I exist here and now, I'm this moment...

I exist here and now, I'm this moment...


Nowadays, we always run. After time, after money, after a job, friends, love, the Ghost of Rationality, after our breath... We always live mostly in expectations of, eager of the futur that is to come. That is still to come. But, yes, I know, I hear some of you... You're not expecting anything anymore. Your speech is build on another tense... You're not eagerly running because there is supposedly nothing left to come. Many cheers to all your wrongs... What about, for the runners, you stop, right there, where you are and just wait a second or two, just enough to see what you're missing, what you're forgetting behind or maybe just to check if you didn't already missed what you were running after. Then, maybe you'll realize you weren't running after your breath, but it was trying to catch up with you. And to my dear "sad historians", what about not looking to the past from between your legs !? What about standing straight once again to look back, face to face with your old self ? But do not lose too much time there, because your old self still has to go back to where it belongs and the same goes for you. Then, what about looking left and right to see what surrounds you ? If there was really nothing left to come yesterday, why is there something again today ? Isn't that proof enough that there is still something for tomorrow ? Start tasting today and tomorrow shall come in due time...

Peaceful Warrior, probably the most inspiring movie I'have ever seen. I recommend it to everyone of the above because now I'm convinced that an old mecanic has deeper thoughts for you. For some time I used to say : " Never forget yesterday, but live through today for tomorrow's sake ". The movie remembered me how more important the " live through today " is than " tomorrow's sake ". As you'll see, it's the Journey, not the destination that matters the most, here and now.

Goodbye my lover...



Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow baby,
I'm so hollow,
I'm so, I'm so,
I'm so hollow.

Michel Williams

Michel Williams

As everybody knows, I've always been a Japanese-culture-freak, particularly medieval Japanese culture. Yes, Samurai. I spent my whole life (yes, I can remember some bribes up to three years old and I was already J-freak ) looking for information, trying to find another way of evolving because I never liked nor could adapt the ones around me. So, eventually, I went looking for the Way..... Samurai's Way.... my Way. I found it, at least, I found wich Way I wanted to take. As Morpheus so rightly said, there's a difference between knowing the Path...and walking the Path.
The Way, Bushido. The mean, discipline. Somewhere in High School, I understood why to adore and to seek, in due time, Death. I started preparing for it, understanding Death a bit further and deeper at every steps. With every of those steps toward Death, I realized how to appreciate Life and felt ever more alive. That, now I know, was way too much only in theory. I thought foreseeing my own death, "living" it mentally in meditation, deeply enjoying the rebirth was all there was about it... was enough. But I had never really met It. The only time it showed Itself to me, I was too young and had not the knowledge to learn from it. I had never really met Death and confronted myself with It.

Michel Williams, one of the greatest man I've ever met and, I believe, one of the greatest that I will ever meet. Always had the "lifted-corner-of-a-smile" kind of grin, you could never meet or talk to him without the apprehension of some tricks coming. Any data bank would have turned red confronted to his memory and he was always a step ahead in planning anything. A great man, true to himself, strong in his values, most loyal to his family and last, a devoted husband. 27 years of marriage. Never saw such a bound, spiritual bound, such proof of "eye-talking". He never talked too much, just the famous "lifted-corner-of-a-smile", but did sooo much, daily for anyone near him.
He developed a brain cancer this fall. The doctors did what science could for him, but still it evolved against him. In February, he was finally transfered to a place for terminal phase persons, to his own life-condition improvement. I went to see him this Saturday. I had been warned of his state and that he could barely speak so that every words was cherished. Still, he sacrificed some to greet me, to tell me he was "not too bad" and a wink. I played the piano for him, ending with a piece he always loved that I had learned for him and his wife, Pierrette Champoux, entitled Comme au premier jour... I never asked him why he loved that piece that much, always had my ideas on that and I will always keep those as a token of who he was with my souvenirs of him. Michel went Onward peacefully, his wife beside him, late yesterday afternoon.

Now I know. Now I conceive Death. Now I believe I will really, for the first time, appreciate Life and finally See. I will never have the chance to thank you enough for that and all that you have ever done for me, to show my gratitude for the honor of a few of your last words. I know it is all Karma and all lives are interconnected, but still, I will never forget that, in my part of the Wheel, Life as sacrificed you so I could open my eyes and evolve from where I was rooted. All I can do, is promise you something. I take the oath of keeping an eye on those you have left behind on your way Onward and helping them in whatever way I can.

May you have finally reached Nirvana or Heaven and if not, may your kami be at peace and stay with those you still love so much....

The weight of Acts

The weight of Acts


Everything you do, everything you say, everything you shoud have done or said, everything have infinite weight or repercussion in the whole Universe. Every single breath can change the course of history and Time. To show how much I am not exaggerating, just think of all the time travel scenario. Every actions you do might influence in an infinite ways the life of others. So always bear in mind the power that resides in your doings and those of others. Achieving that consciousness would greatly simplify all life by avoiding futile misunderstandings...

Bruce Lee rightly once said :

Drop a stone in a pool,
And see how the ripples expands
To the whole pool

Iris



And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
