Travel? Not really. I’m still here on Salt Spring Island; but I find that a goodly part of my imaginaire has settled in France. And time-travelled at that! The lavender just outside my door blooms in harmony with the lavender of France. It’s summer and it’s time for some French braids.
Thanks for the great posts lately. Have been having communication issues as my new (14 months) laptop died!!!!! Couldn’t believe it. I am now down to an ipad mini 2 which is like writing on a stamp. This could be a message from the universe to stop writing stuff and listen more. Ha ha.
Hugs from the mountains. Continue to have a beautiful summer. Kuan yin/c
" A wink from the eye of the big mind, compressing and opening again at the touch of a thought. Fun simultaneity." Yes! This has been happening to me with not-so-alarming regularity - even on my phone!
Yes, I loved the Hare with Amber Eyes!
And if you're plunging the depths of Rimbaud, don't forgeot Baudelaire!!
Fair enough I guess but surely you will have at least one petite madeleine this summer in honor of Proust? I'm thinking it may have the same effect on you as him... a sensory awakening of creativity...
This is so delicious...and that's before I got to the French toast. "The Hare with Amber Eyes" is one of my very favorite books and, as the daughter of an antique dealer, I grew up in proximity to netsukes. I didn't remember the Hare/Swann connection but I'd really like to sign on to the Proust thing. Maybe I'll make "Swann's Way" my winter reading. I'll be in rainy northern California and, I expect, it will do me good. Also...I have a tinted portrait that's frighteningly similar to yours. Almost the same dress. What does it all mean?

Just French toast?
