fluctuat
I have adopted "fluctuat nec mergitur" as my new motto. I forgive you for thinking I have become the city of Paris as in fact they share my motto and it's even on their coat of arms! A friend first translated it as such: she wavers but is not immersed. But then I found this other translation: She is tossed by the waves, but is not sunk.
Perfect.
Perfect.

lovely motto!
so much better than the too-demanding nihil sed optimum (nothing but the best), quaecueque vera (whatsoever things are true), or ad astra (to the stars). i like this paris motto, very much.
My alma mater's motto was fiat lux, let there be light, but of course we called it flat lux, after the paint.
E cosi desio me mena.
