La poésie
La poésie n’est pas ou n’est plus dans les mots ; elle est dans l’acte d’entrer dans le tourbillon de ce qu’on ne maîtrise pas. Passion et poésie fusionnent de la montée vers les cimes à la chute dans les entrailles de la terre.
Une prière à ajouter au registre de l’espérance : Mon Dieu ! Donnez-nous une passion ! Qu’elle vienne de l’étrange ou de l’inconnu, qu’elle soit forte et belle, qu’elle fabrique du bonheur et de la folie, mais qu’elle soit là sur notre chemin, tant que nous avons l’énergie de défier les impossibles, d’imaginer le rêve et d’en être jusqu’à la fin.
