La Chanson du Dimanche

These bearded, French hooligans make up a new song every Sunday.
Je l'adore.

An ode to the frequent strikes in Paris:

Happy Thanksgiving.

Next Time
By Mary Oliver

Next time what I'd do is look at
the earth before saying anything. I'd stop
just before going into a house
and be an emperor for a minute
and listen better to the wind
or to the air being still.

When anyone talked to me, whether
blame or praise or just passing time,
I'd watch the face, how the mouth
has to work, and see any strain, any
sign of what lifted the voice.

And for all, I'd know more -- the earth
bracing itself and soaring, the air
finding every leaf and feather over
forest and water, and for every person
the body glowing inside the clothes
like a light.

I distincly remember feeling suffocated by sadness on this day,
one year ago.
Life comes full circle today.
Wishing you all a peaceful and tasty Thanksgiving!
I hope your body is glowing inside your clothes like a light.
Mine is.

Holiday fashion aspirations:
1. pull off a pair of red tights.
2. acquire something peacock printed.
3. Do it all while still looking graceful.

Comme ceci:


Let the games begin!
