Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain


Today I had an “Amelie” moment. It was a fleeting glimpse of a world at peace, when everything seems perfect as the wind whips through your hair and the sun shines softly on your back. I was walking across le Pont de l’Université (University Bridge, you can see it behind my head in the photo) and suddenly, everything just felt right. I belonged. The rush of the cars honking around me, the whir of the bateaux below, the smell of the cool crisp breeze floating from the water, a glimpse of lovers strolling hand in hand.

Unfortunately, the emotion was simply flirting with me--tickling at my ears, nipping at my heels. As soon as I stepped off of the bridge, it was gone.
