La Dolce Vita

© 2011 Dana Norberg

my heart longs for friends far away
it misses a language not yet its own
it dreams of lively gatherings, animated conversation
wholesome food, great wine and plump olives
my heart longs to be away to a life 
lived less hastily and with verve

    Very lovely while also sentimental, yet happy? Oddly, it's all of these at the same time.

    This is so wistful and a tad sad... Are friends far away?
    My original family is miles away too.
    Blessings,
    Eliz

      Yes, a little sad. I have several good friends in Europe that I have not seen for quite some time. I"m feeling the need to get back and visit... :-(
