It was very moving for me to meet my friend Adina, from Romania, yesterday in NYC. She was my close friend when I left Romania, in 1986, and for years after that, we wrote to each other. She brought me all the letters I sent her from Canada, which I am so grateful for. They're not easy to read, because of all the feelings they bring back, but they give me a time capsule I can revisit and share.
This is Adina and I at the New York Public Library.

And funny enough, on the train to NY, I ended up sitting next to a woman who was wearing bee shoes. I was wearing my flowery Doc Martens. So I told her: you got the bees, I got the flowers. And she laughed and then we started talking about bees and pollinators.

Peace
