Machu Picchu :: Farewell :: A farewell gaze at the gate of Machu Picchu brings tears to my eyes. I think of the many painful goodbyes I have endured in my life. This is why at the age of thirty I chose to stop saying goodbye -- the grief being too great to handle in a face-to-face manner. But today, I offer my deepest farewell to a land that so graciously takes me into its arms. "Thank you for your gifts and your magic," I say.
