Paris is adorable, not only because of her historical monuments or artistic romance;

there are always inner-city oasis nearby: a tree shade avenue, a chestnut tree park,

a royal garden since 1664 or simply a petit flowerbed in the neighbourhood...


She was drowned into the "sea of jardins", they were blended into the deep sky,

the architecture, the people of now & the past. When she walked through the Tuileries & Luxembourg,

besides admiring of their natural beauty, she suddenly evoked there is always another one inside us -

"Point Zéro"- a spot she's longing to reach, to step onto it, then marching to her new chapter.

Seating on the bench in churches, joining the mass to hear the angel sing; she wondered, over decades with more than 200

churches in Paris, why so little keep serving,


where could they go...

the hearts of the believing

& of the searching?

let others know who we are, what we want & why?!

"I am ready..."she replied! Et vous?

4.0
The City of Light – another name of Paris has her own definition & story behind. It do represent The Age of Enlightenment – “hope for the future, pursuit of happiness…, etc.” Should it related to those in the 18th Century only? Or as we all are looking for today.

La Rue
Book 9 · Feb 2022 ·
5.0
Explore the city on foot in different kinds of streets to experience the past & present was one of the common way in Paris. Cobblestone paving was an icon of “la rue” because it reminded Parisians the changes of this city from centuries before. 

Lots of treasures in good old days were preserved, while transform of the modern age continues. She remembered the emigrants who started their new life as “L’étranger” – the foreigner who could eventually live like a local, but for how long to struggle before it could happen… 

…and for how much needed to be “forgotten”?

 

Exquisite

Why everything seems so exquisite in this city? Could it be the prejudice of herself only or they really are. Elements that couldn’t be found in her homeland but the language of “beauty” should be the same.
