“By the end of January, Katherine was feeling more settled into her new routine. Since Elisabeth was an early riser, she would have breakfast ready when Kat came downstairs. She missed her long morning walk, so she had begun to go to yoga with Lucy twice a week. Yoga was new to her, and so was the experience of having a regular commitment with a  girlfriend now that James no longer controlled her agenda.”

Wordless Wednesday (Dec. 11)

Proust's grave
Almost wordless…

As you may know, this is a big year for Proust literature, as this is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Swann’s Way, the 1st volume of In Search Of Last Time.

One of my reading goals of 2013 was to read the 7 volumes. I’m actually only in volume 4, and will go on with this project in 2014.
Last year, I took a picture of Proust’s grave at the famous Père Lachaise cemetery, in Paris.
If you want to know more about this fascinating cemetery and see many more of my pictures, just click on Proust’s grave here.

One early afternoon, in all other ways like any other afternoon, her mother takes her out in her stroller, soothing her with a laughing mom’s voice. She tells her about the wind that sings and then softens among the branches and the swallows that compete in skill to skim the pond for a few refreshing drops of water before flying off again in perfect circles into the clouds.
