July 2025 Postcard from Rachielle Sheffler:
Firenze - Basilica S. Croce with Bernardo Rosselino's " Tomb of Leonardo Bruni"
A transcribed message that reads like a prose poem:
If I were to pick one word to describe my recent visit to Italy, it would be immense. From Juliet’s balcony to the cobblestones Galileo and Michelangelo trod on, from glassblowing in Murano to lace making to Sunday Mass in Italian at the Pisa Cathedral. I wonder how small I was in the universe. Yet across the world in California, the plants are the same: oleander, olive, grape, mandevilla, magnolia, corn, and yes, weeds.
