The one thing almost all people have in common is a list of ‘life regrets’. I realized tonight that at the top of mine, is indeed never meeting Tom Robbins. He just passed on. He was one of the few authors who ever truly reached me. Though he has now escaped this earthly terrain. He has escaped my grasp. So he is free at last. Is he somewhere still able to be reached? I so wish he reads this essay, telling of how I dreamt of meeting him just once face to face. Untouchable, though perhaps still present as stardust in some way, somewhere in the aether… I hope he receives this note.

His Still Life with Woodpecker traveled by my side across Europe. I was a mere 19 years young. I tossed his book into my backpack last minute as my cliche ‘Euro Trip’ to find myself began to unfold. Still Life arrived inside my luggage in Brussels the next day, along with me and my hopeful aspirations. I was to meet a college friend in Spain. I had never been outside the borders of America. I was fearless and over-confident. But I had Tom Robbins to keep me company incase my leap across the ocean became too lonely to endure.

The Eurail Pass was only 300 dollars for a whole month of traveling country to country, crossing open borders void of today’s chronic concerns. I met up with my friend in southern Spain. Spent days along the Costa del Sol south of Grenada. On the train ride there time passed rhythmically as I walked through the automatic door thresholds, entering then exiting each car upon whim. Tom Robbins was with me keeping time. He was my barometer of consistency. He was my dear escape, a subdomain surrounding my grand escape from everything familiar.

I would find a seat. I would crack open my paperback, finger my dog ear and begin where I left off in his wood pecking story  within my train story. My plane from the States had first touched down in Belgium. Then the real train ride began. South to Spain; north again to France. I met an English-African woman in a six person car cubby. She had been traveling for six months, paying her way by dancing. We met up with a Canadian woman in Bordeaux’s wine country. We later biked through the Loire region. Austria was a delight. Holland everything I anticipated and more. Times were different then. We were safe almost anywhere.

My mother met me in Paris. We walked the Champs-Elysees. Climbed le Tour Eiffel. Ate cheese and drank wine in our hotel room along the south bank. Still, Tom Robbins was always with me awaiting my reach. Incase I felt too alone, in the event I felt lost, I could pull his tattered paperback from my pack. Then everything would be okay. I would read another chapter of his story, as I wrote another page of my own.

Decades later I was in Idaho having coffee with a woman who had bought one of my authored books. She asked something about what authors I had read, curious which I admired. I mentioned Tom Robbins. She lit up and said ‘He would love you!’. She was from Washington and acquainted with him personally. I thought wow, the infamous Tom Robbins would love me?
