There will always be a part of me
standing by the water’s edge,
watching how much of us
got washed away and wondering
how much more sunk so deep
below the surface that it is now
a captive more to your careful concrete
than that ever coldly cutting current.

This has been a month of saying goodbye to Living with Paris in order to move on. And so Stephen Sondheim comes to mind and the lyrics of the song Move On from the musical Sunday in the Park with George, based on Georges Seurat…
‘Stop worrying where you’re going, move on…
look at what you want, not at where you are,
not at what you’ll be…
I want to move on, I want to explore the light
I want to know how to get through, through to something new,
something of my own, move on…’
Here’s to getting through to the light and the newness and moving on. See you all on the other side…

Beautiful, Damien–and moving on–I love that song.
Thank you Merril. I could not end without a little musical note somewhere 🤭🤗😘
🙂
Here’s to new beginnings. I will miss your Paris perspectives.
Thank you for your kindness and wishes. Like you, I’ll never be too far from this city ❤️
We leave pieces of ourselves all over the place, but still we somehow become more of ourselves.
Here’s to the journey–(K)
Thank you Kerfe for your kindness and wisdom, I love your always thoughtful and considered comments 🤗😘
