St Severin

While I was at the Oriole Mill, I wove the piece in the bottom photo. It's a picture of the interior of St Severin, my favorite church in Paris. It has amazing arches called "palmtree" vaults, and they're completely unique. I love High Gothic anywhere I can get it, but this place feels special. It's lower and darker than the usual upward reaches of a Gothic cathedral, and it feels very intimate and homey. Lucky for me, it's a block away from my apartment. I took the photo on the top this morning, when I went to say hello to the church and light candles for my family. In my completely arbitrary rules of religious observance, lighting candles is OK for someone who doesn't believe in God. I like showing my wishes in a visible form. The candles can make my hopes for my loved ones very solid, and I appreciate them for that service.
So everyone, in case the universe thinks candles are hokey, and it only responds to binary code (presumably because it thinks that doing everything through the internet makes it look hip to its friends), let this serve as my well-wishing.
