Walking. Nice in the spring--a not quite born spring (maybe i am not quite born yet too), but the preparations are showing. Everything is heightened.

The past few days, so wonderful outdoors. Saw a huge hawk gliding close in the trees; me on the ground full of longing, to float simply in the air like that; to ride invisible currents. To release mind and body, weightless. Wind ruffling up the feathers. The hawk made swooping circles over the trees and then seemed to loop around and around the sun. T o watch the beauty, I put my hand up to cover the sun from my eyes. Then, looking up the hawk appeared to circle my upturned hand. A wonderful, rare perspective. (Not good for eyesight, but worth it.)

I would SO have loved to see that hawk. Apart from a few sparrows and lots of pigeons, there aren't alot of birds around Paris...

I haven´t visit here for a while, bacause I am working to much right now and I don´t want to be in a hurry, while I am here, reading your nice words. It makes me always to slow down for a while and to step into a quite and silent world. Thank you for it so much!
Great photos!
