"Giovanna Draws" by Nicholas Leonard is a contemporary love story, but not the kind one is expecting. It's about Patrick, a man walking alone around Lake Quannapowitt in Massachusetts, who meets Giovanna, an art student from Brazil, who needs to capture human vulnerability for her school project. She asks him to be her subject. He agrees. What unfolds is an achingly beautiful exploration of longing and brief connection. "I am your angel. Look up at me, Patrick. I'm your angel." It is not a story about happy endings.  It's a story about things that define us and stay with us forever.  It's a story that makes us think of our own brief angels.  Watch here:  Giovanna Draws by Nicholas Leonard If you want to support my work leave a like, comment or share the video with someone who might need to listen to it.  You can also subscribe to my channel and get notified about every new video I upload.
