The Maps drawn in childhood
Maps we pour over with friends
Widening as we grow
We step beyond those maps
Losing companions en route
As the view evolves
As the map expands
its place in our heart
A fixed point
A compass back to Home

The Italian hashtag has moved today
#LanguageMatters
A definition of sight
Maybe bird’s eye view ?

It all depends on how you translate context
Vicino or Lontano
Near or Far
Close or Distant
Narrow or Wide

I lean to the bigger picture
Not the local but GLOBAL

I have a 1950s watercolour of a walk I used to take by the Seine in the late 80s. The sight of Notre Dame was a total joy. Now it is unveiled in his newly restored splendour

"On en a tous une cathédrale à rebâtir, à reconstruire
On a tous en nous le bien, le mal"
