Giant ancient clockface at Geraldine Michaelis's stand Une Chanson Douce at the Antiquities Brocante at Place de la Bastille, Paris.
Come With Me
To the quiet minute between two noisy minutes
It's always waiting ready to welcome us
Tucked under the wing of the day
I'll be there
Where will you be?
Poem by Naomi Shihab Nye from her book Come with Me: Poems for a Journey.
Tara Bradford is traveling. In her absence, timed posts should appear. She will post occasional updates from the road.
Enjoy your travels. I'm a little jealous as I would like to do nothing better right now.

The clock is stunning. And I needed to read that poem today -- when the minutes seem so close together and I'm so very tired and desperately needing a break. Desperately looking for the quiet minute between the noisy ones.
