From My Sketchbook:
Carolyn is an artist friend of mine that I met a few years ago while she was here in my area, taking some time to have a personal retreat, make some art, have a solo art exhibit, and work on a writing project. After several months here in Southeastern Pennsylvania, as she was about to fly back home to the Virgin Islands, she told my wife and I about some of the many places she would like to take us to when we would someday come to see her.
At the time, I passed this offer off as a kindly meant expression of friendship, a distant and unlikely dream, and yet here in this sketch I am realizing that dream for a second time as I again visited her home and studio, and recorded a memory for myself of Carolyn and my wife Carol visiting and sharing a moment together. If someone should ever kindly invite you to the Virgin Islands,… don’t dream about it for too long, just simply go,… (and remember to take your art or writing materials with you!)
