Broken wings
Cracked body
Swinging legs
Mouth shut
Sealed lips
Hands tied
Locked eyes
Clay feet
Shouted words
Scared face
Dark thoughts
Unrested feelings
Drifting boat
Heavy storm
Soul in peace.

Sand of the sea runs red
Carl Sandburg
Where the sunset reaches and quivers.
Sand of the sea runs yellow
Where the moon slants and wavers.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment
Unknown
Take the moment
And make it perfect.

The sea is never still.
Carl Sandburg
It pounds on the shore
Restless as a young heart,
Hunting.
One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.
Henry David Thoreau
What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.

It’s a beautiful day in Saint-Malo! The sun is shining warm and bright! And I’m stuck at home because of a very painful sciatica. I have two hernias. That’s no big deal! The first one came when I was 14 years old due to horse jumping and the other one was found during my second pregnancy.
The real problem is when the herniated disk pinches the sciatic nerve. Believe me, the pain is horrible! Everything hurts: walking, lying on the floor, laughing (pleese, stop!), sleeping, being seated, coughing, going to the toilet (OMG!).
The doctor says this may last 2 weeks, so I just need to be patient. Meanwhile, I try to feed my brain to smooth the pain. Reading, writing and listening to music (I can’t dance in the kitchen like I usually do) are always good medicine. At least, I can sing along!
Some days are diamonds

Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked.
Half of me is ocean

Half of me is sky.

When all else fails, take a vacation.

Sometimes we are too busy
To pay attention to details
Or maybe we are just distracted
Who knows?
The beach is empty
The sea is calm
Peaceful moment
The pool is overflowing
Where? I don’t see it.
Look closer!

Summer is singing with joy, and the beaches are inviting you with dancing waves.

I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.
Jack McBrayer
Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see, but it is impossible. Humans hide their secrets too well….
René Magritte
If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.
