things that are true.

may 28th.

late morning.
nutella.
watching the dryer spin.
clean clothes.
careless curls.
short lines at the louvre.
winged victory.
goosebumps.
mona lisa.
praying in the gardens.
gentle breeze and dappled shade.
weeping at monet’s waterlillies.
discovering new art.
watercolor moleskin.
pilot G2 .38.
long walk along the seine.
picnic for one under the eiffel tower.
a million miles in a thousand years.
breathing deep.
long bike ride to notre dame.
greasy hands.
making the best of it.
feeling like a child again.
making new friends with old married couples.
church on street corners.
giant bubbles.
paying for someone else’s gelato.
sunset through the arc de triumph.
sparkles at the strike of the bell.
night river cruise on the seine.
red wine.
laughter.
kodak moments.
feeling safe.
being home.

today has been, quite simply, one of the best days of my life.
