at home abroad: June 2010
http://whatisfoundthere.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
An american girl in paris. Friday, June 11, 2010. In barcelona, watching. The france-uruguay match at an irish pub, molly's fair city. With GL and a german seismologist working in napoli. Among my small tribe, many sides to be chosen: do i wistfully wrap myself in a french. Flag or proudly proclaim my love with an obama. Tshirt or go with the tried-and-true, italian. What constitutes loyalty when it comes to questions of nationality or identity? Is it their blood or is it our heart? Tuesday, June 8, 2010.

An american girl in paris. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Democratic National Convention 2008 Denver, Colorado. I came to Denver on Frontier Airlines yesterday to participate in the Democratic National Convention.

Seeing me in my Obama t-shirt and putting my copy of Audacity of Hope. And the Obama office in Bloomington. Getting ready w...

at home abroad: gravity and grace
http://whatisfoundthere.blogspot.com/2010/08/gravity-and-grace.html
An american girl in paris. Sunday, August 8, 2010. It is necessary to uproot oneself. to cut down the tree and make of it a cross, and then to carry it everyday". Reading weil's "gravity and grace". On a saturday afternoon, blanket-covered and couch-supported, i am wondering about the splinters from these trees that we carry. carrying her cross was a task that weil did in solitude, a solitary seeker of god's grace, avoiding the comforts of community. I am reading weil's book like a map to find an answer ...

at home abroad: April 2010
http://whatisfoundthere.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
An american girl in paris. Monday, April 5, 2010. On the in-between rocks. From Marrakesh to the sea by bus! It seems inspiring to me that these snails - these unique organisms who have managed to avoid overt commercialization after their Roman exploitation, have managed to survive throughout the centuries in such volatile conditions. Through these travels though - from bus to books to so many different places - I am hoping to shift from survival to joy. Sunday, April 4, 2010. The intangible nature of joy.

at home abroad: Springtime in Paris
http://whatisfoundthere.blogspot.com/2011/03/springtime-in-paris.html
An american girl in paris. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. It is my fifth spring in Paris. Never one to be very good with chronology, it is still hard to believe that I have been here already so long. I still feel the vertigo of the recently arrived and am always a little surprised to feel the ground sure-footed beneath me. But hauled up from the depths, four journals do testify to the time spent here. Well or not - those are autumnal observations. In an entry dated from March 14, 2008 at Le Phare du Canal.
