"It’s better to make the decision to stay and love someone. About all I can hope for in life is that the people I love know that I love them. That I’m doing all I can to treat people as well as I can. The noble struggle is to find a way to love someone. To really love someone. To get beyond yourself far enough that you can actually care about another person more than you care about yourself. Once you do that you can start building something beyond your own selfish life".

I'm running a bit behind on sharing our latest adventures..donc here are some photos from Arles. Hugo and I went for a visit to the neighboring town a couple of weeks ago. It was really something special to see where Mr. Gogh lived and painted (and cut off his ear!). We walked around and met a very nice artist who had made some beautiful engravings. He mentioned we should check out the collective exposition "Embrasez vous!" This turned out to be wonderful advice because we both found the exposition to be really captivating. There were modern works of several artists arranged thematically inside a church. The juxtaposition of new and old was really something beautiful.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer."

anniversaire de hugo

Hugo's birthday is five days after mine and he is a year older. We celebrated with his family by drinking pink champagne and eating his favorite cake (carrot) that I made for him. It was really special and lovely! 

Also, my sister requested that I write more on my posts (what a pest!). So, I'm going to note a few observations I've made recently in the next couple of posts.
