Illumination

The sun found its way to Paris reminding us, even after the greyest of days, the city of light remembers its reputation. It was a welcome day walk alone, take a few photos and discover hidden treasures. Today, I had the intention of doing just that, but, just as I was finishing my sushi lunch, my cell phone rang and changed my plans in an ever so pleasant way.

There are conversations between creative types which only occur in the company of like minds. I suppose it is not unlike when computer programmers or horse trainers find themselves sharing a Sunday afternoon together.

I spent this afternoon with a dear old friend, a fellow American in Paris. We window shopped, took in the ambiance, shared an absolutely terrible chocolate chaude and found it amusing to have discovered possibly the only such a concoction of dark chocolate flavored with saw dust existing in the city of the most delightful culinary delights. The ambiance of the “salon du the” was adorable, however, and while it was a bit “girly” for the taste of my screenplay writer friend, he was a good sport managed to find pleasure in the irony of it all. I found the ambiance positively inspiring.

My friend and I are both busy working on projects of which neither of us have details or dare to ask one another. Instead, when we speak, we inspire without effort. We philosophize, sympathize and perhaps dramatize a bit as well. Today, we made a lovely memory and the light not only shown in Paris, but in our hearts as well.

Enjoy the Unexpected interruptions,
