I flit back and forth. Between Minnesota and Sardinia/Italy. Yes, that’s
another part of my life. Two different
worlds. It’s a nice arrangement. I like the differences. Between Italians and
Americans. For one thing, they speak
different languages. Though my Italian
true love speaks both. In fact, she teaches English and English literature. She
knows far more about Shakespeare than I do.
About other things, too. She’s well-versed. Of course, I know things she
doesn’t know. More evidence that, as a couple, we balance each other. We thrive
on our differences. Put it this way: We have helped each other become more
whole. Better human beings. That’s the nature of true love. Anyway, here
I come, Sardinia. My new-found second homeland.
My wonderful escape. From Minnesota
winter. The Sardinia natives complain. When
overnight temperatures dip into the 40s. I have no complaint. For me, that’s a
heat wave. –Jim Broede
