Paris

 This morning my daughter sent me a picture of Notre Dame, a monument I can't identify, and her lunch of a crepe.

She told me that she's happy.

I wish that every young person could go to Paris - or Seoul, or Johannesburg, or Lima, or somewhere far and marvelous - and have this feeling. I remember feeling it myself, because it's never quite left me.

Bliss.
