angels at sea...

last boat to america...

For those of you wondering... I'm alive and very well on the sea again. Last stop on European shores... next stop, America.

last rites...

bon voyage...

My last Tuesday in Switzerland...

Surrender seems to be working. All the last things are upon me now and the inevitable end is starting to look more sweet than bitter... I think the hardest part of this ending is behind me... and the hardest part of the beginning still seems far away...

Fall -- it's my season of change. There's something very fitting about leaving a place the same time of the year I arrived. A full circle, fulfilling familiarity... Last moments of warmth and love and all things familiar... and this suspicious feeling I haven't seen the last of this place or these people.

A week from today I'll be sailing again...
