Rosa ParksNear the end of our tour, Kasia took us to meet a friend of hers, Peidrö, a man of great energy and enthusiasm who is both an artist and a musician. He showed us around his studio (he’s not a street artist), kept up a running commentary on people and events, and showed us a few of his works.

Each one states a person’s age (in this case, “I was 80 and 81 years old”). The explanatory text below it reads: “This can rekindle the trauma of victims of violence. My daughter’s father sodomized me twice while I was sleeping. My complaint was dismissed because he said I liked it.”https://lovedolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ruesallyride-1.jpgRue Sally RideAround 2.6 percent of Parisian streets are named for women, a remarkably low number. One night in 2015, a feminist group changed the names of 60 streets on the Île de la Cité in Paris, covering over each real street name with the name of an accomplished woman. Five years later, during my visit to Paris, I saw quite a few “renamed” streets, although the real name was not covered. Here’s the one for astrophysicist and astronaut Sally Ride (1951-2012). You might be thinking that “such imbalance might be easy to write off as insignificant, who cares what a street is named? Yet street names are reflections of a city’s history, and what it values of that past” (quote by Allison Meier).2020-09-24T17:10:55+00:00monthlyhttps://lovedolife.com/2020/07/21/song-of-summer/https://lovedolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/redibles-1.jpgRediblesOne day for lunch, I rinsed off a few radishes and tomatoes for my plate, plus some cherries and strawberries for dessert, resulting in a colander full of luscious red things to eat.

The second flowering is the season that most people go for, and that’s when you see roadside fruit stands selling tenderly-packaged little boxes of delicate figs that are ready to eat.https://lovedolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/photoset.2.3.jpgPhoto SetForaging for caper berries on a walk in the woods.
