White Paris


Frozen Pond


Jardin de Luxembourg




Arene de Lutece

On Monday the 5th it snowed in Paris more than it has snowed in many many years. The parks look beautiful covered in snow and all of the fountains and ponds have frozen through. As if walking the streets of Paris was not good enough, God has painted it white for a bit. Here is Van Morrison on the subject:

You brought it to my attention that
everything was made in God
Down through centuries of great writings and paintings
Everything lives in God
Seen through architecture of great cathedrals
Down through the history of time
Is and was in the beginning and evermore shall ever be

When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?

And up on the hillside its quiet
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep
And over the mountains and the valleys
The countryside is so green
Standing on the highest hill with a sense of wonder
You can see everything is made in God
Head back down the roadside and give thanks for it all.
