The old lady cared for flowers,
Only to watch butterflies in the afternoon!
Pescia, Italy, Summer 2007
*You are gone, and in one of the last days, we met your old neighbor by her garden, where she sat in the afternoons, watching the many butterflies that enjoyed the tender corners of her hard work. When we complimented her flowers, she told us, she does it all for the butterflies. It took us a moment to grasp what she just said; the understanding came in a small pressure shared between our hands. That moment of understanding is what keeps me going without you.
