tout le monde
a rêvé.

Going home for Christmas

Tomorrow, I’ll be flying away. Crossing the deep blue ocean. Sharing my secrets with the cotton clouds.
The last time we were all together for Christmas was 10 years ago. My youngest daughter was a baby. Time really flies!
These pictures are even older. They were taken before filters became fashionable. They remind me Lisbon. Home. Family ties. Unconditional love.
Four brothers and sisters, living in four different countries, will meet again where it all began. And they will bring their own families. We’ll speak four languages again.
We will laugh and cry. Of that I’m sure! Because we know the clock is ticking. And this might be our last chance. Sometimes the best is not yet to come. It’s just here and now.
I’ll be offline during a week, at least. Away from the internet and into flesh-and-blood relationships. I will miss you but I’ll be busy hugging and kissing my dear siblings.
I wish you all Happy Holidays! Wherever you are and whoever you are with… Make the best of it! Take care. Be safe. Be happy.

Hiver I

Bleu profond
engourdi par le froid
un dieu part en voyage.

Saint-Malo

Des histoires séculaires
Des ruelles irréguliaires
L’Intramuros sombre et mystérieux
Sous le ciel ténébreux
Des habitants fort accrochés
Au caractère bien trempé
La Manche invahie les plages
Quel bel assemblage!
Au loin, la cloche sonne
Sans oublier personne
Car ils sont aussi solidaires
Ces Malouins, parfois autoritaires
Je l’appelle maison
Depuis plusieurs saisons
Cette ville n’est pas la mienne
Mais je l’aime.

Tout était doux ce matin-là.
Tout semblait revenir des douches du dimanche.

Mouloudji

Street art

Les écrivains publics écrivent à la craie sur les murs.
Les écrivains du Ciel eux, ont l’Imprimatur.

Feeling the blue

A certain blue enters your soul.

Henri Matisse

Something happens, blue thinks, and then it goes on happening forever. It can never be changed, can never be otherwise.

Paul Auster

Blue has no dimensions, it is beyond dimensions.

Yves Klein

Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

Carl Sagan

Find your own way!

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Lord Byron

The straight line, a respectable optical illusion which ruins many a man.

Victor Hugo

Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.

Antonio Machado
