This is purely a personal insight, so as to remember something: I sit with a drink looking at the painting I finally got from Miguel, and think of the five years I spent waiting for it. And I think of all his other works I longed for, knowing I could never have them. And now I see this one, the one he just happened to have in his studio when I finally found him again.  I realize that this is the one I’ve wanted all along, even though it hadn’t yet existed….
