So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I lot of my of friends were there, even ones that I didn't expect. It was sad and happy at the same time to realize how many friends I had in Paris, especially compared to how few I have now, starting over from scratch in a new town. My old office was almost exactly how I had left it one year ago... despite the new people who were occupying it. The gingerbread house my friend Christine made on the door with our names on it, my old advent calendar, a bunch of paper hand turkeys... and everything that I had ever written on the white board, still there. The maze that M spent weeks drawing for me (and that I had spent 10 minutes solving), still there. Someone had added a photograph of me to the board with my eyebrows raised, with a caption saying, "She is Watching You". The bag of clothes that I couldn't fit in my suitcase that I'd told M to throw away... still there. My little glass dome with a cake-shaped candle- still there. The "Hello M!" that I wrote in the grime on the wall.... still there. I guess we've now answered the question of whether they ever clean the walls. Construction on the University-- still ongoing. The post-it notes that I'd made for everyone with their names on them in calligraphy-- still there. Given all that I shouldn't have been surprised that my username still worked, and that my Linux desktop still had funny pictures from the internet saved on it from a year ago. I went to the cafeteria for lunch, and I ate the same food I'd eaten every day for 2 and a half years. It was as if no time had passed at all. M had me over to dinner to see his new apartment and to hang out with his girlfriend and his roommate. He bought and made all of the classically french things that I liked, so that I could be properly welcomed back to France: galettes with cheese and ham, camembert (my favorite cheese), a baguette, Breton cider, etc. I tried to impress his Spanish girlfriend with my new Spanish-speaking skillz. And as I walked back to my temporary apartment through abandoned cobblestone streets, I started to remember what had felt so charming about this filthy old city. Ah well. Still a week and a half to go. 8 Comments. Wait you didn't answer my question about your church on the last post! » middaymoon on 2015-01-27 07:02:03 That seems really surreal in a way. I guess maybe it's better than going back and finding out everything was completely different, though. » randomjunk on 2015-01-27 10:04:16 She took my word--surreal. Returning to something only to feel like some pieces of the world have paused in your absence is such an unusual sensation. » Unicornasaurus on 2015-01-28 02:34:39 OK! Take your time! » middaymoon on 2015-01-28 12:24:26 And enjoy France! Homegirl wants to go there with our church this summer. » middaymoon on 2015-01-28 12:24:55 Yeah, random said it best. Surreal is a good way to describe it. » LostSoul13 on 2015-01-28 11:55:14 I remember doing that when i visited after I came back to Korea after Thailand. I felt like a ghost... It's funny, because nothing had changed, but I couldn't go back. I don't know if you had anything like that. » jinyu on 2015-02-05 12:58:53 It's always nice to go back to a place to find that everything is as if on pause, just waiting for you to come back and resume things.. I think I told you before, I am jealous of you and how your job takes you places » Nuttz on 2015-02-06 07:10:25
