“We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life, or possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.”

A firm eye…a stiff breeze..he is the captain on board and ready to put out to sea ( of his life)! I hope for him, he knows that HAND..that even holds and protects him!
This is a lovely portrait, more than just his dreams evident in it.
My friend Julie is just about to have her first novel published. Truly a dream come true for her and at the end of quite a long strange journey. She began writing it, as far as I know, perhaps fifteen years ago. She followed the traditional practice of circulating it to a number of literary agents, had it rejected by most and was encouraged to rewrite it by others, which she did. Finally it was accepted by one and eventually she signed a publishing deal. Before the ink was dry on it, she was 80,000 words into her third book, having finished number two during the process of looking for a publisher for the first one.
Thanks, Peter.
What a wonderful “story” Greg. Give your friend my sincere congratulations and please tell us the name of her book.
“Scent of the Soul” by Julie Doherty. Release date 2/11/15.
Wonderful, thank you.
Wonderful !
Yet again, Peter, such insightful and engaging portraiture. A beautiful image demonstrating your profound talent. One day, Coelho may want your own work for a book-cover? Two masters in one post… Superb!
