I have an Argentine friend with whom I share three qualities: eclecticism, a love for science, and a love for literature and writing. That’s why we’ve followed a somewhat winding career path – we’ve gone from medicine to research (he, science; I, humanities and social sciences) to writing (he essays; I, poems and essays). I used to visit him whenever I went to NYC to chat, and he would always have a book ready for me.
When I had the injury, he and his wife came to Beacon thanks to a ride by a (very generous) mutual friend, and it made me really happy. Since then, he has been emailing me jokes, his own essays, videos with beautiful music, and slide shows of the most gorgeous images. What the videos and the images have in common is that they show outdoor scenes. Every time I watch them, I’m outside: snowy peaks; colorful houses; vivid greenery; a park by the river; fiery trees and houses.
I watch and listen to them, and they give me such joy. I don’t need to leave my bed or the house – I’m traveling anyway.
