Now, let me just give you a glimpse of how 'dream like' it all was.
If you managed to be there, then I am sure you grasped the feeling and were able to take a ride in that exotic voyage of his.
I was laughing when he used his 'cavaquinho' as a paddle, and I was afraid when the sun decided to sunk in the gap between both horizons.
Apparently, I was not the only one. Some of you had similar moments of joy and bewilderment, laughing at our non-conventional hero and hoping for a good ending. It came, our voyage was over in such a short time, that it was unfair the reading of only one story.
The question and answer part was the hardest for everyone apparently. We felt numb, and still intoxicated with the imagery he so calmly depicted, some of us grasping for air as we slowly arrived from those dream places. Steadily our session came to an end. Longing for a next visit was the feeling that stayed.
We wish all the best to Rhys, and that his awe-inspiring stories, may inspire future writers as he once was by others.

How many of you saw the horizon or the sunset or the stars from a different light after Rhy's visit?
A title for a piece of creative writing "Beyond the glow" or of your own making?

What a lovely quote... No awe or bewilderment or any of those mighty things you seem so intent on imparting but still, what a quote. And what a shame those wonderful words didn't spring into your mind when you were so 'honourably' bad-mouthing Professor Ceia in your little blog. I wonder what part of that was a result of 'education'.
