I shall add her to my list (an endless TBR list). Unfortunately, books in English have become more expensive to purchase and difficult to come by. I”m working on that… I’ve met a few other Empaths on my blogging journey. There is a local English book exchange but most of what is available is not what I usually care to read but I’ve made a lovely friend through it. If this lock-down ever ends, we can meet up again. I’m fond of reading biographies, philosophy, history and some of the classics. Perhaps it is due to things that happened in the past but … However, I’m about to launch a reading marathon of Shakespeare and Charles & Mary Lamb. I’ve often been told I was very spiritual, perhaps it is so, but when I was very young it felt tainted and I had issues with that.

Alas, I’m afraid I’m a bit of a reverse snob. Being so tactile, I prefer to stick with previously loved paperbacks to plastic… The day may come but you can be sure I shall be dragging my heels. If the book is in French, the bibliotheque is about a three minute walk from my house. If they don’t have it they will try and track it down and each Thursday the bookmobile comes to the village. However, I believe I will stick with Shakespeare and Lamb for the summer and see what happens. I don’t think I’m ready for Shakespeare in French but I do read François de la Rochefoucauld. His maximes are sublime.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve looked at it a few times. Alas, I’m not much of a “joiner’.

I can relate. If you had read back in my poetry blog you would know some of my journey and writing it helped facilitate the healing.

I also have two. The French blog is still in hiatus but some continue to find it. There are some WP issues there. The second is for my poetry (therapy) and whatever else I’m in the mood to share… I will have to find your other blog and check it out.

I shall give it a look and look forward to doing so. I had a third blog (not really mine but my cats) Les deux divas: ma vie en rose. Alas, my cats don’t like having their picture taken and I couldn’t get enough photos of other cats to keep it going… The divas are Colette and Simone.

My divas will literally curl up so i can only see a furry ball or run away the second they detect a camera. There were a few photos in the early days but they got wise to me…

Have you read any of the work by Charles & Mary Lamb. I have little to go on but a quote and my intuition but that usually serves me well when I have the sense to follow it. “Earth seemed a desert I was bound to traverse, seeking the old familiar faces.” – Charles Lamb

Sorry. I’ve crossed the threads here and responded to Charles Cros with Charles Lamb. It’s telling me that my eyes need a break. The sun is setting and pouring through the window so between that, the computer screen and my allergies, my eyes are finished for a while. ❤ 📚

Ah, it can be an endless cycle… I prefer a more natural course and haven’t had an asthma attack since I went vegan and although my allergies have not been eliminated, they are reduced. As for covid – 19, I hope you have good healthcare coverage as everyone should.

Alas, I’ve never responded well to the conventional treatments and have found that the cleaner air here and a natural lifestyle are well suited for me. We each have to do what works best for us of course. ( knock on wood)

I’m on lunaprojects.wordpress.com right now. What is your other link. I just clicked the one associated with the comment you left. While I never knew Nancy, in reading this post, I knew her quite well.

Writing has been my own “best therapy”. Grief takes as long as it takes. Sometimes there are things that get in the way of progress. When my daughter died, I wasn’t in a safe place. It was a long time before I wrote a little piece that told me so much. It was called, And the rain fell… From the time she died, until I wrote that piece, the rain seemed to wrap me in a veil of sorrow which I couldn’t comprehend. When I let that little poem leak out, so much changed. Hang in there and write.
