    At the church door, between this world and one of hope, all bathed in afternoon haze, three generations stand together. Smiles hover as families and friends meet again, now bonding through a wedding and a baptism. Instantly everything makes sense; life continues. Everyone shares happiness. It is good. It is good to be back home. by: zvonimir Views[430] Finally arrived! Gentle song of sea birds fulfil the image of a perfect afternoon; embraced in crisp, salty air, Sumartin glows like a city vista painting of a Renaissance master; everything is there as it should be, proportioned as best of memories: both nearness of sea and distance of mountains, generation houses, narrow pathways, stone walls and docks, and even that puffy, little cloud above utters ‘Welcome back’. by: zvonimir Views[250] Driving though winding, narrow roads of the island and inhaling scents of Mediterranean herbs coming through open windows, awakens more memories.
