Le papillon et la fleur

« Tout crépuscule est double, aurore et soir. Cette formidable chrysalide que l’on appelle l’univers trésaille éternellement de sentir à la fois agoniser la chenille et s’éveiller le papillon. » Victor Hugo.

Free

There is something about a bird 

Soaring high up in the sky...

Something that makes me itch 
between the shoulder blades,
That makes me want to break free 
from the human form
Spread those wings, breathe deep, 
and raise far above the chaos.

Time travel

 

Mamie au Dublin Castle, Camden town, 1999.

Life can be so extremely wonderful sometimes, and so easily satisfying, well...
While browsing some old dvds full of pictures I came across something I thought lost long time ago... And there it is, yes! Something that could never be done again, for so many reasons. 
First and foremost because this is one of the best mistakes I ever made : exposing twice the same film without realising it. Something you can only do with a film roll, a flimsy mind. and a little bit of luck...
This picture is by far one the best image I ever took and I am so glad it still exists.
Thank you life ! And thanks to the beautiful woman who once was and will be forever my guide, my teacher, my counsellor, my best friend and a fantastic source of strength and of inspiration.

Higher Ground

People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No one's gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
He's the only friend you have around 

Stevie Wonder

Anahata

Anahata chakra is more commonly known as the heart chakra. The literal Sanskrit translation for anahata is unhurt, unstuck, unbeaten. This chakra is perfectly sitting in the middle of the subtle body, balancing the world of matter (three "lower" chakras) with the world of spirit (three "upper" chakras).
Its colour is green and also pink. 
A great way to open, balance and energize anahata is to immerse oneself in nature. To breathe in and out with the wind, air (prana) being the element of the heart chakra. 
To sit quietly and to unite with the universal loving power of the Earth is one of the most profound, yet so simple,  healing experience.
