I Remember - 7

Carnac - Photo de Siglinde Luise: https://www.pexels.com/fr-fr/photo/nature-fleurs-rochers-cailloux-19130087/

I remember that day when, after missing the bus, I was walking along the roadside in the pouring rain, and a driver kindly stopped next to me and offered me a ride…

I remember the moped I bought later for commuting and exploring the region…

 

*

 

I remember the megaliths of Carnac, their alignment, and the energy I felt in that magical place…

 

*

 

I remember visiting the village of Pont-Aven, hoping to find traces of Gauguin and other artists around every street corner…

 

*

 

I remember the Brittany butter cookies, especially the Pont-Aven biscuits, as delicious as they were…

 

*

 

I remember that, oddly enough, while my grief deepened, my paintings grew more vibrant…

I remember my journey through the forest of Brocéliande, the peaceful magic of nature, the Golden Tree, the Barenton fountain, and the luminous yet mysterious stained-glass windows of the church of Tréhorenteuc…

I remember my walks along the coast, the Kerroc'h lighthouse, and the granite rocks I enjoyed climbing…

I remember missing you terribly, but my pride prevented me from taking the slightest step towards you…

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…
