No one needed me for three hours after lunch, so I took myself for a long walk. I lit a candle for my mama at a small church, found treats at a boulangerie, and found myself at the river.
I always find myself by the river.
When L and I stayed with SE in Yellow Springs this summer, SE told us that one of the times she chatted with my parents while they were walking and she was walking her doggo around the Friends Care pond, my mother had enlightened SE on why there was such a beautiful pond so close to us. "It's because Maya is a pisces," my mom reportedly said, "wherever she lives, there's always water near her." (And for anyone asking, no--our pond has not yet been fixed. The contractor fixing it has just asked for more $$ for materials :/.)
I wondered how connected lighting the candle and ending up at the river were, given what the medium said.
On the family chat, my loving family was teasing me about being stranded in France forever because of the FAA ground stop, and pretending to book me a passage on a ship "just like all the people in the novels" I read. Good times (for some).
Pic: On the banks of the Seine, there are birds flying around the trees. My photos always look like the middle of wilderness, but there are houseboats to my right and left, and a Préfecture de Police canoe just around the bend.
