In Chartres the Lumiere festival occurs to mark the ending of summer. Watching this fire, although there were loads along a path was both invigorating and soothing.
It was beautiful to see family and friends gather on a dreary Mid September Saturday eve to take in what they city had to offer this year artistically to their people. I hear the visual spectacle changes annually.
Trance like music played in the background, as we stared in wonder of these creations. One of our earth’s elements being put on display, like a precious Rolex in a store window.
We complain about the shift in weather , from sun to sleet. But there is potential for it to embraced like the people of Chartres.
It Only Takes A Smile
