Thinking about Enrique.
If Enrique had a planet, it must have been Mercury. Close to the Sun, quick, always warm and sometimes hot, and with rapid changes.
He was, as we saw him, a great reader and sensitive to the beauty of art and literature, but when he visited us in Canyon, he took up "his" place on the window sofa, and immersed himself in Nature. His book would temporarily take second place, and he would closely chronicle the endless wars between the Steller Jays and the squirrels, the occasional deer and the rich foliage of the oaks, the bays, and Theo's garden.
We had hoped that somehow he would be able to visit us by the sea. He would have had his choice of places to recline and read, or to sit and contemplate land, plants, birds, and water.
