Paris! It's such an inspiring place.
One of the things I was reminded of today, reminds me of my favorite book (The Alcemist). "Where ever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure."
The beauty of this city and any other place I've been to seems to stem from how I feel. You know what I mean? There are great things everywhere you look, if you Want to see or feel them. I'm sure I can go on for days about this, but I just wanted to share that thought. There is beauty everywhere, we just need to see and appreciate it in our complete surroundings.
For some reason I am enjoying the simple things here in Paris. The Musee d'Orsay is great, So is the Eiffle Tower. But, running in Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Writing while drinking wine outside a cafe, and walking through the residential side of Montmarte has been my favorite moments thus far. With life, and how crazy the world can be, I have constantly been wishing and hoping to enjoy even the simplest of things. And I am. "When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person realize his dream."
-The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
