photo: Santorini, for the sun to rise, it has to had gone down first.
Each time I believed
I was arriving in the light of wisdom,
my eyes would squint
and a dark path would appear
beneath the branches of my beliefs;
it demanded that I follow it,
it said « to dispel ignorance »
one must go to the other shore
I hesitated and trembled,
but eventually followed it
photo: Santorini
Chaque fois que je croyais
arriver dans la lumiere de la sapience,
mes yeux se plissaient
et un sentier obscur apparaissait
sous les branchanges de ma croyance;
il demandait que je le suive,
il disait » pour sortir l’ ignorance »
il faut aller sur l’autre rive
J’hesitais, je tremblais,
mais je le suivais
Photo: the small details have been grabbing my attention lately.
It couldn’t last forever.
that, we knew very well
but we would enjoy it
as long as we could
Walking in the daylight
watching and finally seeing, seeing!
Of course, bad days would come
but today we were living in
the thrills of nature,
its quiet march towards a long sleep
but before it would happen
It would make the leaves fall,
one by one, or in heaps
so as to let the light seep in
on the days of severe cold.
photo : les petits détails qui attirent mon attention, ces temps-ci.
Ça ne pourrait pas toujours durer.
cela, on le savait.
mais on allait en profiter
aussi longtemps qu’on le pourrait
marcher dans la lumière du jour
regarder et enfin voir, voir!
bien sûr viendraient les mauvais jours
mais aujourd’hui on vivait dans
les émois de la nature,
de sa marche tranquille vers le sommeil
mais avant de s’endormir
elle ferait tomber les feuilles,
une à une, ou en entassement
afin de laisser la lumière s’infiltrer
dans les jours de grand froid.
photo: autumn in Nelson
the leaves were falling
from the trees and rustling
under the footsteps of passersby
they walked slowly and
tenderness in the interlacing
of their carefree arms
