William Gibbs' 41-foot-long painting
of the planet's curve...
1:21:21
... was 1 foot shy
of the perimeter of my room.
1:21:37
He hung it so that when
I lay on my back...
1:21:39
... I could stare out 14 miles
to the horizon any way I looked.
1:21:55
Encircled by water, I would turn
and float on my back...
1:21:59
... arms outstretched, chin up...
1:22:02
... and feel in the small of my back
the rounded curve of the planet...
1:22:09
... supporting me like a buoy.
1:22:17
Like faith.
1:22:25
By loving each other truly...
1:22:28
...and serving our Lord sincerely...
1:22:29
...and serving our Lord sincerely...
1:22:31
...may you come
to see your children's children.
1:22:34
And after a long life on earth...
1:22:37
...may you come
to the kingdom of heaven. Amen.

We lost George that summer.
1:22:42
He and Consuela
settled in Talpa, Mexico...
1:22:44
... where George was informed
he'd been elected mayor...
1:22:47
... without knowing
he was on the ballot.
1:22:50
I give you a companion,
not a servant.
1:22:54
Love her as Christ loves the Church.
1:22:56
I missed him terribly.
