Is there ever just a normal day? by @doveen

Dreams do come true. Reunions with beloved friends in London, celebrated my birthday in Paris, reunion in Florence, now in Noto, Sicily, all by train. It’s never too late to tell your story, get kisses from old friends, gather memories and make new ones. 🌺❤️ 🕊️ by @doveen

One Dove singing to another dove. Happy Mother’s Day! Dona Dona, a song my grandmother sang to me, a song of peace and freedom. A dove nested 3 years in a row on my front door, right in the top of the faux forsythia wreath I bought @Marshalls in Queens, NY. Will she come back this year? @doveoftheeast #dovenestonmydoor #dovesbringmemessages #doveofpeace by @doveen

Life’s a beach. salty skin. waves and sand. friends and memories. the laze and haze of long days. sunsets. Summer is coming soon after the chilly rain that beckons spring.

Istanbul is for old souls. When I crossed the Bosphorous the river sang to me an ancient lament of loss and love as familiar to me as my own voice.

Across that salty strait, I could taste the centuries of tears.
I recognized myself in Istanbul, I was two continents in one heart, one city where I knew I had lived before.

Was I the concubine in the hammam lying on the heated stones as the light came through the domed ceiling? Or was I the Sultan choosing my favorite? Was I the man in uniform, leaving for the front, kissing on the ferry, a Constantinople farewell, or was I the woman who would wait in vain for his return?

Mom, what were you like in the 80s? This is for my golden dragon boy born in 2000. Grateful for the bffs I still have in my life. We all miss you Carolyn Wendt ❤️ We met in high school in DC, she met me in Paris in Jardin Luxembourg (last pic) and took the photo of me in the hammock in Spain.
