mucha mucha

life goes on here in madrid. it is wonderful to come back and see the city through new eyes. not only have my friend's and their lives changed, the city itself has changed in many ways... and i see even more clearly i have too. i am overwhelmed by memories that i forgot i had until i walk by a building, cross a foot bridge, see a longtime friend... i am reminded of the girl i was when i lived here, the girl i seem to be now, and it's wonderful to imagine who i hope to be... when i left new york the sun was hight in the sky and warmth was in the air. here in madrid it is cool, rainy and breezy. i like the heat, so i must wait until the powers that be say that the sun can shine on this side of the pond. while walking in the rain the other day, i found my way to the first 'mucha' exhibit in spain. i've seen the art work before, but i've not had the opportunity to study the artist, or take a moment to ponder his creations. beautiful women in the midst of nature. i am moved and excited about having the time to roam around the city while my mind reflects upon what moves me externally as well as internally... oh, i got my luggage back after a few days. i was happy to see my stuff... creature comforts you know. and i'm working out the living arrangements with the help of friends. poco a poco...
