Valuable input. Life is about the “having had”. Not the “keeping”. Experience is more valuable than possessions.

A dear friend is a novelist who lived in Paris in the 60s. Our weekly coffees, where I just sit and listen, are a treasure. The word for what I feel, listening to him and reading this poem, is anemoia - nostalgia for a time I never even knew.

Need to read more Gilbert, I think...
