EACH DAY GOES BY, A MIRROR

I Love You

Text from Sylvain Tesson arranged as poetry

"Greetings to the sun,

the lake, and the little cedar

growing in front of the cabin,

on which, every evening, the moon

hangs up its lantern.

...

Each day goes by, a mirror

of the one before, a rough draft

of the one to come. The passing hours

bring variations in the sky’s coloration,

the comings and goings of the birds, and

a thousand almost imperceptible things."

Beautiful Linda. The photo reminds me of our sunset last night … the sky was on fire! It was a beautiful sight after a week of rain.
I love you.
