Looking Back on a Magical Month

A year ago I had the good fortune to be the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center. That month has been on my mind a lot recently. The estate is spectacularly beautiful. The food is extraordinary. It is the people, though, that have stuck with me. Something about all being together and socializing at the end of long days. I’ve been trying to make more time to see my friends. We are so busy, though, and I’ve been in a place where I’m dependent on a car to get around.

At Bellagio, people I wanted to spend time with were literally next door. I miss that.
