“oh life to live, life already lived,
time that comes back in a swell of sea,
time that recedes without turning its head,
the past is not past, it is still passing by,
flowing silently into the next vanishing moment”
― Octavio Paz, Piedra del sol

Seventeen years since those three short months, and yet those short measures of time do it no justice. Everything that came after is in your shadow. First, haunted; now, renewed in timeless joie de vivre. You are mine, and I am yours.
Happy 17th, bro.

I remember Peter and that time so well. So very glad he remains in your heart and that you’ve found joy.
Beautiful, Karl.
Karl, this is so touching. I didn’t know.
