today i stood inside the cathedral saint sulpice which stands in the latin quarter in paris. this is a very grand 13th century house of prayer. i am sure it has had many renovations as the centuries have gone by. it seemed natural to try and breathe as deeply as i could in that immense place that had no windows. then i realized people probably came there during the plague.
god loving souls still come to worship there and as i left i had my mind filled with the grandeur of history and genuflection. then something happened that made me forget it all: catherine deneuve crossed in front of me. just like that! hair nicely coiffed, clothing all black, she smoked her way to a waiting car outside of her apartment building. it was really a thrill. i only lament that i did not stop and get her autograph so that i could post it for you to see. one thousand times i have imagined calling out, 'i love you and your beautiful sister francoise!!

how wonderful pal! if she only knew how discipline your stifled coolness gave way to your passive admiration and devotion. i am sure those vibes followed her throughout her day.
happy that you are there to share these happenings. enjoy your time there. xoxxoxo
