5. Simon Says-Author Updates
------------------------------------------------
I has been a very interesting month. The highlight was my trip to Paris, France. Below is my journal entry on the last day:
“I was really moved yesterday by one of the attractions of this great city, the Monet Lilies, and then the impressionists, Renoir, Cezanne and Modigliani and yes even Picasso. But it was the lilies that Monet gave to the people of France that moved me to the point of inspiring me to create. Not like him but inspired by the effort of this great man who saw beauty right around him in his home. It was awesome. I was wearing a blue sweater that made me feel one with the blue of the canvas I wanted to mold in with the water and wade, to disappear into the land of his strokes, and become one with him, I felt his beauty and I was glad for life and for feeling. It was the highlight of the trip. It was a fabulous experience and Paris seduced me and my heart. Like Pop always said.”
My work on my new novel, “The Weight of Sin” is coming along slower than I’d like but feel very close to the end and looking forward to finishing the editing so that I can start on my next story. The new characters are anxious for their birth.
Simon
