Senteurs & Saveurs – The Artemisia Museum, Forcalquier

A little diversion from books, a post about my recent visit to the Haute Provence region and a museum dedicated to the scented and medicinal plant and aromatic history on and surrounding the local Mountain of Lure.

“In life, time runs together in its sameness, but in fiction time is condensed—one action springboards into another, greater action.

Cause and effect are so much clearer in novels than they are in life.

You might not see how everything threads together as you read along, but when you look back from the end of the story, the map becomes clear.”

Ann Patchett, These Precious Days
