At the core of our hearts are those things we have left behind...
"What was the most beautiful thing you left behind?"
"Finest of all the things I have left is the light of the sun,
Next to that the brilliant stars and the face of the moon,
Cucumbers in their season, too, and apples and pears."
Praxilla of Sicyon
Hymn to Adonis
5th century B.C.
translated by Bernard Knox

Oh...dear Lila...what a glowing reminder of our time in Tangiers.
And the quote. Quite simply...brilliant.
You really are a marvel.
