About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love, hope, sing under the moon !

ABOUT ME

I think I am an easy-going person as I am quite calm and respectful. I also have a joy of living that can make me become more extrovert sometimes :)
I like creative things, languages, colors, cooking, singing..
I am also interested in "alternative" and ecological ways of living.
And feminism have been really helping me in the last years, to understand the world we are living in, and try to make it a better one

PHILOSOPHY

"Si ce n'est qu'un instant de lumière comme l'explosion d'une étoile, alors tu ne retrouveras rien à ton retour. Mais tu auras vu une explosion de lumière. Et cela aura déjà valu la peine d'être vécu."

"If this is only a moment of light as a star explosion, then you will not find anything when you return. But you will have seen a light explosion. And it will have already been worth it to be lived"

The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho

*

"Toujours nous cherchons l'éternel ailleurs qu'ici; toujours nous tournons le regard de l'esprit vers autre chose que la présente situation et la présente apparence : ou bien nous attendons de mourir comme si tout instant n'était pas mourir et revivre.
A chaque instant une vie neuve nous est offerte.
Aujourd'hui, maintenant, tout de suite, c'est notre seule prise."

"We are always searching for the eternal somewhere else; we are always moving the spirit's eyes away from the present situation and the present appearance : or we are waiting to die as if every moment wouldn't be dying and coming alive again.
At every moment a new life is offered to us.
Today, now, right now, it is our only hold."

Alain
