The umbrellas at Caudan Waterfront change colours every so often. These seemed to be representing the French national flag but I’m not sure why... Still, a stroll under them never fails to bring a smile to my face!… instagram.com/p/B1vbNH9AiWB/…
What I love about Caudan Waterfront in the capital city are the various hawkers in their colourful little carts selling different delicacies that remind me of my childhood...the ‘poutou so’ (hot rice cakes), the… instagram.com/p/B1tnIOMgYbV/…

This morning, I was thinking about how my dad -- who could see I was hellbent on being a writer -- wrote to Time magazine with a question to Toni Morrison and SHE RESPONDED. The clipping got lost long ago, but I Googled it and oh my god I'm treasuring this screenshot forever.

We are profoundly sad to report that Toni Morrison has died at the age of eighty-eight.
“We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.”
February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019

Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while.
