						Luciana’s Wish and the lost child. by DUGGIE FIELDS
				It has been a privilege to have the friendship of many wonderful women in my life so far, some I still have, and some lost on the journey one way or another. This is a true story that unites several of these main characters from my adult life in a way that brought shivers to my spine, more than once, as I experienced the unfolding, unexpected, reality of what was taking place. Nine women became entwined with me in a series of events that encompassed friendships of thirty years duration, sharing both intense pain, pleasure, sorrow and joy, and resulting in the surprise re-appearance of a child now grown, with the simultaneous awareness of a poignant musical tribute to, and reminder of, a departed loved one, whose very absence facilitated the circumstances that created this happening. There are many connections, seemingly chance encounters, between the known and the unknown. This is a history of some of them. It begins with the apparently random choice of an old photograph. The lost child was to come into my life through this picture, only I didn’t know it at the time, or even, of his existence. A curious email turned up in my inbox one day in November 2001, enquiring about a photograph dating from 1975 in the ‘History’ section of my website. Having a fairly substantial site, it has featured in the BBC2 series on ‘Art and the Internet’ as part of its Open University television course, I have become used to receiving emails from strangers from all over, with all sorts of enquiries and comments. The email in question was short, polite, rather formal and somewhat cryptic in content, asking to contact me in some other way, for information about this particular photograph. Both the tone and the content of the emails that followed caught my attention, so that as well as replying, I kept them stored on my computer. The request, when enlarged on, was for information regarding one of the two women with me in the picture. ( Please visit DUGGIEFIELDS.COM for the full story)
