The weather outside is frightful

Noël, c’est la veille, c’est l’attente. (Georges Dor)

La veille de Noël: on y est arrivé. Un matin tranquille, perturbé uniquement par le développement d’un petit rhume chez moi. La neige tombe doucement sur la ville. Les rues sont pleines de gens qui quittent le travail tôt et qui courent partout en essayant de trouver des cadeaux dernière minute. Edie dort dans sa petite maison, les lumières sur l’arbre de Noël brillent, les gens dans l’appartement voisin rient… C’est le moment des fêtes. :)

What is important is that each of us begins to trust in our own beauty and our capacity to do beautiful things.

Some people may wonder what atheists do at Christmas. Jarvis Cocker did, and found out.

We can always find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we ought to be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.

Thanks-giving

Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings.

Earth Day (belated)

Saturday, 25 April 2009 | 19:46


Photo: sacramento365.com

O nature! I do not aspire
To be the highest in thy choir,–
To be a meteor in thy sky,
Or comet that may range on high;
Only a zephyr that may blow
Among the reeds by the river low;
Give me thy most privy place
Where to run my airy race.

In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evenng in:
Some still work give me to do,–
Only–be it near to you!

For I’d rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care;
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the city’s year forlorn.

Henry David Thoreau

Je suis malade, malade… Mais il faut faire la fête quand même. Après tout, Noël n’arrive qu’une fois par an. ;)

Joyeux Noël à toutes et à tous.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

Saturday, 13 December 2008 | 15:28

Souvenirs d’enfance; un texte que je connaisse presque par coeur. Que j’adore ce film… Avec White Christmas et Holiday Inn, c’est un des films de Noël que je regarde chaque année.

“Roast beast is a feast I can’t stand in the least!”

Curiosity killed the cat, you know…

La cynique est... Végétarienne. Activist. Socialiste. Perfectionistic. Stubborn. Attentive. Curvy. Quiet. Rebelle. Feminine. Sensible. Opinionated. Généralement anxieuse. A closeted idealist.

Cet espace est... Un lieu bilingue, libre et ouvert, without censorship (unless you're an evil spammer, in which case I will happily drive a stake through your heart and proudly display your head on a pike), plein de poésie et de beauté (espérons). Now put on your reading glasses and get busy.

The hills are alive
