The importance of giving

 The attention paid to others that this gift calls for .

A normality of giving and attention and not a conformity to a moral rule .

Attention that goes hand in hand with respect .

And then there is humility …  Like sand which slips through the fingers and is never acquired .

Awakening in us of this nostalgia for the values ​​which sometimes fade .

Serenity

just be there, in his body, gracefully. Breathe the air present.

And see. To feel your whole being dissolve in the face of this which is in front of you.

And what does it matter if the limit between me and what I give myself to see is emerging, moving, blurred and then seeming animated by an energy without source or destination.

For long minutes, to wait or not to wait, what does it matter since I am just as much the origin as the end of the world, and that the time pulses out of time passing a music so insistent that I layer my thought and my words on the present mystery.

May only the lark take me out of this daydream to tell me that it's late and that I'll have to go home.

Every face

  Each face is a text to decipher .
If I observe the face of the other without
reduce it to what I think I know of it,
then an opening can occur in
my conscience and this is how God
comes to mind .

The face of the other recognized in its otherness
is of the order of the elusive and
the infinite .

The face is a continent that we never have
finished exploring, a limitless land,
a bottomless ocean.

His features, its relief like that of
the Earth's crust, bear the imprint of
all the big and small shakes
who marked him .

Reading between the lines of the face supposes a
" clairvoyance " that comes from the heart, go straight
in the heart and which is called love.
Le visage, this icon of the invisible, is good
plus fine, more precious and even more beautiful,
when the being who painted it by his experience, is
passed through the test.

The relationship with the face occurs as
goodness .

Look at a person's face, it is to put
his ego aside, it's trying to forget,
self ; is to allow oneself to be contemplated by the face of
the other, of this neighbor who is there, in front of
oneself and obliges us, necessarily and tenderly,
to make the stranger his closest brother.

" Looking at you your good smile invades me ...
Am I still of this world ? "
" thank you godmother . Thank you my good fairy . "
