Embrace

Embrace difference Embrace separation Embrace time. Embrace the shadow. For through acceptance all duality dissolves... 

I Remember - 2

I remember those times when we found ourselves alone in the coffee area; we lost all sense of time, we were so happy to be together – so much so that one day, the assistant director came to chase us away…

I remember this florist shop from Place Bellecour in Lyon that I drew at the time with Paint, and which you appreciated so much…

I remember your finger between my shoulders and the electric shock I felt as I looked out the window and daydreamed in a hallway…

I remember a group evening I didn't want to participate in... I didn't want to get attached to you, yet at the same time, I wanted to create a longing in you... Great success: I couldn't stop thinking about you that whole lonely evening…

I remember thinking that I couldn’t act with you the way I had acted with my previous encounters… You were special; you seemed to know all my tricks... and never let any of your emotions show…

I remember a great incomprehension; even though I found you pretty, I felt no physical desire for you; I just needed to be in your presence...

Passive acceptance. Resignation. The other becomes a fixture in our lives, like a piece of furniture… until fatigue and reflection creep in. We begin analyzing everything, qu...

You Will Be Reborn

Recently, I have felt your night... It's time to go get her quickly and set her free! I can hear her singing and dancing barefoot under the deafening sun of her childish laughter. Shatter the walls where you have locked her up all these years, thinking you were protecting her! Nowadays, the little girl you once were is much stronger than you. Her heart is the hotline to your soul. Her intense joy of living and her light will save you… You will be reborn.

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…
