Voyage of Life

Forty-eight years is a long time and even a longer time to miss the only woman you ever loved. The Voyage of Life coming of age in the sixties story is told as the Robert Cole Voyage of Life paintings are described by the woman Sean loves. The descriptions of Childhood, Youth, Manhood and Old Age become a metaphor for his life--the verdant landscape and calm waters of childhood become turbulent in youth and then early in manhood the shores turn rocky when he believes his one true love left him for another man. The story follows Sean through childhood, the sixties, and old age. Always wondering what happened to his sold mate, he meets her later in life and the secret of lost love is revealed.
