It finally happened... My obituary for my great friend was published in The Guardian - and in exuberance Serafina took to the sky, finally flying free with the birds and singing along with Melody Gardot:
Hey little baby
Don't you cry
We got that sunny morning waiting on us now
There's a light at

At dawn, it can sometimes feel as if the barrier between the visible and the invisible becomes more permeable. Serafina and I had been discussing Rilke before she ventured up river. Left

Together with all the beautiful people at Sacré-Coeur, we greeted Paris at dawn. We then cycled into Bois de Bolougne, marvelling at Frank Gehry's cloud of a building, and then up along the Seine to Place de la Concorde where we spotted the critically endangered fish-eating reptile Indian Gharial (Gavialis

Serafina and I had another dose of dawn therapy, cycling into the beautiful landscape, getting to magical Civita de Bagnoregio before sunrise. Serafina flew, free as a bird and I heard her singing, loud and clear:
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And

Serafina and I was up before dawn, carrying wonderful memories of our beloved friend on the long bike ride around large volcanic Lago di Bolsena. A near perfect morning turned into a memorable day

Bereft, I ran to the great river near Port Meadow, the great flood plain full of the many tears from grief and ongoing wars. Serafina once again served as a my daemon of sorrow. And somehow my friend was there with us as the sun slowly rose, revealing another day in the endless book of time.

Over the last weeks, Serafina and I have been holding vigil, sleeping very little as my friend has been slipping away. Keeping sorrow at bay has required many dawn expeditions and we have come to learn much about the subtle changes in the light.
