Perugia, Italy November 13, 2025 “No words need be spoken, but if they must, let love be on thy lips.” I’ve been waiting for the right moment to offer this note of gratitude, love and reflection.

After convalescing in the quiet hills of Umbria—allowing my strength to return before the long journey home—I’ve begun integrating the deeper outcome of this unexpected (and unmistakably soul-planned) crisis. You may be wondering what that outcome is.
