Here's looking at you, kid

Take a walk through Paris


Reading the streets signs,


Watching the light change,


Keeping an eye out for the beautiful children,


And eventually the sights that made the city famous will emerge.




The Louve is full of great rooms





To sit


Or write


Or look at art



Anselm Kiefer is a new favorite


Out of a pile of books a sunflower emerges. Its gold petals have all dropped.



My sister, who is a visual artist, talks about the layers in his work, how terror and the sublime coexist. He is German.
"My biography" he says, "is the biography of Deutschland."
