“The Woods Within Paris”
geniuses
like renior
monet degas manet
gathered memories
and fashioned manners of living
still breathing
today
*
today
families from block houses
condos apartments and suites
seek
blends of light in the beauty of palaces
too grand for only the
few –
palaces set with fountains
for birds and children playing among
the
flowers and trees gracing
paris’ soil
*
in the distance
the eiffel tower rises dimly
at day, brightly at night
while nearby
children and pets
run among fleeing
pigeons who know
they can return
as nature always returns
once the people finally rest
having allowed our nature to smile
among the rich woods rooted deep in our hearts

Final Thoughts
the tuileries here in paris, based on what’s i’ve read in the links above, and the feel of the gardens and expanse and contrast of massive buildings and open nature, is one of a thankfulness for what is possible, for peaceful co-existence
though it’s also obvious, from the history here, this is an on-going process
not without a price, and not without an effort
ironically though, that effort and price is of one toward peace, not continual conflict
which (peace) may be the biggest challenge of living within of all
after all, what’s the stereotypical funny family movie about thanksgiving usually about 😉

you’ll have to come visit us before we go
we’d tossed around the idea of taking a train trip to barcelona, but really, it’s enough being here
we got some rare sunshine this afternoon and were by st severin’s, so we headed to notre dame and saw it in sunlight for the first time since we got here, then it got windy and colder, but it was worth it 😉
