Paris as a whole had the reputation of widespread filth, as did London, and really any city with a large, concentrated population.
They simply had no real means of keeping it clean, nor was it considered a priority, when there were wars to be fought and new lands to be annexed.
Public health and safety weren't even on the radar yet.
I would dearly love to go back in time and see those days. What utter fascination it would be. Never thought about how insufficient our immune systems would be however. To go back to those days would certainly change one's perspective. I lament, at times, how humans just seem to trudge along in our low level of consciousness and wonder if we will ever rise above our violent behaviors toward each other, but then I look back, even to the 1800's, when there was virtually no consideration of the environment and compare that to now and realize we do progress. I mean look, we have sewers! and weekly trash pick up! Blessings.
I have to tell you too, I celebrate your love of music. Such a wonderful gift your father, I think it was, gave you. I feel joy for you.

Yes, with all the doom and gloom in the headlines it is sometimes difficult to realize that we are, truly, living in one of the least violent times on our planet. Yes, indeed, there is hope.
And I do have a great deal of faith that many are choosing to choose love, to raise their vibrations, and thus the vibration of the planet as a whole, even when sometimes it seems difficult to see.
But then, the higher we ascend, the more heavily discord weighs upon us, so its effect seems exaggerated. I have certainly felt this a great deal.
As for music, I must credit both parents, and both older sisters, as well as numerous friends and acquaintances.
Music is one of the things that bonded us, even when we could agree on nothing else, and it has helped me immensely over the years.
Amazing how sometimes the right piece of music can lift even the foulest of moods, and the effect is lasting. A rare gift indeed. ;-)

Yes, I was thinking of that yesterday. "What!?", I said to myself. "No wars?"
Cool to imagine your family deeply rooted in music.
