Return to Paris

Yesterday, I arrived in Paris exhausted and yet elated to return to a city I love so much. Today was spent at the Louvre with my sister, and I shared with her my love for sculpture. The natural light coming down from the skylight ceiling of the Richelieu section highlighted the beauty of the art and made for great photos.

Bonfire

Tree shadows jumping
Hold the universe’s secret.
What?

High school writings

I came across this old piece of writing of mine in an sketch book from high school and was taken aback by it. Even then, I was an introspective dreamer.

Quote for the day

If it’s meant for you, you won’t have to beg for it. You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny.

Quiet time

20130423-005339.jpgAs soon as spring arrives, I’ll be here outside my neighbourhood library by the park and gardens with a coffee and good book. It doesn’t take much to make me happy – give me good weather and quiet time, and life seems perfect.

Because kids are better poets than you

20130422-220505.jpgSometimes I struggle so hard to write, and then I read something like this and I find myself envious and in love with the complete pure beauty and wisdom of children.

Thought for the day

 

Whenever I see an elderly couple, both white-haired and crossing the street holdings hands as they did in their youth, I silently squeal inside with happiness, and think to myself, “I want to be like that”.

Word Play

You’re like a Kit-Kat bar:
Equally sweet and good for one or when shared with many.

You’re like a forest:
I can get lost in you.

You’re like a period:
Things make better sense when you’re around.

Your Hands

Return to Paris

In one month, I’ll be back! I cannot wait.
