Hi,
I'm Larry... Larry Legg for those of you who don't know me yet. I love
microscopy but even this great passion pales besides my love for Vanessa
- a beautiful woman and my great strength in life.
I guess
most people have their ups and downs, times when they feel great and then
moments when they feel blue. This
is normal and not
too much of a problem for most people to deal with.
My Vanessa is an exception. Most times she
is a source of strength, a great 'doer', full of energy... you know, one
of those creative people always buzzing with ideas. She pays a penalty
for her creativity: 'Trick-cyclists' have a name for it. They call it depression! It's only a name, but for my honey it is a glass cage, a living death, or - as she puts it -"...a dying life!" I know it takes a lot to bring someone back to the world of the living. So when a gal yer love as much as I love Van goes thru this much pain, yer just pull out all the stops to make a difference. That's what I did, the week before Easter 98, when I phoned MOL and asked if we could join him and ANNE on their trip to Edinburgh. I knew Van was too weak to help 'em in the MIC-UK workshops at Gorgie Farm but we could at least meet up with our friends and spend some time in a different environment. Maybe, I thought, this would help Vanessa catch hold of something from within her gloom and trigger a recovery.
I hope you learn something hidden from our account as well as discovering more about a fantastic night creature. I could have just told you all about bats but Vanessa said it was important to capture the atmosphere of our encounter with them and the background to the events and subsequent studies which took place. Most important of all, it was vital to show how something much feared in the darkness and little understood by ordinary folk, can itself be a thing of great beauty - leading to greater awareness of ourselves and our world. |
