Photo taken this morning in Marion. I was driving home from an emergency Diet Coke trip to Cumberland Farms (I am a true addict) and pulled over to photograph the empty harbor. The sun was sparkling on the water and the day was crisp and clear and beautiful. I simply adore this harbor. On the subject of the ocean, I read a line today in the NYT magazine that really sounded familiar to me. It was a review of Marion Cotillard’s (I am counter-cultural in that I LOVED her Gaultier Oscar dress – someone should be rewarded for taking a risk!) performance of Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose. The reviewer described the performance as having “a deep undertow of sadness” and this is a good way, I think, of describing my own psyche, much of the time. Sea metaphors have always spoken to me, and I know the sense of something pulling me, towards melancholy.
