Variation 9: Walking on Water

Across the lagoon from where I live is the island of Giudecca. Normally cut off from the main island by the sea and only reachable by boat, there is nevertheless one day in the year when you can walk across a pontoon bridge which ends at the steps of the Redentore Church. That day was last Sunday, and I joined Venetians and visitors to walk across the water. My goal was not only the church, but

what lay behind it. I’m not sure I’m quite ready to share the secret of the place I sought: it’s a place of my dreams and maybe a whole new set of variations…one day I’ll divulge more maybe, but there are actions to be taken. Stay tuned.
