When I was a teenager I went on a trip to France. I was very, very excited about the trip. I had studied French language and art for years beforehand to prepare. When I arrived I had a wonderful time, but I felt a bit let down.
It wasn't perfect.
It wasn't Shangri-la, a mythical place of perfection.
We are constantly clibing up the mountain to the summit of happiness. Our fingers clutching at the rocks and dirt, Shangri-la just out of reach.
I walked along the streets of Paris with my group just below Montmartre. I looked up and hanging from a window was a large banner in English.
It read...
Bloom where you are planted.
