But just before his departure, his very sweet-natured e-mail friend, a writer from the South, comes to pick up Joshua's dog. His e-mail friend ends up staying the week, and carving a place into Joshua's heart. "Now what?" Joshua wonders.
On Crete, Joshua's new friend Olive reads him the poems of Sappho in the evenings, and black robed priests in the monastery next door offer a peaceful place to meditate and pray during the day. The taverna down the road has ouzo and delicious Turkish coffee, and his new little room at the Peace Center has louvered doors opening to the ocean. What more could one ask for? Joshua writes and attempts to heal his heart and soul in the warm sun of Crete. Perhaps he has found a new home. Perhaps this beautiful idyllic life here on Crete is enough.
