Namaste blah-g family... I'm back from Italy. It was literally everything. But first - shout out Japan. These days about 100 people come around here every day to see what's going on. And a lot of the people are from Japan... x o x I retuned from Italy on Tuesday night. I cannot, and probably don't have to, attempt to express what the trip meant to me. From Veroli to Sperlonga with a quick dip to Rome... it didn't matter where I was. It was who...
About 20 hours from now, my plane will take off from JFK to Berlin, and then fly from Berlin to Rome. At this point, I feel like I am essentially paralyzed with excitement.

How many times I've said, "I wish it was Saturday." 5. How many minutes until I probably cry again. 4. How...
Tahiti is everything I needed. Even though I had a nervous breakdown about it like 72 hours ago... Meanwhile, I have fallen madly in love with an Italian luthier. I don't even have anything to say about it. I mean, I have everything to say about it - but it's a new shade of sacred to me. Sacred, in my life, tends to involve secrets. So I probably won't talk too much about him in these parts. But put short, he builds double basses and sends me...
