"Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise; weather it comes to us as sorrow or as joy it will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humainty."

Henri Nouwen

A feeling of Christmas."

There's the hint of a reflection in this Paris café window

on a beautiful, sunny day in 1994.

This city was our home for twelve years.

Other than stateside grandparent visits,

all of my babies' childhood memories live here.

My heart aches for Paris.

For all of those who know the terror that comes

when the sanctity and security of the place they call home

is shattered.

I'm so grateful for our cherished, Parisian memories.

For family and friends and all who will get an extra hug this week.

And I mourn with those who can no longer hug their own.

"La reconnaissance est la mémoire du coeur."

Jean-Baptiste Massieu

"We all live under the same sky,

but we don't all have the same horizon."

Konrad Adenaur

Of late,

I find that when my horizon seems

dull,

diminished

or dreary,

a walk out my front door with my camera

adjusts my perspective.

Whether it's the leaf holding raindrops on the hood of our car,

or the rain saturated leaf that's fallen to rest on our deck,

focusing on the simplest of details

reminds me of the wealth of beauty that

truly

is all around me.
