Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

corner view~dream

When Annabel was about five she once asked a swami that we know, "Is this all God's dream?" 

"It's your dream," he answered.  "And when you wake up, you see God."

How convenient to have a swami as a family friend -- the perfect person to answer a 5-year-old's question!

That beautiful basket of lemons reminds me of one of my favorite poems by the Italian poet Eugenio Montale called "I Limoni."
