THE MYTH

27 octobre 2011 by a*urélie

Yesterday I packed a bag that should pretty much be the only thing I can worry about for the next two months…
That is if I don’t try and guess what 2012 will be all about, what is going through his mind, what the weather will be on the week-end, when I will meet them next, [...]

SOULS AND RAIN-DROPS

9 octobre 2011 by a*urélie

Souls And Rain-Drops, Sidney Lanier

Light rain-drops fall and wrinkle the sea,
Then vanish, and die utterly.
One would not know that rain-drops fell
If the round sea-wrinkles did not tell.
So souls come down and wrinkle life
And vanish in the flesh-sea strife.
One might not know that souls had place
Were’t not for the wrinkles in life’s face.

Paris is glistening under [...]

TEDDY AND I

9 avril 2011 by a*urélie

I would like someone to interpret a recurrent dream of mine. But I don’t know who to ask. Last night I had it again.
I am in charge of this little animal. It might be a baby bear: black fur, white teeth, cute and dangerous. Each time I have to take care of it and it [...]

THE MUSEUM GIRL

20 février 2011 by a*urélie

Her skirt too heavy and her tights too white for her shy feet, she was standing there alone and motionless. The silhouette and its colors were aggressively ugly.
I walked to the next room, my mind wandering. The idea came to me that charm is a gift. The girl had received none, but I saw beauty [...]

WONDERLAND

11 février 2011 by a*urélie

I know this guy who waits every night in the small park next to his house for alcohol to stop reddening his face. Then he goes home, hoping his wife is already asleep after spending a lonely day.
I also know this guy who would like to live in Europe, but after seriously studying foreign languages [...]

SUNDAY BRUN’NER

7 février 2011 by a*urélie

In my own little urban dictionary, a brun’ner is a brunch that lasts until dinner or, in other words, a nice way to spend Sunday with lovely friends and no other duty than deciding what you are going to fill your next crêpe with.
A relaxing Sunday is also an opportunity to « re-think » the week that  [...]

YA*WYDD

24 janvier 2011 by a*urélie

Good morning!
Today is my birthday and this is my mantra for a year and more:

Everything we do matters.
When we do something despite strong injunctions not to, it is even more significant.
And when we refrain from doing something (something we would like to do, …  we should not do, … others don’t do, etc.), [...]

INTENTIONS

18 janvier 2011 by a*urélie

Dear reader,
Following up on my last post, although I don’t want to be a hopeful loser, I’d rather avoid the wishful thinker pitfall.
By now everybody is sick of the word « resolution », a synonymous of annual, stillborn, well-worn rules. Therefore I had rather tell you about my « intentions » this year. The word contains a comforting nuance [...]

HOPELESS WISHES

17 janvier 2011 by a*urélie

Dear readers,
Time has come to wish you a happy new year!
I love January. It is full of the energy of everyone’s desires. I will not say « hopes » after reading a radically lucid sentence by Franz Bartelt that went something like « hope is the virtue of losers » (in Petit éloge de la vie de tous [...]

THE YOUNG, THE ENTHUSIASTIC & THE IDIOT

21 décembre 2010 by a*urélie

When you dig into memories or when a detail or a conversation bring back a past moment of your life, it often comes as a mix of pain and joy. Adventures and encounters are part of who you are now. But the acute feeling that a specific time of your life cannot ever come [...]
