You’ve expressed the complications of making sense of our divorced parents lives so powerfully and the way you weave their art through the maze that marks the phases of your life is beautiful
What a beautiful braid you've created, Eliza, from our tiny presence in Time to the majesties of the galaxy and the beauty of a moment painting in a place with no roads, eating fish on Hydra and Corfu, a moment that echoed years later in a takeout order from Chinatown. Breathtaking

Thank you, Liz. More than anything, I love reaching others with divorced parents in my writing.

Thank you so much, Robin
Such beautiful art you have to reconnect your memories which you do with such elegance !
Thank you, Marjorie
Rainy day in Hydra is so lovely. And so is your writing.
Thank you, Liza
Such a wonderful exploration of the ways both art and memory complicate time. Thank you.
Thank you, Samantha
it's poetry
That’s kind. Thank you, Joan
I love the connections you make as you explore your parents’ art, Eliza. Your four year old self is rightly curious. Rainy Day in Hydra is gorgeous.
Thank you, Wendy. She did a watercolor study for it, too. That one I have, and I’m so lucky.
Life spins the mind.

You are a time traveler in this essay.
This is beautifully written. Wow. Submit this to Sari Botton for Memoir Monday!
Thank you, Jill. I’ll have to learn about that.
Really like that first watercolor by your mom, Hydra, 1959. So fresh and clean and simple.
I was so happy to find it ☺️
This is lovely.
Thank you, Becca
