It's better to be in Eleuthera than in a north-eastern blizzard. Wish you were here: Vangerry. N.B. 20.06.2008.If you want to see Eleuthera check out 'The Eleutheran Adventure' winner of the Cannes Documentary Film Festival 2008. You'll even glimpse Gerry discussing his own grave!
ELEUTHERA Eleuthera has the same latitude as Lilliput, And the same longitude as Brobdingnag - Two well-known islands Of other archipelagoes... Every now and then, When we are away from her, She will materialize, Over the lazy, hazy horizons Of our hearts and minds, Like the memory of a lost dream. Sail through the Scylla-Charbydis Cut, And limbo lightly to her calypso shore. She is so undramatically free, That wind-changed home thoughts, Become her thoughts, Become our thoughts, Become your thoughts... New memories of lost and found tranquility. Eleuthera's biggetty, bold and bad! She's happy, carefree, glad! She's singing, swinging, Church-bell ringing! She's... Full of people like you and me! Full of people like you and me!

Yes, I can see it and I can feel it.
Then I can hear it!
I hear those church bells ringing.
A beautiful write!

Amen

I love your enchanted island - the happy, carefree, swinging one - to which you can take your dreams ...

Such a place we need if merely for our fantasies.
