It has been weeks in the city again and by now I am marinated in other peoples thought, feelings and struggle. Longing for time in nature, to ask the trees and the earth and the birds and the sky to help me heal. Tomorrow morning to the unspoiled woods of Germany and in just two weeks back to France.

Drooling over these Sally Mann  pictures in the meantime. I see the free spirit of (my) children in them and I remember my own.
