For weeks, it seems, the dandelion has graced our city with its resplendent colour brightening our days.
Overnight suddenly, but not unexpected, this prolific weed then takes steps to further spread its joy.
The here-today-gone-tomorrow presence of the dandelion is a quite remarkable. Despite our efforts to remove the weed from our landscape, it keeps coming back.
A dandelion is a powerful symbol of the cycle of life as it marks spring and early summer, naturally goes to seed, and keeps coming back. Year after year. The dandelion’s return, like its colour, is a reminder of perseverance.
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.
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.
