ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I stopped for coffee, seeking refuge from the Paris rain. The lilt of a young woman’s step caught my eye. The storm eased, and the light hit her face. I love that she is standing tall, proceeding up the center of the sidewalk, seemingly happy to walk in the rain, while others hug the buildings to avoid the drops.
