Celebration

Like Uncle Walt, the sweaty-toothed madman, I celebrate this magnificent life bubbling within me…

On this beautiful spring day, seated at a table with friends, sharing words, laughter, crackers, and drinks, I feel the eternal pulse of this red river within me—drunk with love and joy, radiating through my whole being…

How could I be any happier in this moment, except if I could feel you sitting by my side, our hands entwined beneath the table, the sensual curve of a taut bow upon our lips, and our eyes sparkling with talkative stars that part only to find each other again, at once…

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…
