No one knows the Dominican experience I just described better than you do. I think your legacy in Villa Esfuerzo and elsewhere put us literally and figuratively high up on the structure and the construct to which we were adding. I'll have some more on it in my August column. Take care... -- Sully Back atcha, amigo. No one knows the Dominican experience I just described better than you do.

Thank you, Carole. Life is full of doorways and windows, and now and then there is one that it is just tragic to miss. Probably most of the ones I go through don't matter, but I like to think I've learned to recognize the rare ones that do. More than that, there are doorways that become special if you bring the magic with you... -- Sully Oh, I’d like to live up to that. Thank you, Carole.

Really moving, Sully. I can just picture the love dance that went on between you and these people. You are such a special writer because you open yourself up to new experiences that others would find scary or too hard to tackle. There's no substitute for real magic and no half-way magic either. It's either there or it isn't. You go out and find it and bring it back to the timid and the thrill-seekers alike. Wow. Very powerful piece. Really moving, Sully.

Wow.

Should have added that a synth version of "Words" is actually my cell phone ring tone, adopted with great technical wizardry for something like the reasons given in the above post. :-) -- Sully p.s.

"It's only words, and words are all we have..." Yeah. It really comes down to that, doesn't it? How limited life would be if we couldn't share it. And how can you share it without words? The quality of communication is very much the quality of life. So thanks for that, Wayne. Your words are a personal treasure. -- Sully What’s the old Bee Gee’s/Boyzone song? “It’s only words, and words are all we have…” Yeah. It really comes down to that, doesn’t it?

You're absolutely right about the kids. Appreciate your putting it so well into words and feedback. The Dominican added dimensions that just beg to be shared. Thanks, Norma.
