La terre vue du ciel
These Christmas, I sent sweetie La Terre Vue du Ciel, a DVD with pictures taken from air by Yann Arthus Bertrand. And the music is really touching too...
It is oh so beautiful, it made us breathless the first time we watched it together.
Can't help but recommend it wholeheartedly.
Do yourself a favor, and get it from www.amazon.fr.

Coming off -after all
Light crimson bush clovers
scattered and gone;
love is like gilt
coming off
after all.
- Meiko Matsudaira

Doppelgänger
The old knot:
cleave to this,
though faithfulness, all faithfulness,
cuts at the heart
(that wreckage carved out by choice, the heart)
& cleave this -
whatever is split
will carry its shadow, that second road,
its yellow leaves falling and falling
in the steep woods of our hundred other lives.
- Jane Hirshfield, Of Gravity & Angels.
