all right here…

Day by date, month into year, each letter adds up. Photography, poetry, fortune cookie philosophies, concepts, observations, unsolicited advice, messages of peace and simplicity; all right here. Daily, weekly, randomly demonstrating where I have been as much as where I will go and beyond.

worthwhile collection

Musée Picasso Paris is an art gallery, located in the Marais district of Paris, dedicated to the work of Pablo Picasso. The museum collection includes more than 5,000 works of art and archived pieces from the artist’s journals, correspondence and photography.

Most of the items of the worthwhile collection were donated by Picasso’s family after his death, in accord with the wishes of the artist, who lived in France from 1905 to 1973.

a city called Paris

Over the coming days, I will learn more about a city I have always imagined visiting.

To begin, however, I will count on all I have read about the authors, artists, and uncertain histories (or mysteries) of a city called Paris. I will walk some of the same streets as many legendary creators have before.

A journey awaits.

Mondays are just young Fridays

For the most part,
you can choose your view.
Wherever you are (or end up)
the view becomes personal,
for a time.
Own it.

Your personal view also depends
on attitude. What you see affects
how you feel, no matter how 
temporary. Where you are 
is how you are.
Own it.

storied past

An English-language bookstore in the middle of Paris; what a wonderful idea.

Shakespeare and Company has a storied past.

Through the years, many writers have found comfort in this humble independent bookstore, including Beat Poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, William S. Burroughs, Anaïs Nin and James Baldwin.

After 57 years, readers still line up to get in.

You are allowed to be angry,
      even with yourself.
      It is how we deal with feelings
      not validated or justified.
There is no temporary placement
      for all you have observed.

I’m like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.
