2010

Although Mexico was not the right place to pursue a life, we were able to unplug for some time to come back with renewed vigor, and although Philippine and I are no longer romantically linked we remain dear friends.  I wouldn't have it any other way. Gracias Mexico.

When it was time to say goodbye to the sea, I drove straight back from Sayulita to Santa Fe in twenty-nine hours. In Mexico, the speed on the toll roads, are reminiscent of the Autobahn in Germany. I only stopped in Mazatlan to watch the semi-final of the World Cup between Spain and Germany. Go Spain!

Well, little more than a day later, I was at my friend Marie’s Bed and Breakfast, the Crystal Mesa Farm, where I settled in and have remained ever since. It is such a wonderful place with the perfect back porch. During moonlit nights, it feels as if here, one lives at the bottom of the ocean.

It was time to reconnect. To go back to BETWEEN LIFETIMES with a vengeance. My friends and I started WISDOM TRIBE FILMS. It is a blessing to work with people one likes and respects. I actually love Carrie and Lauri. Carrie is in New York, although she lives on the Jersey side in Demarest. Lauri is an incredibly intuitive camera guy with a Finnish name who knows why the whites in the monitor are not true whites -because they are in the wrong format or whatever. He amazes me with his mind that can easily understand a digital image or a stroke of pastel when he paints on canvas.
