Artsy Rambler: Mindful Journeys to Paris and Beyond

“A long-form ode to a timeless city and a reflection on the rewarding challenges of wanderlust. Inspiring and informative.”—Self- Publishing Review

“There is only one moment in which life is available, and that is the present moment.”—Thich Nhat Hanh

Experience the transformative power of art when you see the rich and vibrant city of Paris through the eyes of a mindful artsy traveler. From the light-inspired grandeur of Gothic cathedrals and the freshness of Impressionist art, sinuous forms in daring architecture that speak to our innate sense of beauty, and the rare library that helps one define oneself; to the role of French cuisine and cultural events in shaping the city's uniqueness, this collection of essays will take you on a journey of discovery and self-reflection.

Amidst the charm and allure of Paris and its art, questions arise and conflicts are explored. Can art truly enrich our understanding of life? Can it help extricate us from constantly waging wars? And how does a urinal become a symbol of controversy that challenges our conception of art?

If you enjoyed "A Moveable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway, this thought-provoking and sometimes meditative collection of essays will unveil the beauty and complexity of the world around you by unleashing the power of art as you satisfy your wanderlust.
