A more profound sort of love.

I’ve been living nearly three months in Sardinia. And it’s two months before I return to Minnesota. And I’m thinking, this sort of life was once beyond my imagination. And now it’s almost like an illusion. A dream. But oh, so real. Because I met my Italian true love. A little over five years ago.  It just happened. Everything falling into place. Maybe it was 50 years ago that I  read D.H. Lawrence’s book, ‘The Sea and Sardinia.’  About the endearing love he cultivated for Sardinia in his travels in the 1920s. And now here I am. Cultivating a similar love. In ways maybe more profound than Lawrence's. Certainly it is for me. Not only for the land. But for my very real and personal true love.  –Jim Broede
