Extract :
Anyway things leave us sooner or later
Life leaves us sooner or later
It flows like a stream
It’s just an illusion – thinking you can hold on, hang on, hold fast
On a planet sailing through the space at thirty kilometres a second – One hundred thousand kilometres per hour – Three hundred times the TGV
Riddling nights under our skins
Beautiful silence
Beautiful loneliness
And beautiful clouds : where is the end of your course ?
(…)
Go to the place of the water where the big swells are born
Save stocks of salt for your old days
Don’t let yourself get stuck in the tide of links, things and actions
Unclutter yourself – unload – unbore yourself – let’s act acrobatic
Do what you like and like what you do
To your star, Anita
Adventure is so much easier, there
Even the fear, there, is easier than the globalised cities’ fear
Fear of not being good enough
Fear of not being loved
Fear of not being, period.
