"Au revoir" .. again

10/7/2014

Written while flying from Paris .. when pain is always strongest ...

France / She

On my Skin
in my breath
never to dissipate

Merged with my being
not worn away
forgotten
polluted

So entrenched
She has become my essence
a portion of physical presence
pulse
soul

She causes my muse
creativity
passion
intellect

Swirling within Her air flows the rich broth of humanity

"J'adore"

"J'adore"

Your thoughts of missing France beautifully expressed-though sad.

But we are just glad you will be visiting us next week for a few days.

See you soon, our Son.

Bill,
I understand the sadness. I have often felt it when I am there in France, not just the departure sadness. When I am there in the place I love so much, I feel some of the happiness slip from my heart when I think it is likely impossible to live there. However, I have gradually adjusted to that reality. I'm glad that you had your time in France. Now, you can plan and look forward to the next. I have the Provence with a side-trip to Malta on my future 2015 agenda, Meanwhile, I plan to plant tiny broccoli and cabbage plants today. Hope you are fine as frog's hair today!
