My Idols/Mes Idoles

Home again, leaving behind my children. But what a great amount of precious moments shared with them during those few full days. An amount that is never enough for me but that can be more than enough for them sometimes. Life goes on and has its rhythm and meanings for them while mine goes on at a different rhythm filled with a diversity of meanings leading to a respect to each other’s partitions in life.

Every instant has its surprise, feelings are warming at different degrees, no time to loose, enjoy every moment!

Suddenly felt like listening to “Redemption song”, Marley’s marvelous creation, I went and bought nearly every version I found on iTunes.

Was it, is it relevant?

I was there :

Sea Sand & Sun

Arles still on my mind

Pieces of my memory, bribes of sounds, instants from visits through amazing places used as exhibition halls…some holly places, some plain, nude, old  “abandoned” workshops…

Patchwork from Arles

but all places had a kind of magical mystery that emanated from them, like a respect for what their walls displayed.Pieces of my memory, bribes of sounds, instants from visits through amazing places used as exhibition halls…some holly places, some plain, nude, old  “abandoned” workshops…but all places had a kind of magical mystery that emanated from them, like a respect for what their walls displayed.

Those (imagical) memories that remained inspired me so after a long time of aridity I managed to put down into images some of the fragments I had photographed.

The patchwork is my method for respecting all that work and trying to share some it cautiously.

I could watch it/her for hours! Prendre mon temps et l’admirer!

En couleur?

head-in my suitcase

I’ll be, luckily, travelling on Sunday (today is only Thursday or Friday?)

Going away, to the sun for three weeks!

Going to visit my daughter, spend as much time as I can with her, share places, moments, I hope she’ll enjoy too, with her. As usual I am both happy and anxious.  It’s the travelling part that makes me uneasy and that (usually) leads to a total breakdown in front of a suitcase. I must be writing down my 10th list of clothes&things to pack. The only time I cannot decide what to wear is when I am face to face with a piece of luggage, ridiculous I know especially when it’s rather simple for me most of the time!

Here I am empty minded, watching an empty suitcase, which I am sure I will fill up more than enough till the zipper becomes impossible to zip… (that’s where my husband comes in an smiles).

Here I am fidgeting about clothes for a hot country where you go around in t-shirts, shorts & birkens, I’d better have a serious look around me!

BIG problem : which bag?

Like my mother would say : “Let these be the largest of your “soucis”! (or the least of your worries?)”
