at night sometimes

 At the fallout of a dream
without the bell ringing
I wake up
and join the alabaster man
with the long winged tongue
isolating from each other
the old man of knowledge
of the old man of wisdom .

From viewpoints ,
ice crystals
freeze the night of the lost
for ,
revealed forms
organize shadow dance
along the edges of oblivion .

And came
the strong whistle
of a burning meteorite
en sa chute spring
for allow
at the clapper of the night of solitudes
to free the day to be yourself .

the dynamics of the soul

       Blade, once named, a once recognized, does not exist outside of what its observer makes of it .

there is no soul in itself , but at a certain level of consciousness we can grasp effects by our intention to apprehend it, by our vigilance in carrying our look beyond the visible and by our intuition that there are still many things to discover in our world and that the insistence of our intelligence to to want to make clear the unknown so close and yet so difficult expressible is only a stage on our quest for the absolute .

The soul is not a belief nor can it be reduced to an inference ; it is a practice that summons us to be of this world, in this world, through the opening and acceptance of what is .

The soul is movement, it has a capacity for mobility that evolves over time with the story, the number and intensity of metamorphoses, tests successes and obstacles overcome .

Our way of life, this awakening to consciousness, this growth of the Being that animates us ; I propose to split it into three steps, each having its number of degrees of freedom, dimensions of the space traveled specific to each of us, according to a mode adapted to the work which seems to us required by an authority external and supreme which we can call the primordial ocean, God, being supreme, the creative void, the great Mystery or other .

The first one stage is that of the concrete and external realization of the being with the establishment of bases from which the rest of the construction can rise . This necessarily period of experimentation can only be implemented on the linear intellectual mode of duality . The movement consists of a succession of rapprochements and distancings of the two terms of this duality . The perceived elements, felt and analyzed become rushing arguments towards each other until the moment when their degree of aggression, of knowledge and reciprocal esteem is enough to replace the trying encounter a fusion contact from which a third term will emanate : the mind . This step will not evolve not when the two terms conflict, losing their specificity through hodgepodge of their altercation, alter their forces to a halt signifying the loss of a meaningful perspective, somehow death . The joust is practiced until each fighter knows all the subtleties of this art and all the subtleties of the adversary . The exploration of space is linear ; blade, at this point knows nothing of what exists on either side of the only lane on which the vehicle transporting it is forced to move .

The second stage is that of the being whose structure passes from two to three components . The investigation plan of knowledge will then be traversed in a circular motion . HAS from a central area, at the heart of which is the point of immobility that contemplates. The soul describes a circle at an agreed speed . Then, when this circle close to the central zone has been recognized in detail, the discovery extends step by step to more and more circumferences far from the center . At this stage, it is an inner knowing that is acquired, that of being the researcher discoverer of the laws that manage the infinite small and the infinitely large . From circumferences to circumferences more and more away from the center the being is eager to conclude . The goal seems so close . And this is where a reversal can take place . Being in its tri-unity experienced and confused will then be able to draw a broad line on all this acquisition which is only occasional construction . He will be able to die to his work to live again like the phoenix on levels favorable to his destiny .

In the third stage the linear movement being added to the circular course, the spiral of realization is taking place, endless screw of an ascent , attempt to reduce the distance with the absolute, walk towards a future never completed whose promise is fruit, supreme fulfillment, perfection, back to origins, return to self . Shot by shot, level after level , blade will try to situate itself on this third dimension until consumption of the rounds, until our last breath . As for what's at the end of the road no one knows and will know ; and it is so . It could be a stage where souls would necessarily have purified a large part of matter so that access to the return axis raises them above the earth plane .

Occasionally, in the hollow of our deep nights, a numinous orb appears ; sign that some souls become visible to all of humanity be the landmarks and beacons dispelling doubts and stimulating our effort to be . Regardless of the point reached in one of the three stages, the fall is possible as the balance achieved is fragile . A nothing threatens him . He is all the more vulnerable because he believes he is assured . Able to withstand the most dreadful storms it can also be knocked down by the slightest breeze.Rejoin “on” destiny, rejoin “the” destiny ;  would it be direction shown by the dynamics of the soul ?

Blade, this key

Men are made of an incredible substance . both flesh, mind and spirit, they are all the same and therefore all have the same essential powers and possibilities . Their greatness is manifested by all . Anyone can become great . Each constituent of the Mystery, Of which we cannot currently understand, of what is beyond us, is a constituent of man .

Blade, this capacity that we have to act and govern body and mind, must compensate for the limits and errors of man in search of Knowledge . super task, because it relates to the growth of being, but nevertheless a task whose stages, in return, can secrete euphoria, intemperance, pride, blindness, the desire for power, the power, all emotional and egocentric reactions covering the slightest advance in science with the murky veil of ignorance when it is not associated with an ontological reflection on the future of human nature . To avoid this weed there is a solution : that the soul is connected to the Universal Spirit .

The Universal Spirit cannot be a entity from the bottom of the universe or a metaphysical concept from a religious theory ; it is the originary and imaginary place both of sources from which our findings derive . The Universal Spirit is vibrant with intelligent substances from which things come . He's there, in and through all things, and man must come into contact with him and even to unite with him so thatthe knowledge happen . And that's why, to walk the path to Knowledge, there is the soul .

Blade is not an organ but animates and exercises all the organs . The soul is not a function like the intellect that memorizes, calculate and compare . The soul is not a faculty but a light to which we have access . She is not the will or intention but rather this will to be will and intention . She is an unpossessed immensity that cannot be possessed . She is mine and not mine at the same time . I am and I remain in its center while experimenting it . She is the glove and the upturned glove of the grip of our destiny .

The soul is this aspiration to provide oneself with understanding as soon as “question” arises, the question of our birth on earth, of what we have to do there and of our finitude .

The soul is that little voice at the bottom of our chest, this voice from the heart, this intuition, this support, this strength that drives us and makes us want to live better than where we are .

Blade, to achieve full functioning, must clean up what conditions it to our instincts and habits and customs of our earthly nature . The man must be ready for a work of meditation and reflection on what separates us from that better to which we aspire . Man must rise to other levels of consciousness and abandon certain ongoing actions that are not in line with its highest projects .

This inner light must be seen, view, named, protected, and commissioning for, part of our soul, to be the energy of our destiny as a man-on-the-road .

It is then that a work of gathering, reappropriation of these components – corps, mystery, soul, esprit, awareness, light, energy -, urges us to place ourselves at another stage of understanding, to another level of reality . It is a question of bringing together these elements in a reversal of perspective where the dialectical chain which links the components to each other would pass the hand, to consider a ” form ” integrator, a holistic unifying space, a sort of active viaticum, call to order, which would not represent the memory of a remarkable person who lived wisely, but the invitation to be great, for himself, for the form of which we would be the custodian .

This shape, let's call it ” life-form “, will accompany us permanently, on sight . This life-form is us and much more than us because it encompasses what surrounds us . She will be the guarantor, there went, in our own perceptions, felt, intuitions, memory lifts, analyses, actions .

It is then no longer time to move backwards, to think, but to be eminently sincere in his thought, to recognize oneself as a powerful personality who receives knowledge through the aspiration of what is there within reach of the soul, and knows everything she needs to know . The man animated by his soul become ” supreme soul ” moves towards its integration, to his unit .

The stream of his life to which he submits summons the man with an involved vigilance .

Access to his ” supreme soul ” , and, if this were so the fall would be terrible, because in the order of sensitive knowledge the rise followed by a test causes a passage through the shallows . And there will be no free pass . We have in us two interior authorities which draw us, one up, to the light, and one down and darkness .

The progress of the soul is not made by gradation but by an ascension to the order of metamorphosis – from egg to worm, from worm to butterfly . The principle of discontinuity shows its fertility here . With each leap of growth man develops where he is, where he passes and works . The man, his mind, his abilities, his knowledge – of which we recall the unitary form, tears the bark of the visible and the finished, for, going out into eternity inhaling and exhaling its air, primal air . He abandons his skin tunic at the gates of universality .

The soul offers the simple elevation of being as a specific lightness, not in a particular virtue but for all virtues . It is beyond the details that our intelligence conceives . She produces, beyond the procrastination that freezes it – these dead-to-self – , a freedom, an attitude of action and determination in the pursuit of our goals, as well as gratitude for the trials overcome .

Welcome to the soul of every moment, beginning and at the end of the day, at the beginning and at the end of life, in the unfolding of the encounter with the environment whether it is a person, a situation, sensory perception, major ostentatious sign of this form-life that the supreme soul invites to the feast of Life .

” Blade …  I'm halfway of the angel who is my self and of my triple form . United with this clear light, this light is all i perceive . May the energy of divine self inspire me and the light of the soul direct me . May I be led by this spiritual energy that is my self from the unreal to the real, of darkness to the light, from mortality to immortality . So be it and may we be helped to do our task . “

my hand one morning

  All those   
who come forward
coming out of the forest
on the edge of things said .

To those
tormented by disjointed thoughts
the fragments of a past
that we can't forget .

To those
which by sleeve effect
show themselves at the windows
haranguing the crowd of nameless .

It happened to me
gathering my luggage
just before leaving
to immobilize time .

It happened to me
under the shade of a tree
thrown by the moon
to fear the cold of novelties .
I could blow into the conch
and no longer holding back my desires
join with a heel
the mood of the flowery meadows .

Then come back
towards those
customary adventures
join the crowd
top hearts
bar code thoughts
of the daily journey .

why remain a slave ?

 Why are so many women and men slaves to a situation, of a power, from others, by a look or by themselves ?

Why do they live sealed off in the square meadow of their certainties, in the “it's like this, it's like that, there is nothing to do !”, without seeing the shadow that limits their freedoms, this sneaky closure, this access to more than themselves who would make them get some fresh air by going elsewhere ?

Simply because they are afraid . As if the chains that bind and condemn them to their slave situations, were protections against fear . As if these chains of no-vision would keep them from suffering and dying . For fear of what does not last . In front of what could carry them away and move away from their first comfort they prefer to stay attached .

Clinging to their habits, their illusions, their ideals, their lies and their beliefs, they thus hope to stop the prospect of a life which inexorably leads to the end of all things . As if there was something else the real life, this life of which death is an integral part .

But these heavy chains make them sink and drown. They want to die before they have lived .

They pass by of the present, chained as they are to memories of the past and to the utopia of tomorrow . They brood and daydream without seeing the blade of grass that grows under their foot . They vaticinate incognito, the neck stretched towards the pillory at least saying, in search of an oblivion that would allow them to escape the wrath of hazard , heading straight for what seems to them to be happiness .

They are not present to themselves . They are afraid of what is there, here and now . the reality and the impermanence of all things drive them mad and alienate them time but not yet to the point of peeking across the shore of their life .

The flow of a perpetual present makes them worried . They would like so much to take drugs with the dummy lures of certainty, you virtual, clichés that would do them look like others, those others to whom they nevertheless deny the right to breathe as much as them . To blend in with the crowd while humiliating it .

Why spoil his existence to be caulked against the vagaries of life, to build strange fortresses against passing time ?

Men wear themselves out resisting too disturbing tomorrows, too much, without realize that they stay stuck in the same place – strange statues of salt, upright before the stream of life that awaits them.

Why do standing still while around you everything is agitation, turbulence, transformation ?

Why this need of immobility, feverishly protecting oneself from change ?

Because the man is a routine animal, who is afraid of the unknown, strange, weird ; and who seeks by all means truths, values, laws, from insurance, guarantees . And that's why he's willing to sell his soul against any pinch of pixie powder that would make him melt in his dreams, in his castles in Spain .

The man also has fear of his shadow, of this inhuman part of man which by his wanderings ignore, misunderstand, abuse, together, exploits, tyrannizes and suppresses his neighbor .

For fear of death man seeks to live eternally in a great aspiration to relentless routine, behaviors marked with the seal of sustainability, of boredom and sleep “calm” . While our society industry is based on the production of goods that are never sustainable in order to produce ever more in a world hoped for in eternal growth !

And the man invented idols, gods, in order to immortalize and avoid all reasoning based on the certainty that he will only live for a certain time, a over time .

So the man reacts against this implacable destiny . He both loves and hates what exceeds and cannot control . He does not admit to being led by someone stronger than him . He mistreats his own, ransacks Mother Earth and relegates God-the Father to a world inaccessible .

The gods omnipotent turning out to be ineffective, the puerile faith of men makes them return to the empirical reason of the social gods stamped with respectability by what will be said by the media . He melts into the mass, goes at the stadium, at the thermal baths, at the circus and converse endlessly on the agora of virtualities, one eye on the small screen, reflection of the big screen of realities whose too great relevance he cannot face .

Barded with scientific certainties, the man walks blindly … until bumping into the infinitely complex and the conviction that the real cannot be subjugated, nor by the technique, nor by the gods .

If he does not commit suicide not, he is ready to circumscribe, by intelligence and reasoning, the big everything for, swallowing his will to power and his pride, address to shores ofhumility, as a last chance before the supreme disengagement, before madness .

By humility, ultimate cure for paranoia, man must live in harmony with nature in order to assume the complexity of reality by chasing all the reductionisms, renouncing to dominate, take and enslave anything . The man must be in his verticality .

He should then cultivate gentleness, by denouncing the murder and all the violence, in annihilating idolatries, in order to provide oneself with life .

He would be left so to say “Yes” , in freedom and wonder, to what is, for that the dangers of illusion fading away, let the tenderness of the relationship based on frugality in communion with Nature .

Opening up to synchronicity

La synchronicité est le phénomène par lequel deux événements se trouvent liés simultanément par le sens et non par la cause .

In other words, la synchronicité se manifeste lorsqu’il y a une coïncidence significative entre un événement extérieur objectif et un phénomène ou un état psychique particulier sans qu’on puisse imaginer un mécanisme de causalité entre eux .

Le phénomène de synchronicité représente donc une rencontre aléatoire et simultanée de deux ou plusieurs chaînes d’événements indépendants mais ayant une forte signification pour le sujet alors sensible à la mise en résonance des deux phénomènes . That's when it all makes sense .

Le sujet qui vit une synchronicité est témoin d’une irruption de sens qui apparaît comme une évidence entre des événements sans qu’il ait besoin de chercher quoi que ce soit .

Ces phénomènes ne sont pas l’aboutissement d’une réflexion intellectuelle mais d’une expérience qui provoque un grand trouble chez celui qui le vit car elle perturbe la représentation logique et rationnelle de la réalité du moment .

Carl Gustav Jung considère que notre attitude mentale d’Occidental rationaliste n’est pas la seule attitude possible qui permet de saisir une quelconque totalité ; et qu’au contraire elle est un parti pris partiel et limité qu’il conviendrait de corriger si nous voulons avancer dans notre connaissance
personnelle et la connaissance du monde .

Le lien qui relie deux événements qui à priori n’avaient que peu de chances de se rencontrer nous montre, through the resonance of concomitant phenomena, que la réalité n’est pas uniquement constituée de manifestations séparées les unes des autres .

Ce lien qui n’est pas explicable par le principe de causalité
suggère l’unicité des deux éléments en présence : l’élément physique et
l’élément psychique . As if they were “intrigues”, corrélés et
manifestant un ordre global .

Un vaste réseau relierait-il, non pas de façon linéaire mais sous la forme d’un
tissage invisible ces différents éléments à une totalité sous-jacente au monde
phénoménal ?

Le physicien David Bohm présuppose l’existence d’un “ocean of energy” at
l’arrière-plan de l’univers, a background or material, ni psychique mais qui
serait transcendant . Il existerait un fond qui se trouverait bien en amont de
la matière d’une part tout autant que des profondeurs de la conscience d’autre
part ; et que cet arrière-plan serait d’une dimension infinie car ne pouvant
être embrassé ni par l’une ni par l’autre . D’où cette impression que peuvent
avoir les personnes qui vivent ces phénomènes “uniqueness of being” or “to be in sympathy” with the universe, to feel “l’unité avec le monde”, non pas avec le monde à la réalité multiple dans lequel nous nous mouvons consciemment mais avec un monde potentiel qui correspondrait au fondement éternel de notre existence .

Dans ce phénomène de synchronicité il n’y a pas d’avant ou d’après puisqu’il n’y a pas de relation causale entre les événements. Aussi cette relation a-causale ne peut que déstabiliser l’approche linéaire du temps qui structure notre vision du monde .

Pour bien comprendre ces phénomènes, il est intéressant de s’ouvrir à d’autres
façons de penser, d’être au monde dans ce qui se déploie hors toute attitude
préconçue , out of our procrastination and our fears .

La corrélation à distance entre l’état psychique d’une personne et un événement extérieur est un phénomène global qui nous ramène à l’intrication quantique .

Jung et Pauli convinrent que la relation causale était insuffisante pour
appréhender toute la réalité vécue . Ils en vinrent à considérer qu’existait un
lien, a correspondence, between psyche and matter, and this through
“a pre-existing meaning”, qui dans notre espace-temps à relation a-causale permettrait de considérer la psyché et la matière comme deux facettes
complémentaires . Nous entrerions alors dans des paysages à la fois intérieurs et extérieurs où, au travers des échos lancés par la danse intemporelle de
l’univers, reach a unitary world which Jung calls “l’Unus
Mundi”, une mystérieuse et vaste matrice d’informations où tout est en
potentiel .

Mais comment favoriser ces moments de synchronicité ?

Nous pouvons seulement y être un peu plus attentif en étant les artisans, Researchers, d’un autre regard sur le monde où tout semble relié, we them “experiencers” d’une occasion d’ouverture au principe d’unité non-matérielle qui sous-tend notre monde phénoménologique .

les deux mondes de David Bohm

     Pour David Bohm, il existe deux ordres du monde : l’ordre explicite et l’ordre implicite .

L’ordre explicite est à portée de tout un chacun par des objets, des particules et des événements qui se situent dans notre espace-temps . Il caractérise des réalisations temporaires dans lesquelles les choses sont dépliées, dans le sens que chaque chose s’étend seulement dans sa propre région particulière d’espace et de temps, en dehors de zones appartenant aux autres choses . Mais ces éléments ne sont que des réalisations temporaires qui surviennent depuis un arrière-plan qui est d’ordre implicite .

L’ordre implicite, pour David Bohm, est un agencement où les formes-événements sont repliées en une plénitude totale dans une région à la fois vaste et unitaire qui sous-tend le monde explicite . Cet ordre n’est pas accessible à notre entendement commun, à nos organes sensoriels, tout en étant intuitionnellement proche de nous et surtout d’une profondeur infinie . Cet ordre implicite n’intéresse pas la plupart des scientifiques qui ne jurent que par le côté explicite de la réalité . Aussi l’ordre implicite plane-t-il comme une virtualité plausible qu’on ne saurait dévoiler qu’en présence de plus grand que soi, qu’en reconnaissance d’un monde subtil que nous avons la nécessité de chercher à investir .

Selon David Bohm, cet état d’ordre implicite existe dans tout l’univers . Quand un événement se produit et fait émerger une forme visible, cette forme ne fait que promouvoir, ne fait qu’expliciter, sous un aspect particulier et temporaire ce qu’il y a d’implicite à la source .

La nature de l’univers pourrait être alors un flux d’ondes porteuses d’informations qui se manifesteraient à certains moments, selon des conditions permettant un ajustement dans le monde explicite, et que nous considérerions comme étant la réalité . Nous retrouvons là, les mêmes caractéristiques du champ quantique, véritable matrice invisible de notre réalité qui échappe à nos notions ordinaires d’espace-temps.

( Drawing by Jean-Claude Guerrero )

awareness, paradigm and ideology

The knowledge .

To know, it is affirm a translation of the realities of the outside world. It is to co-produce a object. It is the weaving of meaning between an element of the outside world and our faculties to subject this “off us element” to our being, topic thinking, meaning maker.

We are smugglers of objectivity in perpetual defragmentation of our being to to conquer.    

The objectivity is a product that is added to the data that emerges, elle, objectivity scientific. One can also, starting from the object, circumvent the subject which participating and acting in the creation of the object becomes, correlatively, before the emergence of the object, conscious subject.

A dialogue stands between subject and object. Recursive logic is at work here ; we produce knowledge and the objects we have produced participate in our individual production just as much as the individuals produce the society that produces individuals.

Thereby, to know, is to meet the other, it is to appear to the other and by the other while being born with him,  is to open the door to the outside, it is to express oneself. To know is to give form to the paradox of enunciation of the theory objective which combines with the subjective character of the subject.

Paradigm .

The paradigm is a way of linking fundamental notions or categories by inclusion, disjunction, conjunction, exclusion, to achieve a type of relationship logic. The paradigm discerns some logical relationships rather than others in all subjectivity. In this sense it cannot come under objectivity through the control it operates over speech but nevertheless creates the conditions for peroration , this singular coupling of syllogism and resonance resulting to a passing reality.

The paradigm by its peremptory outlines fuels the controversy whose issues it structures and organizes the modalities of confrontation. By its entirety exposed, he gathers opinions and summons their authors to reason as well as to resonance in a double movement of conservative joy and risk-taking in the invocation of the imagination.

Paradigm controls the logic of speech. It is an opportunity to control both what is logical and semantic in a speech. It allows, in conditions of freedom and responsibility subjecting man to his environment, and by his propitiatory quartering between what is and what is not, between the accomplished and the not accomplished, between closed and open, access to another level of reality.

Paradigm covers a wide range of knowledge, from its simplest aspect to that of the greatest complexity. The complexity paradigm needs the paradigm of simplicity to be able to establish its development. Paradigm simplicity is a paradigm that brings order to the universe by tempting to get rid of the over-complication. Simplicity sees an element and not the other element. The principle of simplicity be separates what is related (disjunction), be unifies what is scattered (reduction). The paradigm of complexity part, his, in a dry spin before the stupefaction caused by the unknown, the inconceivable or the completely different ; it engenders the expected completeness in the mode of conceded incompleteness.

The ideology .

The ideology is a neutral concept ; it is a system of ideas which can take the form of a doctrine, of a philosophy, of a theory. There are a multitude ideologies that belong to human groups, to crops, Has associations that will last for some time. Ideology structures, gather, frames and limits the group in its double acceptance of security and liberticide. These ideas are what they are ; they force the “seeker of meaning” to acceptance of what is, to insight, to humility, to a transdisciplinary aim made of incompleteness, no separability of elements from each other and openness to what happens, to what is and will be..

The ideology has no what to do with morality in the universal sense of the term ; it is transmoral and engages the conscious-being that we are trying to be at a disposal behavior made of fluidity of mind, heart and acceptance of all form of life in its surprising, rational, irrational, overwhelming, thundering and marvelous on our land.

These coded systems what are ideologies are above the law. They commit us to be this world while leaving an opening to the outside world, to everything that does not belong not yet areas of knowledge … but within the limits of current ideology.

The ideology ; the path to self-affirmation, the path of submission to stronger than oneself, the path of darkness granted by our fear of really thinking, the path of the dry formulas affixed to the pediments of the temples, the way to the survival for those who don't know how to live.

The ideology, necessarily subject to caution as soon as it is grasped in the aspect of its multiple avatars – doctrines, religions, habits, customs -, and that a complex analysis of its establishment and evolution confronts it with its sources, happens to be the arena where subject and object clash, Between the man and his shadow, between good and evil, between the whole and the parts, short-term overwhelming encounter and creator of tomorrows that sing or become disillusioned, longer term dating, spontaneous, full of energy and novelty, twists and turns, of beauty, of heart, of innocence and surpassing oneself on one's way.

It is, et il sera

 I know nothing , and yet .
 Would it be ?
 A camp of nomads camping between my eyes ?
 A signpost of the meaning to be given to life?
 The black landing strip for a celestial dolphin ?
 The great river of air ?
 The skull of the songs of the essential ?
 A red curtain that would open the wrong way ?
 The raising of a flower in the desert ?
 The bittersweet mirage of a lonely evening ?
 Charity engendering the metallic scent of a sand rose ?
 A love in infinite conversation ?
 The shrill cry of a crystal tear ?
 An anecdote peddled between heaven and earth ?
 Eternal joy without the architect intervening ?
 A sparrowhawk at its zenith mirroring itself in a white dwarf ?
 An angel born in the palm of your hand ?
 A very humble and sweet thought of love ?
 The petals of the last star ?
 A pebble and then its double in reflected jerks ?
 The jet of all our worries ?
 Between parentheses of the face of the clouds ?
 The trail of passing birds en route to thought ?
 Wonder surrounded by two festivities ?
 And "6 mars 2014" on duty today ?
 A pebble in its center dissolved by a comet ?
 The emaciated belly of breathless patience ?
 The sound of crumpling paper ?
 The pulsatile anemone of a fresh spring ?
 A golden room with its tulle curtains ?
 A little girl eating chocolate ?
 The make-up removed on the evening of great knowledge ?
 The crucible where to join his family of origin ?
 One foot in the beyond and the other in the earth ?
 A drop of presence between the lips of absence ?
 A label affixed by the fingers of faith ?
 The frail relic of a saint ?
 The stray cry of a waiting courier ?
 The calm of a torrent emerging from the mountain gorges ?
 The teenager holding the hedgehog of his childhood against his side ?
 A fruit and vegetable basket in Noah's ark ?
 The mystical gaze that makes the je ne sais quoi exist ?
 The incompleteness essential to all perfection ?
 The light that lingers between two screens ?
 The humble robe of the high life that we don't know much about ?
 departure. The free runs finally given to the stars in our inner sky ?
