Self Portrait -- Jean-Louis Bouzou

I’ve lingered in these parts for a long time, but today, I feel a bit weary; it is high time I moved on to seek other adventures, closer to nature. It's time to leave this society behind forever for another 'elsewhere,' full of happiness, which calls to me endlessly from my mountain and along unknown paths… where, unfortunately, I will no longer have an internet connection.

Before I go, I want to leave behind a compilation of various texts—excerpts from the collections I’ve published and from those that will never be released…

So, this is the reason for this site which, to paraphrase Forrest Gump, is a box of chocolates…

Take good care of yourselves!

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…
