Christy, I'm so busy convincing myself not to burst into tears!
Yes, I am lucky. Thanks to my Mum who died last October and had a little left-over happiness to share with her 7 kids. And thanks to Dad too, who died in '92. They travelled there before me so they would both be very, very happy with how I'm spending their love.
Did you know that death in a dream means simply death of a part of you that wasn't so useful, good or important and more. It is actually the time of birth of a new and significant aspect of your life.
We've seen glimpses of this on this blog as you've struggled with the light and shadows and had breakthroughs that have opened your whole being to future works.
If it's possible to get close enough to touch (which I doubt) I would certainly do that - and then I would cry for sure. It sure is a powerful work. How could any mother not cry?
In the meantime I'm trying to learn my new camera so that I can take decent pictures of everything and everywhere. I'm not taking my computer because I intend to just look and soak up as much as I possibly can - with my camera too, of course. So I will be sending snail mail to you, Christy. *The* photo with the *Christy* sign may have to wait till I get home at the end of January.
I will have 2 travelling companions - my 62 year old friend and her 11 year old granddaughter. So I want us to *share* the entire 7 weeks experiences and the truly awesome moments - somehow this technology doesn't belong to what I'm hoping for.
Then we can all write longhand for a change, in the cosiness of the warmth inside on winter evenings.
Takes pics of everything! We will all live vicariously through you.
BTW. Rossi has been to Rome before, her husband was actually Italian. you should hit her up and ask her about it, she may be able to tell you some things the tour guides don't print.
I did not know that about dreaming about death. I knew it scared the beejeesus out of me and I decided right then and there no Peita would kill me because I WILL NOT paint one.

Oh, what a great idea! LOL We will certainly do that!
It is so hard to look at this statue and not see the raw emotion of it.
I know I will never paint a Pieta. But if I did it would simply follow and mimick this statue.
(I can't paint a Pieta, because I dreamed once that I did. And I dreamed just as I signed it, I died. It was so real I woke up shaking and crying.)
I will never paint a Pieta. But I am glad for Michelangelo, because really, who could have done it better anyways?
no one.
Oh, and if you can get close enough to touch it, please just touch his hand for me?
Seriously, I want to know how it feels on your fingers!
I would give anything to touch a Michelangelo!
You are going to have a blast! I am so jealous!
