Subject: "Done with the Compass -- done with the Chart!" (almost...) Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 From: Nomi Teplow Hi Everyone! He's ALMOST there!!! I got a fax four hours ago, from what I assume again is a ship named "Pearl Venus"*, saying (verbatim): FR BILL: IS OK EXPECT TO BE IN "'HILO" ON WEDNESDAY! I LOVE YOU BILL So now that there is such a clear date of arrival (give or take a day or two, I assume) I shed all the doubts and vacillations which have plagued me since some of you sowed the idea in my head, and I called Hawaiian Airlines and got myself a ticket to go Tuesday to meet him there. About an hour ago, I finished a big "Woman of Valour" painting due for a Jewish Ritual show in September, and I filled-in almost all my print orders, so it looks like I can take a few days off without any qualms ("She girdeth her loins with strength, and maketh strong her arms..." -- Wow!..) And now that it's almost over, I'd like to thank you very much for your warm and steadfast support throughout this "Odyssey". It ment a lot to me! And as a way of "Thank You", here is one of Bill's most loved and quoted poems, by Emily Dickinson: Wild Nights -- Wild Nights! Futile -- the Winds -- Rowing in Eden -- 1861 Isn't that most beautiful? Aloha! *MV Pearl Venus links: (February, 2001) |
