I am moving to Paris. For a while... With myself, with just me. A journey for my heart. To walk the edges of the enchanting River Seine. Until the next step before me, appears. The crooked road, unwinding. Living each new day, as it beautifully unfolds. My time to explore a new place. A new space. An adventure I will call home. for a while... To restore and renew, from the inside, and out. Seeking wisdom through stillness, and challenge, and change. To immerse as I learn this language of passion and romance- sultry music to my mind. A foreign tongue, so different, yet so similar to mine. To surround myself with beauty, and art. Appreciating, in sheer wonder, historic mastery of color and form. Genius talent before me. My imagination inspired. To express myself, from within - Through charcoal, and oil. And lens and film. And pencil, and poem, and prose. If only, just for me. To guiltlessly savor much sinful cuisine. Laced with pure butter, and cocoa, and sugar and cream. But only a taste, will melt, on my lips... To slowly sip on rich coffee, whether black or latte. And smooth wine- birthed of grapes, then refined. While reflecting on the value of this lovely simplicity- The value of time. To explore a new culture, a new country, a new world. While expanding my perspectives, my angle, my thoughts. And reviewing ideas I currently hold. To run, arms stretched open, through open fields of lavender, and poppies – Then stop to memorize their purple essence, and red-fiery haze. To befriend perfect strangers- with my saucy Latina spirit, my inner joy and dancing smile- sharing these gifts in exchange. To reacquaint myself with me- And fall in love with her... To be abundantly grateful- for everything. While desiring – nothing. To live fully present, in the gift of this moment. Realizing- It truly is - Always the Now- And, this too, shall end. So, I ask myself: If not now, then when? I tell my mother this, And know she would be proud. This is also for her, As she will travel deep inside my soul. Now I understand - I will never be alone. My smile gently reappears~
