Cruising River Saone in Lyon, France

DSC_0399

There are two contrasting architectural landscapes that confront us when cruising River Saone in Lyon, France, the modern and the antique. Today, we are just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the modern architecture emerging at the river bank; well, a few of the pictures. I am pretty sure it has changed some more since they were taken two years ago but as an architect buff, I love the building designs and an artist, I love the bright colors, I was at home either way.

Perpectual Disguise

Serenety

No one sees or characterizes me as a fragile character. But persistently and unlicensed, it continues to pervert me. It tortures, follows and harasses me like a newborn baby discovering his mother’s nipples. The unbearable needle on the other hand, constantly pounding my back, sticking its point in my mucous, reminds me that I am still this fascinating facade yearning to be uncovered. The disguise needs to be exposed, the hidden vulnerability that can ignite at any minute, needs to be unmasked.

Joyful Innocense

Happiness, like love, is not a feeling but a choice. It is a state of being. Both, happiness and love come from the same place… having gratitude for what we do have and not forsake it for what we don’t. Life does not always walk a straight narrow path but it can surely be full of joy.
