Fragrant Life

So immediate, the connection between smell and memory.

Here we are in beautiful Salzburg, traveled to Vienna yesterday, I was in awe of the landscape, the history, the curves of the buildings and beauty at every street corner.

One of the older choir ladies sat down in front of me in the bus. She turned around and told me that I would have to move, as she was very sensitive to my perfume and it gave her laryngitis and would make that she would be unable to sing.
I moved to the back of the bus and sat down with Alex and Max. It made me feel very small.
I wasn't wearing any perfume. I wasn't wearing any fragrance out of respect for such sensitivities. I wonder where such resentment comes from that needs to be targeted at someone.
The love with which I was received at the back of the bus was so heart warming. Made me feel so good I proceeded to win at Hearts several times :)

So, Peter told me what I should say in future in such circumstances: 'scuse me, do you expect me to change MY ways because of YOUR peculiarities?'

This morning, we sang during the mass in Salzburg cathedral, what an amazing experience. The smell of incense floating up to ceilings you can barely see; sunlight sparkling on the smoke.

The world is a beautiful place, and hugs for anyone who isn't sure about that at any point in time.

Happy mother's day!!!!
