Paris: Art Museums Part 3 Musée de l’Orangerie

Imagine sitting in the middle of these curved rooms, surrounded by Monet’s waterlilies, painted at dawn, midday, and dusk. My pictures don’t do these rooms justice.

I learned Monet was inspired by Japanese art for these, and they are displayed in fairly small rooms where one must be silent; meditation is encouraged. How beautifully this fits into my year that has included more meditation and Asian adventures.

My history of Parisian visits and love of Monet; my present growth through beauty and mindfulness; my future unfolding each day: all merging, blending and emerging in rooms of water lilies.
