You In Me

  At night, you come into my dreams, inviting me to share a meal with you. This delights me, yet I watch you—quiet and powerless—as you hurl the stones of your inner conflicts with immense vehemence… By day, even when I feel strong, I carry your unease within me: that cough betraying your sadness and your struggle to communicate… and sometimes, that stomachache—like a guilty past you cannot digest, cannot forgive yourself for… I long to share with you, this joy and childlike carefree spirit that now forms the skeleton of my being… The happiness of plunging my hands into the garden soil, giving and nurturing life. The pleasure of cooking and savoring what I've grown. These conversations filled with smiles and laughter among friends. These words, shapes, and colors I bring to life day by day—blazing suns that light up my world… I wish to brighten your night. Forgive yourself, love yourself… and let us meet again!...

A Mountain Meeting

Further along, I meet the sheep and then the shepherd and his dog sharing an umbrella. Like me, he really enjoys talking. He reminds me that we've met before; in fact, we crossed paths one day when I was visiting the sheepfold with my brother – and he was going down to the village. We chat about this and that, about Jean-Pierre and Fernande – the people who sold me the sheepfold – whom he has known since childhood. I learn that the village grocer is his niece. His dog, who was wary of me at the very beginning, now puts his muzzle in the palm of my hand – as if to say: “I like you!… You’re kind!”

Despite the rain and the icy wind, I feel warm…
