This sets my mind too dreaming. I've never been to Paris. I have a friend who moved to France this year and I hope to scrape up the money to get there one day soon. What a treat to see these images!
Hi Dee, As you suspected, I had indeed missed this post, and took great pleasure in looking at your photos here now, catching up in the New Year... so many blogs ! so little time ! Will try to keep my eyes peeled more carefully in the future... :-)
And if you've started to inspire StickUp to take a trip to Paris, that is a good thing too !
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.

Some amazing scenery, architecture, and art there, no doubt about it!
