Cosette and life might be worth some white space

White Space

*

Running out of blog ideas, maybe. "White space". I found this idea on one of my favorite blogs. My daughter's. Clicking on the space gives you information about scrapbook ideas on her blog.

This picture has some interesting white space. The white space creates the picture and then as I mentioned quite a few blog pages back that enable you to see me looking off into the white space. Thinking obviously.

So the question is thinking about what. Last time I posted this I was thinking about a gully and a scene from a book.

A person sitting by me on the plane spent a lot of time telling me about her passion, which by the way, was concerts. She did ask me what mine was. I gave it some thought. I suppose I could have said I have a passion for blogging on Halloween night but then that would be wrong. On the other hand it beats answering the door. Even so I have enjoyed a lot of trips to far off places myself. I really like just going to the flea market and walking around with Kathy and looking at stuff. Suppose that is an odd passion. I do like reading. Surprise. I took the easy way to answer the question of the airplane companion. I like books I said. What kind of books was asked. Literature is often my answer for this. When pressed a little more I often mention French literature. Paris was neat. Enjoyed our trip there a few years ago. Lots of books cover a variety of things and are French.

Victoria Best wrote a book called "An introduction to

twentieth Century French

She suggested that French Literature was a great way to tackle the question of "what it is to be human". Also that it seeks to consider social situations as they affect the individual and indicating that history is better understood when we see its consequesnces on the individual.

The white spaces will have to do it.
