Relaxed. Sipping red. Happy.<\/p>\n

All around loud, serious, happy, chatting, quiet, reflective, beautiful, 20-somethings.<\/p>\n

Noise. Traffic. Horns. Voices. Amazing.<\/p>\n

Leaves fall on Paris streets.<\/p>\n

I am un-noticed by them. Culturally polite or generationally indifferent?<\/p>\n

Another arrives. Like them, he is coming from… going to… but stopping here. Now. With them to share, discuss, debate, plan, impress perhaps.<\/p>\n

La bise<\/em> all around. A cigarette lit. A beer ordered. He is quickly woven into the tapestry of the moment.<\/p>\n

Leaves fall on Paris streets.<\/p>\n

They have all the answers. The two old ladies in the corner, sipping cappuccinos wonder, \u201cConnaissent-ils les questions?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Groups of two or three break away. A smoke. A flirtation. A serious confidence shared. Then return.<\/p>\n

Leaves fall on Paris streets.<\/p>\n

They will laugh, love, learn, and lead. They will succeed and fail.<\/p>\n

Then each, in their own time, will sip vin rouge, un-noticed as they reflect on the past… ponder the future.<\/p>\n

Leaves falll on Paris streets.<\/p>\n
