Love your work; I left Paris in November 2019 and can say that there are times when I miss it dearly and other times when I do not. Living in Paris changed me for the better as a person and one day I will return.

Wow, beautifully written!
I am in awe about your eloquent piece.
I was born there, unfortunately not living there anymore, but for a few minutes I was there again as I was during the german occupation. Bravo Monsieur Gary Lee Kraut.

Thank you, sir, for this essential reading about how we relate to where we live, wherever that may be (or have been). It would be a better world if more of us felt so centered.

Gary, this is an exquisitely written piece. It’s such a great portrayal of the times from a unique perspective. No one is sure exactly where they live anymore. Contains action, adventure and insights across all of society…and it’s about Paris one of the most famous cities in the world. I can recall every scene even the bubbles in the champagne allegorically discussing the bubble you’re living in. The pictures added a lot. It was a very visual experience for me. I can see the beer drinkers out being sent home. I can see the empty streets as well as the people coming out on their balconies to applaud the medical personnel, the people on the paths now parting for the runners. The picture of the empty street is haunting to me, a revisitor to Paris. You accurately, creatively exposed the surreality of the time. It’s an important piece. Bravo!

Oh, that was good … and new and refreshing and validating! Thank you for expressing “it” so well. May we all be so well at the centers of our own little universes! Warm regards, Anna
