Je pense à Paris: Gargoyle Considering Paris

Gothic Cathedral = Notre Dame de Paris.
Gargoyles = Deep thinkers of Paris.

Notre Dame: Preserving the sanctity of Paris while also pondering its many wonders?

Perhaps this particular gargoyle of Notre Dame de Paris is not only preserving the sanctity of the cathedral, but also pondering the many historical wonders of the City of Light spread out for miles upon miles beneath his feet.

Perhaps he's wishing he could fly away from his stony perch and explore his city of history, magic and dreams.

For now, he'll just have to continue to be a part of history among other relics of 12th century Gothic architecture.

I hope he's inspiring young writers who are undoubtedly sipping tiny espressos at the cafes surrounding Notre Dame and writing in moleskin journals (perhaps typing furiously on laptops?), inspired by great writers of the past such as Victor Hugo, Samuel Beckett, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Rimbaud, Jean-Paul Sartre and more.

Paris, je t'aime.
