Good day to the blog readers, from bonnie Scotland. 

A day  by myself to roam around this city … walking and walking and walking.  Listening and being.  No pressure, no destination.  

I find and walk along the river Clyde . .Relax. Enjoy. Breathe. Gratitude for being in Glasgow Scotland for a few days to explore. There is a woman’s library but it is closed today.  I googled some places of interest and opt to just see what is here around me in the George Square area of this city.  I have some roots here, I am told, my paternal grandfather was born here and his father had a shop.  As this is my first and who knows, maybe my only trip to this part of the world, can I just wander and wonder.  

Maybe sit in a cafe and read some. People watching is fun. I spend a few hours in the Waterstones book shop. Huge. 3 stories. Lots of great suggestions for reading.  I spent a long time pouring over the shelves and noting books to borrow from library when I get home.  I read titles, covers and backs of books … it is a way of searching for meaning and fit, for finding interest and inspiration.  It tells a lot about me to know what is in my library!

Beautiful old architecture lines the commercial streets. Many high end stores, lots of security. And some Poundland (like our dollar stores).  Some buskers on the pedestrian street. 

Music everywhere… from stores, in shops and on the streets.  I walk and walk. Wandering in and out again. Taking in the culture. Just noticing and being with whatever shows up.  Listening to accents. 

Down to the river, looking up at the buildings, the reflection of old cathedral in the glass of the much newer building next door.  The gentle cooing of the pigeons alighting on the cobblestones. 

Walked about 9 kms today, although they use miles and feet here :). It still is a good walk.  Will probably do one more walk tonight down to say good night to the river. 

Tomorrow afternoon flying back to Paris, France!

Good night, aye!
