Longing for Vienna
>> Sunday, April 26, 2009

I awakened this morning longing to be in Vienna. Perhaps its not the city so much as what the city means to me, but all the same, I wish I were there today.
One of today's most beautiful moments

One of the most beautiful and meaningful moments for me today was the quartet composed by John Williams on the old Shaker tune, "Simple Gifts". Izak Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma were brilliant as always.
Congratulations, Mr. President!

I've found myself dreaming about our possible move back to Steph's home in Ventura a lot lately, and what it would mean for me and for our family. I find myself growing more and more hopeful every day. I think of the time, almost ten years ago that I flew out there to meet Steph, face-to-face for the first time, and how I fell in love with the quirky, artsy, beach town and a life that I could only dream of. Now I'm looking at the real possibility of actually living that life in that town. I'm afraid to breathe on it, believing that if I want too hard that the dream will be crushed and blow away in a million pieces, just as the dream for Vienna did. So for now, I'm still holding it at an arm's distance hoping that very soon it will move in closer.
