Call Me By Your Name

Strangely, I always think of winter as a presence and summer as an interlude.

 

Summer is always a passage, to go from state to another, from one feeling to another, to make mistakes, suffer for them, and never regret them.

 

So much of our lives is a litany of inevitabilities, and truthfully and figuratively, summers are when we let our souls seek truths, and however much the anguish, we look back at that time and have no regrets.

In my last episode I had asked you what are the ordinary things you miss most in these trying times. So many of you wrote in. And with such tenderness and nostalgia. Hear what you had to say in this episode!
