I LOVE it!<br /><br />I'm so fortunate to have a small but loyal band of readers who have stayed the course all this time (after many have fallen by the wayside — well, that's to be expected; it's the promiscuous nature of blogging and the internet). It's very good to share with a like-minded community who, like me, like enthusiastic, intelligent, meaningful communication. If that's not too many 'likes' :)<br /><br />As you know, your own blog gives me much pleasure too, with its clarity, depth, spirituality, humour and intimacy.<br /><br />Carmen took that photo when we were in Somerset last year.

Should have been studying an hour ago, but I couldn't stop reading your links above. Somehow I had missed "A Grey Day in Paris" back on Friday, June 22, 2012, and almost missed the Paris link because I didn't realize immediately that it linked to all of your posts about Paris. <br /><br />I like the poem and the quotes and the self-portrait. Or did Carmen take that photo of you? It's a good one.<br /><br />I'll say it again. Your blog is like a good book that I can re-read and appreciate even more on a second or third reading, not to mention your splendid photos. <br /><br />I hope you will forgive me for my fearless enthusiasm.
