by Jeffrey Tayler was excellent and I loved the ending - begging the question: what makes time stop for you?
I turn my eyes to the sea below, turquoise expanses foaming with breakers. I've surrendered to the healing charms of the islands, finding, as Kazantzakis declared, that "happiness is a simple, unaffected thing: a glass of wine, a chestnut, a humble little brazier, the roar of the sea." I wake up each day here wanting nothing more than to inhale the salty sea air and hold my face to the light. This is it, the utter tranquillity I've been searching for. I close my eyes, my breathing slows. Time, for me, has stopped.
