved in a short trip.............i suppose if the sun is out and the weather is warm.....not like brussels where we slept the 1st day away............................
