France (March, 2022) – We skirted around along the quais before hitching a train. The steps up from the water's edge, led us upon the quintessential vintage Parisian panorama. It felt like ascending back in time; a sort of magical momentary flash of nostalgic happenstance.

France (March 2022) – While the giant and his brood prepare to explore my homestead - I fondly think back to theirs. To the jaunts through history, art and culinary delights. Situated on Ile Saint-Louis is a small triangular parkette which is an ideal place to people-watch with a glorious Berthillion gelato in hand. 

Canada (August, 2023) – Back to life; back to usual wander through one the city's modern garden paradise.  Currently the pond outside the museum has been transformed into an abstract installation; which reads.... “There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen". Rumi's words permeate the entire space, with a feeling of connectivity - beyond religion, beyond boundaries, beyond the feeble human mind.
