Quiet days keep me going. Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle comes to mind. Juliette says, "I don't know where or when, just that it happened. I have tried all day to recapture the feeling. There was a scent of trees." Without knowing why, there are moments when I catch the sun filtering into odd shadows, moments when I walk following the direction of the wind, and moments when my vision renders every rotten thing beautiful. This inexplicable feeling of rightness comes and goes so suddenly, that I often wonder if these moments can be simply explained by merely knowing which side of the street to walk on.
I love this.
ReplyDeleteSome of my most magical moments in the day are a walk home from work, seeing the shadows the trees cast on the sidewalk--like black lace. And I get lost in those moments. Suddenly I'm home and I feel like I've just been on the most romantic, inspired journey, but really it was just a few blocks walk.
what yummy and fresh foods! inspiring words as well. i love quiet days. so hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteroi du balcon - what a lovely name for a geranium!
ReplyDeleteand i know what you mean about quiet days. i haven't had one in so long, i'm thinking about taking a day off work to reclaim some time for myself.
beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteI was talking with a friend the other day about how it takes a particular type of genius to eloquently sum up those indescribable fleeting feelings that overcome us all from time to time. I guess what I'm saying is: "You are a genius with a very beautiful way with words".
ReplyDeleteI've only started reading recently and just had to pause to say how much I love your yellow tights - my favourite colour, one I wear a lot, but not one I would be brave enough to wear on my legs. I'm very glad that someone is and does though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way of describing that "moment." I've tried to capture it with words countless times, and never quite seem satisfied. Bravo!
