The title of that 1989 Richard Bohringer book fits our experience of early morning Montmartre just as well as it’s self-inflicted description: “A ride, eye and the mind wide open to the spirit of the city and the right to life, a road of pain, joys and, eventually, hopes.”.

2015 has been a bumpy political ride throughout the planet, with terrorism once again on the rise, intolerance and xenophobia officially encouraged by arrogant opinion leaders and global trust at an all time low. I’m all the more grateful for the high-quality community that has formed around DearSusan. As they do every year, WordPress sent […]
