A WORD OF EXPLANATION…..

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung After my last post, I had several people who care about me ask if I were all right? I think they were taking my post literally. No, it is/was metaphorical. Continue reading “A WORD OF EXPLANATION…..”

BLACK SWAN RISING…..

One day in Nice, a friend and I were having lunch. I commented that I oftentimes have difficulty communicating with other people because most people don’t seem to “get” what I mean. They think they do, but they don’t. So, I just let things go and feel like I have been misunderstood. She said toContinue reading “BLACK SWAN RISING…..”

RANDOM RAMBLINGS IN PARIS

Today, I am going to ramble and try to clarify my thinking at the same time. I have now been in Paris for three weeks and three days.

So, I have been here a little over two weeks. And, a LOT has happened sinceContinue reading ““Pick Yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again…..””

PARIS BEGINNING – FIRST TEN DAYS!

For as long as I can remember, I have thought to myself, I will figure this out! And, I would figure whatever it was – out, no matter the consequence.

A BRIEF INTERLUDE

I need to rest my mind because I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Nothing is working. Well, that’s not true. The hotspot is working. Otherwise I would not be able to get the internet. But the in-house Wi-Fi is not working. And, I don’t know how to access it. Neither does my landlord. Continue reading “A BRIEF INTERLUDE”
