&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Connais-toi toi-même.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;e cherche depuis longtemps, mais ne trouve que miroirs et abysses.&amp;nbsp; Comment se connaître soi-même, sans Autre?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Comment voir les choses, incluant moi-même, telles qu&#39;elles sont?&amp;nbsp; Pratiquer le vipassana?&amp;nbsp; Or n&#39;y trouvons-nous pas qu&#39;un bal d&#39;impermanences et d&#39;inter-relations? Moi-même, sans l&#39;attachement à l&#39;Autre, serait ainsi pur vide (en expansion?).&amp;nbsp; Ça expliquerait mon ressenti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Comme le soleil au centre d&#39;un système planétaire lui-même flanqué dans l&#39;une des branches d&#39;une galaxie qui se meut dans un cosmos indéfini, l&#39;égo est un noyau autours duquel gravitent désirs inconscients, habitudes, névroses, rôles et personnalités...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et l&#39;égo fonctionne. Ce n&#39;est pas péjoratif. C&#39;est pragmatique.&amp;nbsp; L&#39;égo se construit et fonctionne... et je cherche en celui-ci la source d&#39;une motivation qui serait parfaitement indépendante...&amp;nbsp; Ma motivation propre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Comme en complémentarité à la prescription du temple de Delphes (&lt;i&gt;Gnothi Seauton&lt;/i&gt; : connais-toi toi-même), la&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;sagesse védique propose plutôt: &quot;Vois le Soi&quot; (Atman).&amp;nbsp; Et c&#39;est là que je tends à regarder: le Soi, le global, le Tout, ce métaphysique qui comprend toutes les cartes,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;en plus &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;du territoire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;YOUTUBE-iframe-video&quot; data-thumbnail-src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-S6cUG9b-dk/0.jpg&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/-S6cUG9b-dk?feature=player_embedded&quot; width=&quot;320&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Petit aparté néanmoins pertinent.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Du coup, difficile de savoir ce que JE &lt;i&gt;veux&lt;/i&gt;. Difficile de me positionner au noyau de l&#39;égo et du système solaire. Le paradoxe me garde en déséquilibre: JE SAIS que nous sommes des milliards de centres, égaux.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et si chaque centre y fuge (supposition purement poétique!), si de chaque centre s&#39;enfuit, alors du miens s&#39;élancent assurément quelques choses.. comme autant de désirs inconscients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mais le désir...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot;Le désir est un manque que rien ne peut combler&quot;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Le désir contre la Présence. Le désir comme le temps et l&#39;espace. C&#39;est la Vie qui vit, la graine qui germe vers la lumière, l&#39;inconscient qui cherche à se révéler, le moteur de la création&lt;i&gt; et &lt;/i&gt;de l&#39;évolution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Le désir du sujet est attiré vers l&#39;object mais existe en et pour lui-même, au fond. Le désir paradoxe, dépendant et indépendant à la fois. Une danse, au rythme de la musique des sphères.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Désir-impulsion. Désir-de-possession, désir et consommation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Inconnu, irrationnel-désir.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mystère et désir.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fantasme, distortion et désir.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Désir-plaisir.&amp;nbsp; Le désir a faim, a soif, et se tord de l&#39;intérieur vers l&#39;ailleurs, vers l&#39;Autre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Accepter la perte de contrôle pour reconnaître le désir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Désir-apprentissage.&amp;nbsp; Désir-croissance.&amp;nbsp; Pont tantrique entre Éros et Logos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et qu&#39;arrive-t-il de l&#39;autre côté, à être object de désir? Être le pendant physique, la toile de projection d&#39;un phénomène psychique. Se sentir disparaître dans des yeux humains, partiels, déformants, désirants. Voir ses propres désirs confrontés.&amp;nbsp; Étouffer. Et du coup, désirer autonomie et liberté.&amp;nbsp; Désirer se nommer soi-même ... mais douter qu&#39;on soit quoi que ce soit sans la danse.&amp;nbsp; Désirer s&#39;individuer, s&#39;affranchir et devenir soi, franc.he et droit.e. en une quelconque direction...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mais comment?&amp;nbsp; Dans quelle direction?&amp;nbsp; ...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je prends conscience que mon plus grand désir n&#39;a personne ni rien pour object, ou à l&#39;inverse, Tout.&amp;nbsp; Je prends conscience que si je doute souvent d&#39;avoir quelque désir ou motivation qui me soit propre et qui ne dépende pas de l&#39;Autre, il en existe bien un qui soit très profond et omniprésent.&amp;nbsp; C&#39;est un élan indéfectible vers la Sagesse et la Connaissance. Un Amour intarissable pour la Vie qui vit, et donc pour le désir. J&#39;aime et j&#39;aimerai l&#39;Amour et le Désir, cet appel du transcendant qui attire mon centre sans relâche, qui me prendra, vulnérable à l&#39;illusion de ma dissolution, dans chaque espace entre l&#39;inspiration et l&#39;expiration.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mais je suis sauvée, car je désire.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Et comment?&amp;nbsp; Comme ça.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Je suis ce que je suis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhViNRV4r-eLgJiFUUu4XTYDcyx0gpykA4h023SSZsWl7KNFb98WDDS4GesxNUtec4Ewty9fkMvRpklA8mbJd3S8g4LFw_HA2y4B_agoQMwbUeSbEHwyBWkSV9ujyicuuiE4x4wgIAmXqpt/s1600/FullSizeRender%255B10%255D.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;br class=&quot;Apple-interchange-newline&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;We&#39;ve now arrived at our final destination. Five weeks to go, only one before my special lady friend joins me. I have one more week at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.subbody.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Subbody Butoh School&lt;/a&gt; and then Sara and I are taking on a 200-hour yoga teacher training. I feel so excited about it all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;My daily life is pretty simple. I get woken up by barking dogs and non-melodic birds (&lt;/span&gt;I have yet to find an India ornithologist who can tell me the name of this most annoying bird I hear all the time.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;) Getting out of bed, I step on the cold ceramic floor while making a conscious effort to remember: must&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;brush teeth with tap water. I then take a spoonful of this Ashwagandha paste I have discovered - more on this later - and prepare some green tea. Curtains open, I greet the Dhauladar every morning with a short series of Sun Salutations. Taking the time to loosen up and breathe in deeply, this morning ritual has been a real delight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Introducing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhauladhar&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dhauladar Mountain Range&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and one of its many pretty late afternoon dresses.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I evolve in a perimeter of about 40 square meters: apartment, this café where I am right now, and the Butoh school. I do not wander off too much without planning a bit, because it&#39;s impossible to get anywhere without calling it a trek. Hence this café, called&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://illiteratibooksandcoffee.wordpress.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Illiterati&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;because the concept is that its walls are filled with books (yeah!), has pretty much become my general quarters. I come here every day for a good wifi connection and a cup of tea or a meal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
The only thing that never changes is change itself.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I have plenty of time before school starts, so most of the time I actually go there around 9am to breathe and stretch some more, and meditate a bit. Then it&#39;s morning session. This butoh training method, Subbody, is all about calming the mind in order to connect with the subconscious realm in which our body is our mind is our body. Mornings are dedicated to what they call &#39;&#39;conditioning&#39;&#39;; it can be massage, spinal consciousness, walking meditation, or anything that will gently connect us with body-consciousness. Needless to say: I love it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Weeks go by very quickly. We mix self-exploration with group resonance session. I feel that my butoh is slowly expanding; or perhaps is just my mind quieting a bit more. No concepts, no politics, no pressure on myself, I am actually managing to mostly just remain curious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMPCMeq0v-Hkvv9xNf7zt-lOKAJS6IZ5NiEXiSILc2c8SimRr42CwY-mO_7kAU4F8yZpYNPbCkGrPYiR-RMz4UuyoTOfkc4DccmEEVEMCFETYsOWUP2rBw1YsZKQPcXGurT0AZKb2OT_G/s1600/IMG_2708.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;480&quot; data-original-width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMPCMeq0v-Hkvv9xNf7zt-lOKAJS6IZ5NiEXiSILc2c8SimRr42CwY-mO_7kAU4F8yZpYNPbCkGrPYiR-RMz4UuyoTOfkc4DccmEEVEMCFETYsOWUP2rBw1YsZKQPcXGurT0AZKb2OT_G/s320/IMG_2708.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The butoh we explore in this school is very much inspired by the work of Tatsumi Hijikata. It is hard but I keep what Rhizome Lee (our teacher) had written as the main guiding principle: butoh expands the notion of what a being human is/means. This quote, which comes from Hijikata himself, means that the work of butoh&amp;nbsp;is to think outside the common notion of humanity to incorporate all the realms that make us: single-cell organisms, ancestors, natural elements, surrealist dreams, etc. This is what we dance, or rather, this is what we open ourselves up to be danced by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I feel that I am starting to understand what butoh is.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This being said, I know there is still - and probably will always remain - something alluding me... like... I&#39;m not a fully-enlightened-by-cosmic-grace-dancer yet. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;On the weekends, I get out of my living perimeter and hike up to McLeod Ganj. The area, known as Little Lhasa,&amp;nbsp;is home to a large population of Tibetans who have migrated to escape from Chinese oppression and to settle around the temple in exile of their political and spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s been filling up with an increasing number of tourists in recent years. You won&#39;t be surprised if I tell you I&#39;ve been having mixed feeling about this. But then I&#39;m on a journey to being softer with myself, so instead of feeding the politically critical chatter, I&#39;ve actually surrendered to my love for beautiful shiny things!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been trying to find out about the name of the artist(s) &lt;br /&gt;
behind these gorgeous murals.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;In truth, I&#39;ve noticed that I feel soooo good after spending a bit of time inside a small shop filled with gemstones and statues of Shiva.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;So, I&#39;ve actually been thinking about starting a little import business myself! If beauty soothes me this much, it can certainly benefit others too. I&#39;ve met this man who offered to take me to the people who make what he sells. Unfortunately, I won&#39;t have time to accept his invitation this time around. But if this idea keeps sprouting, I&#39;ll make sure to go to come back and go to Kashmir to meet these artisans. I could then feel honoured to be part of the chain that helps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;them make a living by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;distributing their creations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Beauty surrounds indeed, but as you might know, India is a land of contrasts. So I&#39;ll finish this post with a few thousand words wrapped in a series of pictures. These photos cannot portray the level of uneasiness, not to say anger, or despair, that lurks to get to me at every turn. I could take hundreds of pictures like these.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It was really hard to cope during my first week or two here. Now I guess I&#39;ve adapted a bit to give my nervous system a break. Life adapts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been in India for about three weeks now. It took time to adjust. Now I&#39;m going to try and write... Let&#39;s see what happens!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I don&#39;t know exactly why this one is in English, but I don&#39;t need to know. This much I&#39;m figuring out. This is actually what this trip has taught me. I realize it&#39;s what I&#39;ve wanted to learn. Not knowing is okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Case in point.&amp;nbsp; Last night I went to my first &#39;&#39;Butoh jam&#39;&#39; at the Subbody School - there where I&#39;ve been taking daily classes for the past 3 weeks. I didn&#39;t know what a Butoh jam was, but I assumed it was similar to what we do everyday: dancing the question mark.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Got there first.&amp;nbsp; Hmm.&amp;nbsp; Laid down on the wooden floor, since I&#39;ve come to discover that this - a wooden floor - might be my favorite place to be. There, I observed my breath, my limbs resting on the ground, my desire to move. And as I&#39;ve been doing daily for the past 3 weeks, I listened to the fine line between will and impulse. What are my patterns of movement? How can I open up a new relationship with my body? Moving not from the limbs but from the spine, sacrum or cervical bone, like an ocean wave or a breath, listening to the necessary transformation created by any movement or impulse, I slowly began to dance...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;More people started to show up and sat around the studio. New faces - expats or tourists from up the hill I suppose. I had made my way from the periphery to the center of the room, gently stretching and moving to the watery &lt;i&gt;qualia&lt;/i&gt; - defined by my teacher, Rhizome Lee, as &#39;&#39;anything Life feels&#39;&#39; - I got from the music. After a while, a classmate actually invited everyone to dance, because there were only few of us on the floor. Some guy said, &#39;&#39;It&#39;s just not really what I expected from the invitation I got.&#39;&#39; I was next to him so I answered:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;It&#39;s my first time too. I don&#39;t&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;actually&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;know what I&#39;m doing.&#39;&#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;But you look like you&#39;re a professional&#39;&#39;, he said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Ego flattered, I confess, though most naturally I answered:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;A professional not-knower of what I&#39;m doing, maybe!&#39;&#39; And that was it. I had put words to what&#39;s been going on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Because everyday my monkey-mind leads me to the future with its clichés: What will you do after this is all over? How will you make a living? How can you continue healing yourself and shaping a life with enough freedom to attend to your life force? How will it all be received back home? Where is home? And on and on...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;These thoughts are natural and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;are probably never going to stop popping up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Of course life needs a bit of planning and intention. But this need for security cannot become so constricting that I need to ingest anxiety meds everyday. The future &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; undetermined. That&#39;s the beauty of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Coming to India has put me through an interesting emotional curve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;s one would expect, the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;arrival in Delhi - in the middle of the night - was unsettling. But I had preemptively organized everything: I had a private taxi-driver pick me up&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;at the airport. He&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;would prove his identity with a special password, and bring me straight to my hostel. Well, I shouldn&#39;t say &#39;&#39;straight&#39;&#39;, because nobody drives straight in India!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Arrived in Paharganj neighborhood, I found out my hostel hid in some smelly alley off the main bazar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Lots of stray dogs. My first sacred cow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Everything was dusty, smelly, trashy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Main bazar, Paharganj, Delhi&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Next morning, jet-lagged, I went out for a stroll in the bazar to start soaking in the ambiance. Too much for the eyes and brain to take in. A lot for the ears. Watch out where you step. No, I don&#39;t want to buy this, thank you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The men husteling and bustling; women keeping to themselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I found that I could only go out for short amounts of time before returning for short breaks in my room to rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3 days to spend in Delhi. I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;rode in tuk-tuks, took the metro,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;visited the Lotus Temple, and bought a few small things. I got totally ripped off by a nicely-knit, multiple-person scheme that took me from the bazar to some fake (?) governmental tourist office to a shop where they charged me triple the price of a salwar kameez - indian long shirt with pants and scarf. Oh well! A relatively painless initiatory experience after all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I then took the train heading to Pathankot, which is about 2-3 hours from Dharamsala. Nervous about morning traffic and finding my way around Old Delhi&#39;s Station, I arrived there 2 hours early. Had some chaï, sat outside with my book in front of the departure board. 20 minutes before my departure time, I went inside the station and stood in front of the board there. But something was strange : my train was not showing. When I asked a girl about it she said I could go ask for information outside. Adrenalin suddenly rising up, I grabbed by backpack and went back outside. A swarm of men were trying to talk to the inquiry person. Then luckily I noticed a white board with hand-writing on it : train numbers... platform... my train! Platform 20! Run!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Just like in the movies I ran and up the stairs I saw my train starting to move forward.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Run! Run! G&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;rabbed the handle of the last wagon and climbed on it &lt;i&gt;in extremis. &lt;/i&gt;Thank Shiva!&amp;nbsp; Though it wasn&#39;t the wagon I had reserved online, at least I had made it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghNnicFh2o_UEpDLlU-M98xyfObiWP2Bv0cqz0IMGGv18UwBuouS0MyO95wXxhVp0ryo_cudfUyFlm2TJekXfUEt8Y2H68T6wkI_JtKAYynHcElCSdPIJ0zpz7Yu6mmJlWzHmWD54yWo-b/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;640&quot; data-original-width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghNnicFh2o_UEpDLlU-M98xyfObiWP2Bv0cqz0IMGGv18UwBuouS0MyO95wXxhVp0ryo_cudfUyFlm2TJekXfUEt8Y2H68T6wkI_JtKAYynHcElCSdPIJ0zpz7Yu6mmJlWzHmWD54yWo-b/s320/FullSizeRender.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I gathered myself and looked around: people were sitting on the floor, a sikh man with a boy, a shoeless hindu monk, some kids with their mom in the corner. I felt I was taking up a lot of space with my big bags and my white skin. When I walked to the door to go through to the next wagon, I found it only led to the ... how do you call those sqatty latrine-type holes in the floor? Stopped breathing for a split-second before I chose to accept and enjoy. So I put my rucksack down and sat on it, my back against the thin wall of that shitty stall, and did like those men were doing: enjoy the wind on my face as I stared out at the landscape passing before our eyes through the open door.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;We arrived in Pathankot an hour and 30 minutes late. I was starting to feel queezy inside and hoped there would be cabs available to drive me to Dharamsala after dark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I might have paid more than needed, but my driver, Munna, turned out to be very sweet. My stomach, on the other hand, was not giving such a pleasing sensation. I was getting increasingly uncomfortable and I was very tired. We were but a few curvy kilometers away when I urgently asked Munna to pull over : hello food poisoning. I shall spare you the details of what happened next. Let&#39;s just say that for the next few days, I always knew where I could find the bathroom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHE6yAz_TaWiqPFYtwQLqB77OLN5iXtWUFKbPnogW_D0LbbH5A4cHcdr4lKOLwLDDe6lZJpYxo2Vb3Y_xnhXWBapsht0SdG8D3yLT_pQNQkeUiEFFVVyKrGjnHXsZHcLrvgOJ0bQpjKzJ/s1600/FullSizeRender%255B2%255D.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;640&quot; data-original-width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHE6yAz_TaWiqPFYtwQLqB77OLN5iXtWUFKbPnogW_D0LbbH5A4cHcdr4lKOLwLDDe6lZJpYxo2Vb3Y_xnhXWBapsht0SdG8D3yLT_pQNQkeUiEFFVVyKrGjnHXsZHcLrvgOJ0bQpjKzJ/s320/FullSizeRender%255B2%255D.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I thereby had my first experience of turista, or as it is called in these parts of the world: delhi belly. With unpredictable bowels for only company, abandoned by my usually faithful appetite, I found my arrival in this new environment difficult. I thank my girlfriend who helped me through it diligently and patiently, connecting to video chat with me several times a day. Even though I knew it would pass, I needed someone I could cry in front of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;And the people I spoke to were nice too. They had empathy and advice for me: eat some papaya seeds, bananas, rice... and if I was still sick after 6-7 days, I should probably go get tested to put a name on this intestinal invader and get the right antibiotic. So I did that... and &lt;i&gt;abracadabra&lt;/i&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;What I&#39;ve learned in this : my friends, if it ever happens to you, getting tested is so worth it!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This again is becoming a looooong blog post.&amp;nbsp; So why don&#39;t I leave it at this and let you go to the next post for another piece of adventure?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je dois accepter qu&#39;il m&#39;est impossible d&#39;exprimer toutes les impressions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;accepte que cette&amp;nbsp;fois-ci, c&#39;est&amp;nbsp;dans le silence que s&#39;opèrent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;les transformations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;observe encore de mon oeil&amp;nbsp;politique les grandes églises édifiées en d&#39;autres temps, les graffitis comme des balafres criant: &#39;&#39;il y a toujours de la vie ici!&#39;&#39;. Ces villes historiques. Étroits passages, murs élevés, aux abords de tant de fleuves nourriciers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Prise entre les temps et l&#39;apprentissage du moment. J&#39;accepte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Il vit libre, sans carte de crédit, et gagne sa vie en tant que mécanicien et livreur de bateaux. Il ne porte plus de chaussures depuis près de dix ans, sauf lorsque cela est requis.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Plaques tournantes industrielles et culturelles, autrefois ou encore ou en rémission. Des coeurs battants : systole, diastole, systole...

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;aurais aimé demeurer plus longtemps et mieux faire l&#39;expérience de ce Détroit en rémission; parcourir ses jardins urbains, ses restaurants végétaliens, et ses manifestations d&#39;art populaire et communautaire.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Je lutte pour m&#39;adapter au climat et au décalage horaire; je découvre les vertus du ginseng.&amp;nbsp; J&#39;essaie de lire James Joyce dans sa langue natale; mais je n&#39;ai plus l&#39;habitude de lire des romans, et les subtilités de ce vieil anglais irlandais m&#39;échappe.

On mange et on boit ensemble, suivant la tradition. On se conforte, on se confronte. L&#39;air salin nous appelle vers l&#39;heure où le soleil se couche: c&#39;est la saison des grandes marées.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sous la lune montante, l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;es familles bretonnes s&#39;attroupent aux abords de la puissante mer.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Aisément, les rives de l&#39;&lt;b&gt;Arno&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;m&#39;ont permis d&#39;opérer la transition hors de ma butoh-bulle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Florence&lt;/b&gt;, berceau de la Renaissance, a en effet de quoi ravir et faire renaître les sens!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;D&#39;abord il y a la nourriture: fière et fraîche. (En y songeant, ce n&#39;est pas un hasard si le mouvement &#39;&#39;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lapresse.ca/vivre/societe/201006/25/01-4293134-mouvement-slow-lentement-mais-surement.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Slow Food&lt;/a&gt;&#39;&#39; a vu jour en Italie.) Il y a aussi l&#39;omniprésence de la mode, des souliers et des sacs de cuirs. Les florentin.es aparaissent toujours si bien sapés qu&#39;on n&#39;en vient presque à avoir honte de ne pas arborer au moins mille Euros de fringues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Non je blague, je n&#39;avais pas honte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je mentirais à vous dire que mes yeux n&#39;apprécient pas le défilé.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Naturellement, mon esprit s&#39;affaire à chercher une clé dans le phénomène, dans l&#39;histoire. Car ce qui a vu le jour avec la Renaissance semble aujourd&#39;hui approcher une crise irrémédiable.&amp;nbsp; Je pense à l&#39;avénement des professions libérales, du capitalisme, des corporations. Je pense aux banquiers, aux médecins, aux avocats et aux chefs de multinationales. Ceux qui ont jadis remplacés les seigneurs et le clergé sont aujourd&#39;hui au pouvoir! Et comme jadis, ils en abusent trop souvent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Ainsi, autant le flot historique qu&#39;on nomme le Moyen-Âge s&#39;est-il transmuté, comme en une chûte, pour faire place à des âges radialement différents, autant il me semblerait possible de voir l&#39;ère actuelle faire place à d&#39;autres moeurs, à d&#39;autres valeurs, et à d&#39;autres manières de concevoir le monde et notre place en celui-ci.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;L&#39;histoire parfois me donne espoir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Or, puisque le débit de mon compte en banque s&#39;écoule à sens unique depuis plusieurs mois, et puisque que le prix d&#39;un logis s&#39;avère très cher lorsque réglé à la nuité, nous avons choisi d&#39;éviter la région Toulousaine (ah! La belle Garonne!) et d&#39;en profiter pour vivre une nouvelle expérience linguistique et culturelle: Porto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Nous voici donc près du&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Douro,&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;à galvauder un portugais mi-espagnol et mi-brésilien et à s&#39;emplir les pupilles de mille et une vista architecturales : des tuiles de céramiques sur tous les murs! Des murs... qui ne sont pas toujours en très bonne condition. Des édifices à l&#39;abandons, d&#39;autres en pleine rénovations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Il serait certainement naïf de m&#39;essayer à un portrait de la situation économique de l&#39;endroit. On sait très bien qu&#39;il se passe quelque chose au Portugal. Destination de voyage # 1 l&#39;année dernière; le phénomène est indéniable. Je veux bien reconnaître que j&#39;y prends actuellement part.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mais est-ce que le tourisme&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;peut&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;être une bonne chose?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Partout, cette année, on nous a raconté qu&#39;un nombre grandissant de propriétaires préfèrent louer leurs appartements en AirBnB plutôt qu&#39;à des tenanciers locaux. Les prix des loyers grimpent. Les esprits entrepreneurs visent les clientèles friquées qui ne sont que de passage. À quel point cela peut-il être bon pour les économies locales? J&#39;aimerais lire sur le sujet, engager la conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;aimerais bâtir des ponts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot; style=&quot;text-align: start;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;Les hommes construisent trop de murs et pas assez de ponts.&#39;&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Et d&#39;ici je voyage, vers les confins de nombreux univers...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Mais d&#39;abord: Qu&#39;est-ce qu&#39;Hollow Frog? C&#39;est un petit paradis... under construction. C&#39;est surtout Françoise &amp;amp; Achille, un non-couple d&#39;&lt;i&gt;habitants&lt;/i&gt; auto-proclamés. Deux beaux hippies qui ont pris racines au creux des Kootenays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sara et moi sommes atterries ici grâce à la plateforme &lt;a href=&quot;http://helpx.net/&quot;&gt;HelpX.net&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;times&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;times new roman&amp;quot; , serif;&quot;&gt;(&lt;i&gt;Dziekuje!&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Emil et Roksana!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;HelpX is an online listing of host organic farms, non-organic farms, farmstays, homestays, ranches, lodges, B&amp;amp;Bs, backpackers hostels and even sailing boats who invite volunteer helpers to stay with them short-term in exchange for food and accomodation. (site web)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Lundi après-midi. Nous étions en train d&#39;installer notre tente dans la petite clairière autrefois utilisée pour le teepee, lorsque le téléphone de Sara a sonné. C&#39;était le centre Vipassana de Merritt, B.C. lui annonçant qu&#39;une place venait de se libérer et qu&#39;ils en étaient à elle sur la liste d&#39;attente.&amp;nbsp; La retraite débutait mercredi soir.&amp;nbsp; Gros changement de plan... m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;ais pas de doute : elle l&#39;avait tellement souhaité cette retraite de méditation!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Elle avait une journée pour réaligner ses plans, faire son baggage, organiser son transport vers Merritt, et digérer la réalité (anticipée) de ce qu&#39;allaient être ses deux prochaines semaines...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;ai bien sur, p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;our ma part, été ébranlée pendant un court moment. Nous avions déjà si bien connecté, toutes les deux, avec nos hôtes. Mais rapidement je me suis rappellé que tout est PARFAIT.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Qui plus est, je ne détestais pas l&#39;idée de camper seule pour un moment. Les deux matelas de sol et huit couvertures pour moi toute seule: wouhou!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Emma et Nick sont ici depuis environ deux semaines. Emma &amp;amp; Nick sont des &#39;&#39;woofer-helpers&#39;&#39; originaires de l&#39;île-du-Prince-Édouard.&amp;nbsp; Nick à vingt-sept ans et bourlingue et travaille au BC depuis environ sept ans.&amp;nbsp; Emma, vingt-deux ans, étudie en Foresterie mais n&#39;y retournera pas avant janvier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Ensemble, nos tâches sont d&#39;aider dans le jardin et à la construction de &#39;&#39;la maison d&#39;Achille.&#39;&#39; Et du coup, me voici&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;en train d&#39;apprendre à construire ... une maison de ballots de paille!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et ce soir c&#39;est Thanksgiving. Et Françoise me faisait la remarque qu&#39;il est triste que nous les francophones n&#39;ayons pas cette tradition, ni ce mot d&#39;ailleurs. Apparemment, la gratitude ne se verbalise pas aussi facilement en français. What?! Eh oui! Françoise est québécoise!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et Achille aussi d&#39;ailleurs. Mais il a vécu les cinquante dernières années en dehors du Québec, entre San Francisco, le B.C., et le reste du monde.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Je suis reconnaissante pour tout le travail de Françoise dans le&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;jardin, pour les pommiers et pour le gruau du matin. Je suis reconnaissante pour les poêles à bois et les perceuses électriques, les scies à onglet et les bancs de scie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je suis reconnaissante pour la secrétaire du chiropracticien que j&#39;ai consulté vendredi, qui me raconta qu&#39;elle avait étudié à Concordia... avant de faire jouer du Harmonium dans la salle d&#39;attente!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je suis grateful aussi pour tout ce que travailler avec Achille fait remonter d&#39;émotions en moi: vouloir être bonne, autonome, efficace et rapide alors que lui est en réalité très peu organisé et qu&#39;il faut faire preuve de beaucoup de patience, de flexibilité et d&#39;humilité.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Cela créer parfois des tensions. Mais... on en discute. Transparency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;On se retrouve comme en famille.... m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;ais ça n&#39;a rien à voir avec la nation d&#39;origine. Le lien est spirituel. Il est fort et indéniable. Il provient du fait de pouvoir parler une même langue, en anglais comme en français... une langue du coeur, de recherche de conscience. Quel miroir!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Anthony De Mello, Mooji... tant de ressources&amp;nbsp;dont j&#39;avais tellement besoin!&amp;nbsp; Car on ne nous enseigne pas ces choses à l&#39;école: les émotions, la pleine conscience, les projections du mental...&amp;nbsp; le &lt;i&gt;shadow work&lt;/i&gt;. Et pourtant, ce sont les outils et les pratiques qui traitent le plus directement de nos vies quotidiennes: nos relations, nos humeurs, nos perceptions et nos choix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

près de l&#39;emplacement de leur future demeure: potentiellement la plus &lt;br /&gt;
grande maison de sacs de terres jamais construite!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Au travers de cela, quelques lectures des publications de&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Kay Linda Kivi, autrice et poêtesse (son blogue&lt;a href=&quot;http://maapress.blogspot.ca/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; ici&lt;/a&gt;) locale. Tellement locale, qu&#39;elle est&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;voisine et amie d&#39;Achille &amp;amp; Françoise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;K.L. habite avec une dizaine d&#39;autres personnes sur la &#39;&#39;MAA Land Co-operative&#39;&#39;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Juchée sur la face ouest d&#39;une impressionante montagne, cette bande de Queers sauvages et partiellement polyamoureuse vie en quasi-autarcie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Le rêve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je travaille donc mes mains, mon coeur, ma conscience et mon corps. Au studio Shanti, j&#39;ai découvert une instructrice de yoga qui me fait carrément tripper.&amp;nbsp; (Mmh..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Et si je décidais de faire mon&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://shantiyoga.ca/teacher-training/&quot; style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;teacher training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;ici?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Joy Morrell est une yogini qui pratique depuis quarante-huit ans. En soit, ce fait n&#39;assure pas l&#39;excellence, c&#39;est vrai. Mais Joy... c&#39;est une encyclopédie! Son cours, qui dure une heure et demie, est un festin de nouvelles connaissances sur l&#39;anatomie et la bioméchanique.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Ça me sidère d&#39;y songer: on ne connaît pratiquement rien de notre propre corps!&amp;nbsp; C&#39;est notre relation primordiale, notre habitacle permanent, notre messager le plus fidèle et notre temple quotidien. On y passe toute notre vie, et on y prête si peu d&#39;attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;Ce ne sont pas les muscles qui sont raides, ce sont les &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;fasciae&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;qui demandent à ce qu&#39;on respecte leur tempérament. Un muscle est toujours prêt, au garde-à-vous! La fascia, par contre, n&#39;exécute pas aussi promptement. Elle a besoin de douceur et de persévérance.&#39;&#39;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(Paraphrase de Joy)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;aime.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Même si j&#39;ai les fasciae plutôt hypertoniques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Bref, j&#39;apprends. J&#39;apprends des tonnes. Amen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I hadn&#39;t finished it then, so I picked it up just now to tighten iup the ends a bit. This is of course&amp;nbsp;only a minuscule fraction of what I could say on the topic. But for now...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;----&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(I haven&#39;t written much over the past three or four years. I&#39;ve been busy, I&#39;ve been learning a new trade and it&#39;s taken my mind space. I miss it. I write on paper sometimes but it&#39;s completely different than this. Oh! Keyboard, my ol&#39; friend!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m coming here today because my stomach hurts. I&#39;m full of it, and I so I remembered that writing has been my way of coping with overflows. So here I am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Trump.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;One word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;so much meaning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been trying to wrap my mind around it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Is it all&amp;nbsp;because the electoral system is just fundamentally non-democratic? After all, anybody taking a bit of time to learn about, and reflect on, the working of a parliamentary system, is bound to find that there are some deep short-comings (and it&#39;s a euphemism) to all of them. It&#39;s as if they were set up to be undemocratic, just a small step away from the monarchic system and its aristocracy. Just a blink in the blanket of history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;We have to have a conversation about this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Or perhaps it&#39;s, after all, a pretty fair system to &#39;&#39;govern&#39;&#39; a group of people. Perhaps people are not as rational as the Enlightenment philosophers believed and wrote. Perhaps we&#39;re being told that we are rational, and that it gives us great potentiality, but at the same time we&#39;re being fed and led, like animals, irrationally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Perhaps this is the best that can happen for the moment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Perhaps people really massively decided to elect Donald Trump ... instead of Hillary Clinton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;And blablabla, how much because she&#39;s part of the &quot;political elite&#39;&#39;, a.k.a. the establishment. That&#39;s what he used to vilify her. How much because she is a woman?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I absolutely agree that the establishment needs to go. In that sense, Hillary&#39;s&amp;nbsp;election would actually have been ... disappointing.( That&#39;s another euphemism) She&#39;s certainly corrupt, involved in a-legal activities, hanging out with Freemasons, etc. She&#39;s certainly&amp;nbsp;had to step on many heads to get to the top.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;But Trump?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Is this yet another symptom of that rampant feeling of powerlessness, of that crisis of social anxiety? And it&#39;s acting out and coming out in the form of this nihilistic gesture, this &quot;fuck off&#39;&#39; to the face of the world, this collective act of self-denigration?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Or was it truly hope that motivated these electors?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Couldn&#39;t be.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Fear, most likely. And that&#39;s not a climate to choose a leader.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s why people choose their own dictators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Le réveil n&#39;avait pas été facile. Ce mal de tête, qui avait débuté juste avant de me mettre au lit, persistait toujours. Notre nuit avait été interrompue par les cris d&#39;une femme qui semblait un peu saoule : &#39;&#39; Hey! Dude! Where the fuck are you from?&#39;&#39; Il devait être minuit lorsqu&#39;elle nous réveilla pour se mettre à gueuler ... à n&#39;en plus finir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Il nous fallait emballer la tente et tout le campement afin de quitter le site. Ma chérie nous prépara le petit déjeuner, et j&#39;espérais qu&#39;un peu de caféine saurait apaiser mon mal de tête.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Première bouchée de toast au beurre de peanut : haut le coeur. &#39;&#39;Respire Ève, ne t&#39;emballe pas. Sois positive... &#39;&#39; Et vlan! D&#39;un geste maladroit je me suis renversé mon café dessus! &#39;&#39;Grrrrr&#39;&#39; Comme le disait si bien Alanis: &#39;&#39;And isn&#39;t it ironic?&#39;&#39; J&#39;avais attendu ce dimanche matin (euh oui, j&#39;écris à quelques jours de décalage) toute la semaine, et le jour finalement venu, mon corps et mon humeur ne sont pas du tout en état.&amp;nbsp; Mais qu&#39;à cela ne tienne : je savais que je devais me rendre à la &#39;&#39;Church&#39;&#39;. Qu&#39;importe que je sois quinze minutes en retard... J&#39;enfourche mon vélo, je prends conscience de la brise sur mon visage. Moment présent. Premier octobre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Onze heure et quart donc, je franchie les portes et monte l&#39;escalier menant à la salle de &#39;&#39;prières&#39;&#39; : bienvenue au Moving Center de Nelson!&amp;nbsp; J&#39;enlève mes bottes et je souris. Sur le banc à côté de moi arrive un barbu rouquin d&#39;une trentaine d&#39;année, accompagné d&#39;une enfant qui n&#39;a pas encore deux ans. Suce au bec, elle grimpe sur son papa et attend qu&#39;il ait retirer ses chaussures. Elle n&#39;est pas du tout intimidée par l&#39;environnement ; ce n&#39;est pas sa première fois.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Je passe mettre des vêtements confortables et j&#39;entre enfin dans le studio. L&#39;endroit n&#39;est pas très grand, mais il y a assez d&#39;espace pour tout le monde. Il y a des femmes et des hommes de tous les âges, de tous les styles, de toutes les formes. La musique remplie déjà la salle. Au devant, un humble autel paré de quelques objets : du bois flotté, une statuette, quelques chandelles, et des cartes de tarot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;La plupart des participant-es sont au sol et s&#39;étirent tranquillement ; d&#39;autres sont déjà debout, certain-es méditent. Plusieurs ont les yeux fermés et prennent contact avec le rythme, avec&lt;i&gt; leur &lt;/i&gt;rythme. Le papa roux et sa petite fille dansent à la fois ensemble mais séparément. Il bouge au sol et elle fait sa gymnastique sur son lui.&amp;nbsp; Je regarde ces enfants, jeunes filles et jeunes garçons de quatre à sept ans, et je me dis que c&#39;est un merveilleux cadeau pour eux de partager cet espace avec leurs parents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Il n&#39;y a que quelques règles à suivre : 1) on ne parle pas, 2) on ne consomme pas d&#39;alcool ou de drogue, 3) on se respecte, évidemment, 4) on DANSE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Une heure et demie de pure liberté! Une heure et demie d&#39;écoute et d&#39;exploration. Si je veux faire de grands mouvements, si je veux ramper par terre, si je veux prendre une pause pour m&#39;étirer ou juste respirer, si je veux laisser aller mes hanches ou faire du crumping ou marcher sur les mains, je le fais! Et chacun-e en fait autant! Chacun-e ses besoins et ses impulsions, chacun-e son amplitude et sa façon de vivre la musique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;C&#39;est du bonheur pure! Impossible de réprimer mon sourire et ma joie. Sans mots, je croise des regards qui communiquent la même allégresse. Ça, pour moi, c&#39;est la meilleure communauté de prière qui soit! Authenticité, respect et liberté pour une communion des plus guérissantes. That&#39;s why they call it Dance Church! (Et aussi, surtout, parce que c&#39;est le dimanche matin.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Comme c&#39;est régulièrement le cas, j&#39;observe que mes pensées vont du côté ... du partage.&amp;nbsp; Je me dois de l&#39;admettre : j&#39;aimerais tant contribuer à partager ce type d&#39;expérience avec de plus en plus de personnes !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;J&#39;imagine une sorte de Dance Church à Gaspé. Je vous sais avoir besoin de danser aussi, mes ami-es! Et j&#39;aimerais vous voir danser, parents vivants accompagnés de vos enfants vivants. Je n&#39;ai aucune difficulté à le visualiser. Le paysage sur lequel donne la fenêtre du studio est pratiquement copie conforme: une impressionante montagne de forêt mixte, colorée. C&#39;est simple, tout ce que ça prend c&#39;est un système de son, un mix de musique qui nous emmène doucement sur une courbe rythmique progressive, et de la volonté.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;C&#39;est donc aussi ce mouvement que je souhaite explorer, appellons le &#39;&#39;Conscious Dance&#39;&#39;. Est-ce que ça sonne mieux en anglais, ou c&#39;est juste moi? Il en existe toutes sortes de types, la recherche ne fait que commencer.&amp;nbsp; Mais déjà pour moi il est clair que le butoh en fait partie autant que le &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5Rhythms&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;5 rythmes&lt;/a&gt; ou ma dernière découverte, le &lt;a href=&quot;http://soulmotion.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SoulMotion&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; J&#39;ai donc l&#39;intention de continuer mon exploration et qui sait, peut-être aurons-nous la chance de partager un plancher sous peu... Je suis peut-être en train de trouver un fil conducteur, une façon de définir cette expérience qui me fait vibrer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Amen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Si je me suis faite silencieuse ces derniers jours, c&#39;est qu&#39;il est difficile d&#39;écrire en mouvement.

Maintenant sur la Route 3-W, Saskatchewan, en direction du site historique de Batoche (sur lequel j&#39;aurais sans doute quelques considérations à partager). Nous venons tout juste de dire aurevoir à nos covoitureurs, Emil et Roksana, un couple de jeunes backpackers polonais avec qui nous avons tracé deux milles huit cents kilomètres depuis Milton, ON. L’expérience n’a pas été ... époustouflante, mais elle a été fluide, simple et douce. De beaux moments de partage et de silences, le mélange parfait.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;2. Le Haut-Canada n&#39;en fini plus de finir ! Majestueux de ses forêts et de ses grands lacs, Long-Tario, mais après trois jours de route, on en vient presque à croire que Winnipeg est un mythe !&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Malgé l&#39;arrière-plan aux couleurs de carte-postale, je n’ai malheureusement pas aperçu d’orignal s’abreuvant au bord d’un lac.

Ceux et celles qui ont emprunté la transcanadienne dans cette province pourront me valider : des centaines d&#39;inuksuit sont érigés sur les flancs rocheux bordant l’autoroute!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Du coup, dans mon imaginaire, ce sont autant de guerrilleros amérindiens qui vivent dans les bois environnants et s’assurent, de par ces installations empruntées à leurs cousins Inuits, de demeurer présents à notre conscience … Ils jouent à cache-cache, ils nous épient. Ce sont encore et toujours les véritables habitants de ce grand territoire…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Dans mon esprit, certainement, des traces de l’archétype du ‘’noble sauvage’’. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;À défaut de nourrir de véritables relations avec des membres de Premières Nations, j’objectifie et j’idéalise sans doutes un monde que je ne connais pratiquement pas. C’est un monde que j’aimerais pourtant rencontrer. Pourquoi donc ? Parce que j’aimerais bien marcher le pont qui sépare nos expériences, entrer en dialogue pour alimenter ma réflection, discuter des enjeux qui nous touchent toutes et tous et de la complexité inhérente à la recherche de solutions. C’est plus que de la curiosité, c’est l’espoir de pistes.

Les outardes nous survolent de leurs grands V migratoires. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;‘’Wawa, sœurs et frères !’’ La température est froide, vraisemblablement plus froide que la normale de saison. Nous avons la tente mais jusqu’à présent nous campons plutôt dans la voiture, banquette arrière rabattue. Stationnées clandestinement dans un quartier résidentiel de Thunder Bay ou près d&#39;un petit lac quelque part au Nord de la Saskatchewan, nous nous endormons avec un léger sourire et un petit fond d&#39;adrénaline.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;À l’annonce de notre départ, vous nous disiez: ‘’Wow les filles ! Je vous envie. Ça prend du courage de tout lâcher comme ça…’’ En vérité ce qui est le plus difficile dans notre nomadisme, ce n’est pas la peur de l’inconnu ou l’insécurité financière. Le plus grand défi est de&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;se nourrir convenablement.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;C’était comment la grande traversée jadis ? Les coureurs des bois sortaient leur petit poêle Coleman ultra-léger-et-performant, leur gamelle MSR en&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;stainless&lt;/i&gt;, et se concoctaient de bons repas équilibrés contenant nombre de légumes frais et de grains entiers ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Bien sur que non. Alors comment faisait-ils? &amp;nbsp;C’est pour moi la problématique principale, le besoin le plus primaire et la réalité la plus questionnante. Je me dis qu’au fond tout est question de choix. Il s’agirait de s’arrêter quelques heures pour cuisiner de bons repas chauds, mais encore... on la prend où notre nourriture nourrissante? Ils la prenaient où leur bouffe les grands explorateurs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;avant la venue des dépanneurs et des fast-food de haltes routières ?&lt;/div&gt;

Car qu’y a-t-il de plus déprimant qu’une épicerie de grande surface ? Une trois cent quatre-vingtième succursale de Subway peut-être. Je n&#39;y peux rien, ça m&#39;enrage et je ne sais pas quoi faire de mes émotions : agriculture empoisonnée, élevage industriel, produits transformés... C&#39;est peut-être dans cette réalité que se trouve la réponse: vaut mieux se sédentariser et cultiver son petit lopin de terre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Le privilège du road trip&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Sur la 40 en direction de l&#39;Ouest, je demeure consciente de mon privilège. Je suis blanche, élevée francophone dans une province dirigée par des blancs francophones. Mes parents, aujourd&#39;hui de classe dite moyenne, ont bénéficié des apports de la révolution tranquille.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Avant eux, mes grands-parents labouraient les champs ou vendaient leur temps aux usines.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Certains de mes ancêtres sont partis pour les États-Unis pour obtenir du boulot. Nous n&#39;appartenons pas au territoire... nous habitons le capital.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Merci d&#39;ailleurs à Dalie Giroux, professeure associée au département de pensée politique de l&#39;Université d&#39;Ottawa, qui, lors d&#39;une discussion animée il y a quelques semaines à Gaspé, m&#39;a beaucoup éclairée dans ma réfléxion sur le lien au territoire. &#39;&#39;Je n&#39;ai pas de rapport au territoire,&#39;&#39; dit-elle, &#39;&#39;je mange de l&#39;argent.&#39;&#39; Voici une vidéo vous la présentant...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Nommons tout cela : l’intersectionalité. Consciente de mes privilèges et de la domination à laquelle ont participé, indirectement ou directement, mes ancêtres, consciente aussi des micro-agressions que je subis quotidiennement, je m’apprête à traverser, en voiture à essence, des miles et des miles de territoires arrachés et volés aux nations autochtones.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Canada 150e, tu me dégoutes un peu beaucoup. Tu me fascines. Toujours la même propagande. J’ai mon passeport pour entrer gratuitement dans tous les parcs nationaux, mais personne n’a cru bon de nous faire prendre conscience de la violence inhérente à la construction de notre pays.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Personne (ou très peu de gens) ne croit bon de créer les espaces pour digérer, émotionnellemnt, ce que cela signifie.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Le Canada, pour moi, c’est l’histoire d’une entreprise commerciale. C’est une colonisation financée par l’appât du gain, un chemin de fer s’arrogeant les territoires et les vies de Métis et autres peuples, une entreprise d’assimilation vicieuse, de beaux discours sur les droits et les libertés qui au fond cachent le grand jeu du capital. Un État hypocrite. Pléonasme!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Un État paradoxe? Peut-être.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot;&gt;Il y a beaucoup à découvrir sur ce grand territoire. C’est une sacrée opportunité que nous prenons là. I am very grateful for it. I want to be mindful of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Tout quitter et faire le tour du monde pour se trouver soi-même. Un classique.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Fidèle à moi-même - et cela fait énormément de bien - me voici donc à méditer sur les courants à la fois émotionnels et politiques derrière mes gestes. Peut-être que certain-es se reconnaîtrons. Peut-être que ma recherche de nouvelles perspectives saura vous alimenter. C&#39;est mon souhait.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Nous
sommes à Milton, près de Toronto, et le soleil se lève doucement au-dessus d’un
champ de soya. La rosée s&#39;évapore et forme une couche brumeuse à l&#39;horizon. &amp;nbsp;Tout autours, les oiseaux et les insectes entonnent leur symphonie matinale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Au loin, le grondement des voitures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Je
suis assise sur la terrasse. Mon amoure et mes amis dorment encore et j’en
profite pour commencer l’aventure du bon pied et me remettre à écrire.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Premier matin d’un voyage prévu pour durer neuf mois.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Hier, sur la 40 en direction de l&#39;Ouest, n&lt;/span&gt;ous avons fait près de dix heures de route. Au fil du bitume,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;intermittence entre foisonnement de pensées et&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;abandon calme au nouveau rythme qui se dessine&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;. Ce voyage, ce n’est
pas seulement une fuite. C&#39;est une quête.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Mon intention ? Retrouver le feu, le battement, l’inspiration, la confiance. Renouer avec la magie, la capacité de vivre dans une créativité émancipatrice, l’évermeillement ! M&#39;enraciner dans une nouvelle vision, une nouvelle praxis du monde.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Et pourtant je me questionne encore. J’aimais enseigner. J’aimais Gaspé. J’aimais le mode de vie
hors-réseau que Sara et moi avions choisi avec le chalet. J’aimais tout ça... mais je ne me sentais plus vivre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;L&#39;enseignement est&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;une profession qui a plein de beaux côtés, et nous avons de nobles intentions, certes. Mais au cours des trois dernières années j&#39;ai vécu un sacré lot de limitations, de paradoxes et de dilemmes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Et je n’avais pas le temps de creuser, de lire et d’écrire. Il me fallait m’adapter, répondre aux attentes, suivre la cadence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Je ne suis peut-être pas faite pour le salariat. (Qui l&#39;est vraiment?)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Ça n&#39;a jamais changé. I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;l est toujours aussi urgent et essentiel de réfléchir à la question de l’enseignement publique. C&#39;est l&#39;avenir qui en dépend. &amp;nbsp;Mon hypothèse, mon espoir? &amp;nbsp;Il faut remettre tout le paradigme en question.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Il faut se donner le droit de voir le monde différemment...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;On cherche mille et un moyens d&#39;aider les jeunes à s&#39;ouvrir au monde, à développer leurs compétences, à faire preuve d&#39;esprit critique tout en répondant aux exigences et aux attentes de la société. On se butte souvent à leur manque de motivation, à leur dépendance à la distraction. On lutte jour après jour tout en se doutant bien que la majorité n&#39;a pas intérêt à prendre conscience de l&#39;immense complexité du monde actuel, de sa violence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;FR-CA&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: FR-CA;&quot;&gt;Cette année
j’ai envie de voir ce qu’un autre rapport au temps pourra permettre. Voir plus
large que la boucle du 8 à 4.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Prendre le
temps de questionner, d’écrire, de rire, de m’ennuyer par moments, de
suivre des rencontres inspirantes, le tout en gardant le cap sur une passion
qui m’habite profondément&amp;nbsp;: réfléchir sur les défis de notre temps, être
en phase avec l’essence de la Vie… chercher ce que cela signifie. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m attending the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiertemontrealpride.com/en/project/national-conference/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;National Conference on LGBTTQIA2S&lt;/a&gt; rights in Montreal right now. Third day of keynotes and panels on subjects ranging from &#39;&#39;the situation of LGBTQ migrants and refugees in Canada&#39;&#39; to &#39;&#39;domestic violence in same-sex couples&#39;&#39; and &#39;&#39;growing old as an LGBT person&#39;&#39;. Fifty-nine panels to choose from. Right now, I&#39;m playing hooky. I&#39;m too overwhelmed to take such emotionally-charged information in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just attended a panel titled &#39;&#39;The role of Two-Spirit in today&#39;s world&#39;&#39;. It was, in fact, one of the few options having to do with LGBTQ&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;2S&lt;/i&gt; (for two-Spirits) indigenous realities, all of which I attended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why did I attend those in particular? I don&#39;t have to justify myself! Am I being defensive? No! Why? What?!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When considering the list of workshops I chose to attend, there seems to be a certain thread.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On one hand, there have been the ones related to LGBTQ+ artists. I guess I&#39;m seeking mirrors,&amp;nbsp;hints, inspiration. Yes, I&#39;m back to it again: I know there is something wanting to come out. I&#39;m wondering: when will I get over denying that my sensitivity and my relationship to the world are those of an artist? When will my practice and my message take form?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will actually be taking this entire year off, with the intention of engaging this process. &amp;nbsp;I will be dancing, I will be writing again. I will be healing myself. &amp;nbsp;I am entering that part of the spiral again, ready to step a little bit more into my identity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Identity: the concept. As a white middle-class french-canadian woman, I realize my identities haven&#39;t really be so threatening to the societies I&#39;ve lived in. I&#39;m also queer and bisexual, but that hasn&#39;t even been so much of an issue for me either (I can be grateful for this). I&#39;m full of privileges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there are areas where I feel uneasy about the gap between my inner truth and my identity. There are parts of me I am uncomfortable assuming, feeling that I might get judged and rejected, laughed at and misunderstood. &amp;nbsp;It came to me yesterday: I&#39;m starting a process of coming-out... as a spiritual being.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as I&#39;m writing this I don&#39;t even know what it means. When I say I am a spiritual being, I mean that I believe to be part of something much greater than... my individual ego. I actually believe that there is something unfolding at a collective level, and that we have souls-bodies that are informing us, if we listen, as to the direction of greater healing and evolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which brings me back to what I was feeling at the beginning of this post: overwhelmed. The workshop I left earlier left me with such a palpable ball of energy in my solar plexus. So much anger and sadness!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel the same way I used to feel when I became conscious, from the age of thirteen, of all the injustices that black people had experienced in America. (I am aware this is not a sentence to be written in the &#39;&#39;simple past&#39;&#39;, yet I&#39;m referring to the moment of my awakening, 21 years ago. &amp;nbsp;Today, I am more than ever feeling a rage and urgency: nothing is over). I felt the same way I felt throughout my International Affairs degree, learning about neoliberalism as well as the history of colonialism. Or as I felt when taking my first animal ethics class. The roots of violence and injustice run so fucking deep!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am taking it in: as a white middle-class woman french-canadian woman living in Québec, I do have a duty to use my privilege to speak up. I don&#39;t know how far my words can participate in the healing. Right now, I&#39;m mostly emotions. But there are many thoughts to come, some of them potentially insightful...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right now, I have to go back in the conference room. I want to take part in the closing ceremony led by Ms. Sylvia Maracle. We are standing on un-ceeded Mohawk territory. We have much community healing and building to do. A-ho.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Amsterdam la ville proto-libérale, développée grâce à l&#39;argent des ruées colonialistes, extractivistes. Cité née du colonialisme corporatiste. ( Voir: the Dutch East and West India Companies) Amsterdam, là où tout est permis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Petit topo décousu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J&#39;ai déjà vu plusieurs sortes d&#39;oiseaux que je ne connaissais pas! Des hérons qui &lt;i&gt;chillent&lt;/i&gt; parmi les voitures, des perroquets supposément échappés du zoo, des pies (?) noires avec des bandes bleue et blanche aux ailes. Je pense à Fred et Isa. J&#39;ai même vu un lapin de ville! Il semblerait que c&#39;est chose de plus en plus commune!&lt;br /&gt;
J&#39;observe les cours d&#39;eau et les plantes aquatiques. Des nénuphars quelconques, urbains. &lt;br /&gt;
Je prends le poul, la veine. J&#39;intègre les artères de vélos. J&#39;ai la chance d&#39;avoir pu emprunter une bicyclette &#39;&#39;néerlandaise&#39;&#39;, lourde, avec un cadenas intégré à la roue arrière et un système de freins en &#39;&#39;back pedaling&#39;&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
J&#39;observe les environs. Je ne sais pas vraiment où aller. Évidemment, immanquablement, je me vois converger vers le centre de la ville. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J&#39;y trouve bien entendu nombre de boutiques, de pubs et de restaurants: les commercants. J&#39;y trouve aussi les fameux &#39;&#39;coffee shops&#39;&#39;, les &#39;&#39;smart&#39;&#39; shops, et les sex shops. Encore une fois, comme partout ailleurs, la ville se dessine en traits commerciaux. Les bâtiments les plus impressionants, les plus prisés, sont aux mains des &#39;&#39;Apple Store&#39;&#39; (Je suis coupable, j&#39;y suis allée!), des McDonal&#39;s, des boutiques de vêtements de mode et des banques. C&#39;était pareil à Prague (le &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslas_Square&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wenceslas Square&lt;/a&gt;), sur les Champs-Élysées de Paris&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;ou à Sao Paulo. Ça me déprime un peu.&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mandy m&#39;a emmenée voir quelques-uns des squats de la ville. Le phénomène des squats européens me fascine. Ici, comme à Berlin, Barcelone ou Toulouse, il est parfois possible (mais de plus en plus ardu) de s&#39;installer dans les bâtiments abandonnés, de leur redonner vie, et d&#39;en venir à convaincre la municipalité que l&#39;occupation est légitime.&lt;br /&gt;
Samedi, c&#39;était le festival de ruelle Bejestuin. Le &lt;a href=&quot;http://bajesdorp.nl/2014/05/07/column-of-joe5/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bajesdorp&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, une bandes d&#39;artistes, de bonnes gens aux visées alternatives, ayant repris les ancients appartements des gardiens de prison pour en faire leurs maisons et y élever leur famille. Ils y tiennent un grand jardin communautaire et plusieurs activités artistiques et de résilience. Ils y sont bien.  Un petit cours d&#39;eau et quelques nénuphars les sépare du centre de détention. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://joe.squat.net/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2014/05/Bajesdorp_Unreal_Estate_Festival_Amsterdam.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://joe.squat.net/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2014/05/Bajesdorp_Unreal_Estate_Festival_Amsterdam.jpg&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ceci dit, les temps sont de plus en plus dur pour les squatteurs. Les développeurs urbains veulent &#39;&#39;assainir&#39;&#39; certains quartiers. Les évictions, parfois violentes, fusent et détruisent ce que certains ont construit durant plusieurs années.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ce matin, lors d&#39;une promenade à vélo (bibliothèque nationale, red light district, china town et retour sur Rembrandt Markt...), mon amie m&#39;a raconté le récit de &#39;&#39;Vrankraj&#39;&#39; (ou quelque chose comme ça). C&#39;est un des derniers squats du centre de la ville. Jusqu&#39;à récemment, les cinq ou six bâtisses voisines étaient elles aussi des appartements-squattés. Ils étaient habités depuis 25 ans!&lt;br /&gt;
Il y a environ un mois, la &#39;&#39;ville&#39;&#39;, cheval de bataille des propriétaires fonciers qui souhaitent aujourd&#39;hui &#39;&#39;developper le quartier&#39;&#39;, a expulsé des dizaines d&#39;occupantes et d&#39;occupants. Les derniers gestes de résistance furent... symboliques.&amp;nbsp; Les squatteurs s&#39;étaient enchaînés sur les toîts. La police a eût le dernier mot. Apparemment, on veut abattre les bâtiments pour y construire des parkings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amsterdam. Cité sous le niveau de la mer.&lt;br /&gt;
La lumière est belle, le vent omniprésent. La piste cyclable est sinueuse, les trams, les trains... les bâteaux!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hier, pendant près de deux heures, je me suis assise près d&#39;un canal et j&#39;ai regardé les embarcations défiler. Qui donc sont ces gens? Il y a bien sur les brochettes de touristes - &lt;i&gt;96 maximum&lt;/i&gt; - sur les bâteau des compagnies touristiques. Mais il y a les jeunes adultes aussi, les jeunes professionnels, les couples d&#39;amis et les familles, il y a les gangs de gars un peu chauds, et les amoureux romantiques. Qui donc sont tous ces gens?&lt;br /&gt;
Je les regardais me regarder, et nous étions quand même bien.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Une ville de luxure. Une ville qui me rappelle certaines autres que j&#39;ai visitées: San Francisco, pour la façon avec laquelle les trams et les vélos se croisent, pour le climat, pour le courant, le commerce, le port. Pour ces jeunes entrepreneurs.&amp;nbsp; Hamburg, pour ses marins. Toulouse, pour ses rues labyrinthiques, Berlin, Porto Allegre, je n&#39;sais plus pourquoi, mais Istanbul, aussi pour ses petites rues. Prague.&lt;br /&gt;
Je suis assaillie de souvenirs, en rafale, des lieux que j&#39;ai visités et des expériences faites... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je me suis rapellé la fois où j&#39;étais perdue un soir dans Kadikoï, près de chez Ezgi. J&#39;ai eu une pas pire trouille cette fois-là. C&#39;est peut-être un peu pour ça que je suis moins téméraire qu&#39;avant!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voyage au coeur de babylone.&lt;br /&gt;
L&#39;histoire coloniale palpable. Ici, un certain travail de mémoire; on y trouve Nelson Mandela peint sur les murs de chaque quartier, des slogans du genre: &#39;&#39;protégeons les réfugiés politiques&#39;&#39;, et de la bonne bouffe indonésienne...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.fr/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://www.scn.org/foodnotbombs/fnblogo.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0CAkQ8wdqFQoTCOK0-rTQlsYCFQdxFAodcCwAoA&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNFEm-xhSpQGYeNHNem0TQRyc-5YBA&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://www.google.fr/url?source=imglanding&amp;amp;ct=img&amp;amp;q=http://www.scn.org/foodnotbombs/fnblogo.jpg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0CAkQ8wdqFQoTCOK0-rTQlsYCFQdxFAodcCwAoA&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNFEm-xhSpQGYeNHNem0TQRyc-5YBA&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;178&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
En fait, on mange plutôt bien ici! De la bière et du fromage. Il faut dire que je suis tombée sur une bande de &#39;&#39;foodies&#39;&#39;, activistes de type &lt;i&gt;food-not-bombers&lt;/i&gt;. Touski is on my mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dévoués de l&#39;auto-gestion et de la solidarité, elles et ils offrent un service de traiteur, ou plutôt de &lt;i&gt;queer traiteur&lt;/i&gt;, et cuisinent des mets délicieux pour des gens ou des événements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exemple: Pommes de terres rissolées, taboulé, carottes aux oranges confites à la canelle (!!), salade de betteraves et salade de chou-pomme-poireau, le tout servis avec potage de légumes de Mandy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Et comme d&#39;hab, on me demande d&#39;où je suis.&lt;br /&gt;
Je viens de &#39;&#39;the French part of Canada&#39;&#39;. Je parle un peu de Montréal, de Québec, de Gespeg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Samedi dernier j&#39;ai rencontré un gars de Beloeil dans un pic-nic de célébration d&#39;un mariage d&#39;amis (oui, gay), dans un parc de l&#39;Oost de la ville. La fête était colorée à souhait. Le gars jouait dans la batteria de samba (pensée pour le Bloco de Gaspé). Il portait du rouge à lèvres, un voile blanc de fiancée ainqi que, si je me souviens bien, une jolie robe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Une pensée pour Carl et le &lt;a href=&quot;http://chaoticinsurrectionensemble.org/en&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chaotic Insurrection Ensemble&lt;/a&gt; de Montréal.&lt;br /&gt;
Une pensée pour le parc Dolores ...&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amsterdam c&#39;est beau, c&#39;est intense, et je trouve que le monde est généralement relax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je pense à vous.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Pour arrêter de penser à la violence, à l&#39;hypocrisie, à l&#39;injustice, à la guerre, à la torture, à la possibilité du Mal. &lt;br /&gt;
Aux cata-strophes.&lt;br /&gt;
Battante ou moine disciple de l&#39;indicible? indécise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Pour arrêter de penser.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Et pour rêver. Créer du rêve, et du lien, pour&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;interrelier, intelliger, tisser des toiles&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
à l&#39;envers du décor,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Décorer nos corps,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;qui encore et encore&lt;br /&gt;
se fracassent les uns contre les autres,&lt;br /&gt;
qui s&#39;érrafles et s&#39;évanouissent, qui s&#39;éradiquent...&lt;br /&gt;
des tutsis, des hutus, des tibetains, des chinois, des roms, des palestiniens, des Catalans, des Mohawks, des Québécois, des ... &#39;&#39;nations&#39;&#39; partout qui se partagent... la panète, le territoire, et la tracent de frontières.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je rêve d&#39;une révolution qui détruirait les murs et les frontières fictives qui nous séparent.&lt;br /&gt;
Je rêve à des fois à l&#39;évolution de notre espèce, par l&#39;évolution de la conscience. Une sorte de boost, de reset, de re-synthonisation ou de re-synchronisation. Ou du moins tendre vers une meilleure harmonie. C&#39;est pas une utopie l&#39;harmonie, merde!&lt;br /&gt;
Je comprends le rêve collectif d&#39;une Unitié mythique, d&#39;Ur à Monte Albàn en passant par Shambala et Jerusalem. La cité, avant qu&#39;elle ne devienne contaminée par les marchands et les étrangers, par le bazaar des barbares.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Pointée vers l&#39;origines, c&#39;est bien.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Un tout. Du tout au tout se tourner sur l&#39;origine. L&#39;arché. Le moyeu. La roue.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Psychologie Jungienne.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Revenir vers nos mères, revenir à la Terre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Retrouver l&#39;âme des choses,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
anima et animus,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
comme en mythologie.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
Conscience collective.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je veux vous parler de conscience collective, de poésie, et de soirées comme celles-ci&lt;br /&gt;
Diseurs de mots, nouveaux griots&lt;br /&gt;
Amants de la langue, maîtresse du flots.&lt;br /&gt;
À coups de grandes geules, pour dénoncer les failles et les maux, les douleurs, les espoirs,&lt;br /&gt;
à coups de grands mots,&lt;br /&gt;
aux grands moyens,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En descente vers le plus profond noir hivernal, en chûte libre, de 
glace, figés là sur la place, publique, voie publique, vois!&lt;br /&gt;
Vois! 
Public.&lt;br /&gt;
Public... avisé ou assujetis?&lt;br /&gt;
Victimes de la 
psychologie vampirisée par le capitalisme sauvage?&lt;br /&gt;

Il faut apprendre pour appréhender&lt;br /&gt;
Le présent&lt;br /&gt;
Like a gift&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apprendre à apprendre.. à appréhender le présent? Le passé? Le futur.&lt;br /&gt;
Enseigner. Montrer. Démontrer... ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In-spirer. Ex-spirer. Ex-primer. Imprimer.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Changer d&#39;air. Changer d&#39;air et revenir au bercail. J&#39;ai pris la route hier. J&#39;ai quitté la belle Gaspé, emmené promener mon corps et mes esprits. Me suis ramenée en ces contrées familières.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Québec. Vieille ville de mon adolescence. Là où mes amis d&#39;enfance ont aujourd&#39;hui des enfants, où ils s&#39;achètent des maisons, gèrent une hypothèque. Ils ont l&#39;air bien, se dit en moi la voix de la petite bohème qui se ramène par ici depuis les treize dernières années, toujours un peu sceptique et perturbée.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je marche dans le quartier St-Roch accompagnée de moi-même-à-seize-ans. Comme j&#39;aimais le quartier! St-Roch et son ambiance &lt;i&gt;trash&lt;/i&gt;: la vraie vie. Les rues étroites, les quartiers ouvriers. Je me sentais bien parmi les itinérants et les jeunes de la rue, parmi les problèmes de drogues et les troubles de santé mentale. Je me sentais étrangement bien au coeur de la basse-ville, loin de la banlieue. Je me sentais libre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or,&lt;br /&gt;
Comme tout le monde le sait: le quartier St-Roch a drastiquement changé depuis le début des années deux milles. Gentrification oblige, les mal-aimés côtoient les vestons-cravattes, et les nouveaux &lt;i&gt;hipsters&lt;/i&gt; de la rue St-Joseph. Les boutiques, les cafés, les restaurants abondent. Le quartier est très vivant. Le quartier bat son plein. Mais le quartier... a tellement changé.&lt;br /&gt;
Et moi aussi d&#39;ailleurs. En quelque sorte. Car je conserve moi aussi mes dessous et mes facades historiques. Je conserve mes charpentes d&#39;adolescentes sous mes airs du temps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J&#39;ai cherché à quitter le berceau pour trouver le reste du monde, pour chercher de nouvelles 
perspectives et poser de nouvelles questions. J&#39;en reviens quelques années dans le bagage, et rien n&#39;a changé. La cité bat son plein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I don&#39;t remember whether I ended up publishing it or not, but I recently wrote about the Puer Aetarnus in another post. The following article by Dr. Pinkola Estés goes into this concept, as well as a handful of other archetypes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Rest in Peace Mr. Williams. You will forever touch our hearts and souls. I pray that we may keep growing whole, thanks to the journey you so passionately went through, and the emotional gifts you carried and so generously shared with us. Bless.&lt;br /&gt;

 Williams, was not only a consummate actor and tour de force comedian. 
He appeared to also be a lovable Puer Aeternus, an eternal boy; and also
 a Pater Familias, a father not only to his own but to many many young 
persons pursuing comedy careers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;icx-toolbar-align-right&quot;&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;icx-toolbar&quot; id=&quot;icx-toolbar-132&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;icx-toolbar-inner&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;icx-logo&quot;&gt;
&lt;a class=&quot;no_inherit&quot; href=&quot;http://license.icopyright.net/rights/oneButtonTag.act?tag=3.14166?icx_id=197743&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;icx-logo-text&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
He was also a Lover — of life, so so deeply and so sensitively. His 
role in Fisher King* was hardly an act, regarding his character’s so 
easily written upon self, his character’s deep heartbreak for himself 
and for the world of souls on earth whom he felt had lost their tie to 
Spirit in all Things.&lt;br /&gt;

Robin was also a Mystical King, a person who channeled so many 
different strains and veins of characterization– and with energy and 
with ace-accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;

He showed in the signalings from his vessel over the decades, such 
bravery and also, at times, of his vessel being in distress. Anyone with
 the eyes to see… any with the ears to hear… As the song goes, “Vincent 
[van Gogh]… The world was not made for one as beautiful as you.”&lt;br /&gt;

One could see both the tremendous timbre of Williams, as well as what
 I would gently and lovingly call, ‘his efforts to constantly be 
bringing back treasure from the wreck.’&lt;br /&gt;

Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, speculated that within masculine 
psychology are at least four central archetypes… that is, ideas that are
 enormous in instinct and appetite, pushing a person to great positive 
ideals but also, sometimes, into ideas darker. &lt;br /&gt;

The archetypes are sometimes parsed as these…&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Puer&lt;/strong&gt;, meaning eternal boy…positive in the masculine 
sense of energy, imagination, inquiry, exploration, ever highly excited 
about new and interesting possibilities. But also a person thusly 
configured can fall into the negative aspects of such. That is, [in the 
Peter Pan trope] unreliability, refusal to ‘grow up’, trying to charm 
others for not keeping commitments, meet responsibilities. There may be 
 inability to evaluate and in a timely manner tend to critical matters 
of others and regarding self, because one might be off chasing ‘the next
 rainbow. That is, whatever most gives energy to an often underlying 
depression regarding the ‘senselessness of a too tame world.” &lt;br /&gt;

Thus the puer in extremis can be swamped by serious addictions that 
initially calm or give energy, yet leave the person debilitated 
immediately or over time. The secondary injuries [from addiction] to 
bodily functions can also add to the devastation of what was initially 
meant only to have meaning and ‘feel good.’&lt;br /&gt;

The middle way is to, just as one for instance, to choose carefully 
by roots and not just wings whatever one will pursue; to develop a 
‘quiet craft’ of the hands and mind, to work evenly, while choosing 
excitements that build useful things, that bring bursts of life without 
mayhem and melancholy to the person and to those all around.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Pater&lt;/strong&gt;, meaning being invested in being a father to 
love and protect in its positive aspect, but if allowed to tilt too far 
over into trying to create ‘perfect beings’ in children and colleagues– 
or in self– then to dominate and destroy in its negative aspect. &lt;br /&gt;

In the extremes, think of ‘Father Knows Best’, then think of “The 
Great Santini”. In the middle way, think of a father learning as he 
goes, but drawing on time tested good ways from the past, correcting for
 over or under-doing in love, and creating what needs to be done for the
 sake of loving others and self, helping to develop self and others in 
the present and future.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Lover&lt;/strong&gt;…  some have attempted to reduce this archetype
 to sexual sensations only, but it encompasses far more. It means to 
enter an alternative state of consciousness that is very real and 
nourishing of one’s energy, to see the worlds that merge between 
physicality and the psychic. Jung put it this way; that place in the 
psychoid unconscious where physicality and the soul are the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;

 Think of who Lancelot and Arthur cherished. Think of the latters’ 
foibles in taking up some of the common negatives of the Lover 
archetype, re ‘taking for granted’ the great treasure, or in attempting 
to usurp physically the soul of another who’s elemental configuration is
 far more than physical only. As a positive, think of Philemon of Greek 
mythos, who like Merlin was said to have lived backward [with Philemon&#39;s
 it was with his lifelong mate Baucis] from the future, and in so doing,
 whomsoever he loved, [ Baucis who cherished Philemon in return] had the
 larger overview of what could be, and that love flowed through his 
loving Baucis, like a river flowing through a beautiful spillway of his 
lover, to include the mountain, the forest, the mint leaves, the 
harvest, the animals, the day to day crafts, and all else.&lt;br /&gt;

 The Lover balanced is one who often may also have appetite for 
loving the unloved, including oneself. And for returning time and again 
to  just ‘being with’ in that space between all worlds with those one 
loves, with earth and ideas and creatures and all life that one is 
devoted to. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;King who can walk in two worlds, the mystical King: &lt;/strong&gt;
 this appetite/influence/urge to develop a legacy, to create a kingdom 
in which there are like-kind who can thrive, interested 
followers/subjects, creative ways of building a world in most positive 
sense both spiritually and concretely, benevolent, without harms to 
others. Creating within and without, a golden ideal that holds ideas of 
the visible and also the not visible, but palpably felt influences of 
spirit and heart and soul…  and doing what one can to administer these, 
enable these, follow this panorama of a great Self oneself –and to help 
others follow the best and life-granting radiant ideas. &lt;br /&gt;

In its negative sense: mayhem. Torments meted out, disregard for 
those vulnerable and for the tenuous human condition, ‘wrapping oneself 
in all the bullion’, killing off the talented, taking unto one’s inner 
circle the most diseased of minds and greedy minds. Think of the 
fictional Hannibal Lector. The most chilling combination throughout 
ancient and modern mythos: intelligent, psychic and… evil. Think of 
Zeus, the chief God/King of Olympus who could build and manage a 
pantheon, but often abused and harmed both Gods and mortals including 
his own son, Haephaesus. Think of ancient and modern tyrants and 
politicians. But then  in a balanced sense, think of leaders of families
 and towns and states and nations who are evenhanded, who do-over what 
is failing the people, who listen and who within their powers attempt to
 make better for all.&lt;br /&gt;

Robin Williams. Robin seemed in his chosen roles and in his comedy 
routines and in his actual private life… understood at some level, was 
rocked and washed, half drowned and yet surfaced topside, in all these. 
He is what we call “a Sensitive.” Easily written upon, easily drowned, 
easily bobbing back up again time and again. Time and again. &lt;br /&gt;

Until today.&lt;br /&gt;
As the rest of the story comes in about Robin’s death, we’ll know, perhaps, the least important about him, how he died. &lt;br /&gt;

But the most important will be who he really was– complicated, easy 
as butter under a hot knife, intrepid, gifted, so so very gifted in all 
the archetypal energy swirling about his life as fire. He learned for 63
 years of his life how to be ‘the fire handler.’ That is where I would 
praise him, for what he has managed to do for six+ decades; handle fire,
 while being made of parchment.&lt;br /&gt;

May Robin’s loving family be comforted and know that the angels are walking with them in many forms. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Resquiat in pacem&lt;/em&gt; Robin, Rest in Perpetual Peace… and May You Live Forever.&lt;br /&gt;

Fly on dear soul, fly onward. Whatever was once paper, is now winged and strong sinew and bone.&lt;br /&gt;

____________&lt;br /&gt;
*The Fisher King is the wounded king in mythos who is next in line to 
preserve and shelter the Holy Grail– which stands for the idea of 
eternal life, and resurrection from the dire, and resurrection from the 
dead. The wound in various of the mythos can be too much or too little 
of something physical, psychological, bodily or spiritually. &lt;br /&gt;

Nonetheless, the wounded king rises to protect what is most precious, even while injured, perhaps even&lt;em&gt; because&lt;/em&gt;,
 not despite, his injury: He knows what cannot be allowed to vanish from
 this earth– nor from the minds of human beings with souls. He moves to 
show this, protect this, preserve this for all souls.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ev-fooloflove.blogspot.com/feeds/6818130424582846221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ev-fooloflove.blogspot.com/2014/08/robin-williams-and-archetypes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/199678989100797288/posts/default/6818130424582846221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/199678989100797288/posts/default/6818130424582846221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ev-fooloflove.blogspot.com/2014/08/robin-williams-and-archetypes.html' title='Robin Williams and the Archetypes'/><author><name>Ève</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18212590511519458182</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXoFiG4GZ-cP8FKWvgyXhhg4-m_mweWuqLdTcnbv72tv1FFZ4pKlxzkwCWUWA5UJxRqjJvTzvt_rn5lHWAG8HYT2Ywc8ZJ-JaWtHzC9cCP0jjn-4qHm6UR-uRJfqTOzXA/s220/heart2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199678989100797288.post-1441306895767819865</id><published>2014-08-08T17:55:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2014-08-30T10:08:06.521-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Butoh"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CIIS"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="citation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="consciousness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="dancing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="embodiment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="language"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="san francisco"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="saturn"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="space"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stream of consciousness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="time"/><title type='text'>Being and doing (Doo-be-do, bee-do)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

I get back to work in one week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s the end of the summer; and what a summer.&lt;br /&gt;
From one angle: Swaying between being and doing... What to do? What to make? What to buy? And why not just... slow down and stop!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because stopping kinda makes me dizzy. &#39;Cuz as Hiroko Tamano (&lt;a href=&quot;http://subterraneanarthouse.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Subterrean Arthouse&lt;/a&gt;, Berkeley) says: &#39;&#39;When you &lt;i&gt;stop, then &lt;/i&gt;you start moving at a thousand miles per hour.&#39;&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
And Google agrees with teacher Tamano: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&#39;&#39;The &lt;b&gt;earth rotates&lt;/b&gt; once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 
seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 
40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the &lt;b&gt;earth&lt;/b&gt; at the equator moves at a &lt;b&gt;speed&lt;/b&gt; of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.&#39;&#39;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; -Google&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Complete liberty! (which is different than absolute freedom, by the way.) &lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;A whole lot &lt;/i&gt;of&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;free time! (At least as long as I have money in the bank.)&lt;br /&gt;
As I anticipated, I&#39;ve felt it somewhat compulsory to &#39;&#39;furnish&#39;&#39; the time-space I live in. I really wanted to do nothing. But I guess the mind did not quite surrender so easily. I guess I can&#39;t handle an empty room; there&#39;s always writing on the walls. That&#39;s what happens when you get a taste of mindfulness: the mind &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; so full!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I seek balance between doing and being. I take care of small actions that need to be done, like taking out the compost bin or trimming and watering the tomato plants. I dance a lot and I juggle; I so need to move the energy through my body. I haven&#39;t learned to contain the impressions the world make on me; I need to find appropriate ways to ex-press them. And when I stop moving my body, it&#39;s my thoughts that keep running. Observing the chatter in your mind will make you dizzy. Finding that you&#39;re quite powerless when you want to make it stop, that&#39;s a lesson in humility. Recognizing that trying to control or fight the stream actually gives the chattering mind even more power, that could lead to revolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stopping to face a pregnant void. A distorted time-space of some sort. A plane of immanence. Matrix of potentialities, in which all things get revealed. And many demand to be made into manifestation; to be manifested.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The following is excerpted from&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5710-pathways-to-wholeness.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pathways to Wholness: Archetypal Astrology and the Transpersonal Journey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;published by Muswell Hill Press.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Breakthrough in Europe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the mid-1960s, Stanislav Grof, a young Czechoslovakian 
psychiatrist working at the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague, 
made some extraordinary discoveries concerning the fundamental 
structures of the human psyche. Conducting sessions with a wide range of
 individuals in a program of systematic LSD psychotherapy, Grof and his 
clients encountered experiences that gradually and then irrevocably 
challenged the orthodox Freudian model in which he and his colleagues 
were working.&lt;br /&gt;
The experiences that emerged during these sessions suggested a far 
deeper understanding of the human psyche and the cosmos itself than had 
been previously imagined in any existing psychological theory. After 
supervising over 3000 sessions and studying the records of another 2000 
from colleagues around the world, Grof eventually introduced a 
far-reaching new model that accounted for the observations of his 
clients’ sessions, integrated a number of other psychological theories, 
and reached into areas of human spirituality described by the great 
mystical traditions of the world.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Grof’s research, although representing a dramatic breakthrough in 
Western psychiatry and psychology, is supported by many precedents in 
non-Western and preindustrial societies. Since the dawn of history, 
guided &lt;i&gt;non-ordinary states of consciousness &lt;/i&gt;have played a 
central role in the spiritual and ritual life of humanity. Stretching 
back more than 30,000 years, the shamans of ancient cultures began their
 healing professions through a spontaneous or induced experience of 
death and rebirth. In a firsthand way, they explored territories of the 
psyche that transcend the boundaries of normal individual awareness. 
Similarly, in the rites of passage, initiates were guided into 
non-ordinary—or what Grof has termed &lt;i&gt;holotropic &lt;/i&gt;(from &lt;i&gt;holos, &lt;/i&gt;meaning “wholeness”; and &lt;i&gt;trepein, &lt;/i&gt;meaning
 “moving toward”)— states of consciousness and had a personal experience
 of higher realms that transcend the physical world.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
In the ancient mystery religions of the Mediterranean, neophytes 
participated in various mind-expanding processes in order to move beyond
 the limits of individual awareness and experience directly the sacred 
or &lt;i&gt;numinous &lt;/i&gt;dimensions of existence. The celebrated Mother 
Goddess mysteries of Eleusis, for example, which were held near Athens 
for almost two thousand years, we are now virtually certain used &lt;i&gt;ergot, &lt;/i&gt;a
 naturally occurring form of LSD.1 Many of the creative and intellectual
 giants of Western culture, including figures such as Pythagoras, Plato,
 Aristotle, Epictetus, Euripedes, Sophocles, Plutarch, Pindar, Marcus 
Aurelius, and Cicero, all attest to the life-changing power of their 
experiences at Eleusis or one of the other mystery sites. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
As well as the ritual use of psychedelic substances, many cultures 
have used methods such as trance dancing, rhythmic drumming, sensory 
overload and sensory deprivation, sleep deprivation, breathing 
maneuvers, fasting, meditation, and other techniques to enter holotropic
 states. Preindustrial cultures around the world understood an important
 fact of human nature that we in the modern West have forgotten—that 
exploring the psyche can mediate a profound reconnection with the cosmic
 creative principle, helping people to heal a range of emotional and 
physical problems, transcend their fear of death, and reach a more 
integrated level of functioning in everyday life. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Modern consciousness research, such as that conducted by Grof, has 
found that individuals who undergo these transformative processes 
automatically develop an interest in spirituality of a universal, 
non-sectarian, and all-encompassing nature. They also discover within 
themselves a sense of planetary citizenship, a high importance given to 
warm human relationships, and the desire to live a more simple and 
satisfying life in harmony with nature and ecological values.&lt;br /&gt;
The considerable time and resources that other cultures devoted to 
finding effective techniques for exploring the inner terrains of the 
psyche is in marked contrast to the values in our modern industrial 
society. The dominant world view in Western civilization is concerned 
primarily with the external and physical layers of reality. In many ways
 it denies the existence of the human psyche altogether, and especially 
of higher spiritual or transpersonal states.&lt;br /&gt;
Grof’s research thus provides an unexpected gateway to a deeper 
knowledge of the long-neglected inner world. As we will see, the 
systematic exploration of the unconscious in holotropic states can 
initiate a profound transformation of awareness—a transformation that 
many now believe is urgently needed if we are to face and successfully 
overcome the great problems of our time. However, the journey into the 
heart of the psyche can be an immensely challenging process, exposing 
individuals to the depths and heights of human emotional experience. A 
map of the inner terrain, a way of understanding and predicting what 
might take place during holotropic-exploration sessions, would therefore
 be of invaluable benefit.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;img class=&quot;alignleft feature_image&quot; src=&quot;http://realitysandwich.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/5544337049_3afe46cb79_z.jpg&quot; height=&quot;393&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;An Unexpected Rosetta Stone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For years, Grof and his colleagues had looked unsuccessfully for some kind of diagnostic system—such as the &lt;i&gt;Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory &lt;/i&gt;test (MMPI), Shostrom’s &lt;i&gt;Personal Orientation Inventory &lt;/i&gt;(POI), the &lt;i&gt;Rorschach Inkblot Test, &lt;/i&gt;and
 others—to predict the experiences of their clients in deep 
self-exploration. Decades later, when the cultural historian Richard 
Tarnas discovered and systematically applied what Grof would later call 
the “Rosetta Stone” of archetypal astrology to this problem, Grof had to
 ironically concede that the one successful predictive technique turned 
out to be a system that was even more controversial and beyond the range
 of conventional science than his research in psychedelic therapy. 
Despite their deep initial skepticism toward astrology, however, the 
correlations that he and Tarnas observed were striking and consistent 
over time. Whether the catalyst was Holotropic Breathwork, a 
psychoactive substance, or a spontaneous eruption of unconscious 
contents during a psychospiritual crisis, archetypal astrology provides,
 in Grof’s words, “the only system that can successfully predict both 
the content and timing of experiences encountered in non-ordinary states
 of consciousness in experiential psychotherapy.”2&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Given the widespread misunderstanding of and skepticism toward 
astrology in the modern era, a brief preface is required before we 
proceed. Although many of the founders of modern science—notably 
Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei—retained a deep belief in the 
principles as well as the practice of astrology, and of a higher cosmic 
intelligence or God, subsequent generations would later discard this 
understanding as the relic of an older time. Although the astrological 
vision became deeply discredited in the modern scientific West, the 
world view underlying it maintained credibility and continued to 
flourish in the philosophical movements of late Neoplatonism, Idealism, 
and Romanticism, in a direct lineage from Socrates and Plato.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
This situation began to change in the mid-twentieth century, however,
 with the work of the pioneering psychiatrist C. G. Jung. Jung’s 
discovery of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, his 
formulation of synchronicity (“an acausal connecting principle”), and 
his speculations concerning the &lt;i&gt;anima mundi &lt;/i&gt;(world soul) 
provided a conceptual framework for the mature rebirth of a more 
psychologically oriented and nuanced form of astrology. Brought to 
fruition through the writing of figures such as Dane Rudhyar, Robert 
Hand, and Liz Greene, this new approach drew on the insights of Jungian 
depth psychology while leaving behind many of the fatalistic dogmas of 
the old astrological tradition. Hand’s work also set the stage for a 
much more rigorously self-critical and self-questioning discipline.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Then Grof’s friendship and collaboration with Tarnas was to initiate 
another major leap in the field. A highly respected philosopher and 
psychologist, as well as historian, Tarnas gained international acclaim 
with his best-selling &lt;i&gt;The Passion of the Western Mind &lt;/i&gt;(1991), 
which went on to become required reading in a number of university 
courses around the world. He followed this in 2006 with &lt;i&gt;Cosmos and Psyche, &lt;/i&gt;in which he presented over five-hundred pages of systematic and compelling evidence to support his groundbreaking theory. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Tarnas begins by introducing the concept of archetypes that has 
played such an important role in the Western philosophical tradition. 
For now, we can describe the archetypes simply as primordial patterns of
 experience, which influence all people and cultures in the form of 
basic habit patterns, instincts and emotions. In &lt;i&gt;Cosmos and Psyche’s &lt;/i&gt;bold
 hypothesis, Tarnas suggests that the dynamic interplay of these 
timeless universals that have shaped our history occurs in coincidence 
with geometric alignments between the planets and the Earth, 
intelligible through an emerging epistemology and method of analysis 
which he calls &lt;i&gt;archetypal astrology.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
In contrast with traditional astrological belief and practice, the 
archetypal approach that Tarnas introduces is non-fatalistic and 
non-deterministic. The archetypes are recognized at all times as being 
complexly multivalent and multidimensional—taking different forms in 
different situations and at different times in people’s lives. Each 
archetypal complex can manifest in a wide range of possible expressions,
 while still being true to its basic thematic character. Tarnas 
carefully demonstrates that the methodology he presents is &lt;i&gt;archetypally &lt;/i&gt;predictive rather than &lt;i&gt;concretely &lt;/i&gt;predictive.
 Although planetary alignments can illuminate many essential 
characteristics of an historical epoch or individual life experience, 
and even suggest basic expected characteristics of an upcoming period, 
he emphasizes that the specific concrete expression the archetypes will 
take at any time remains indeterminate—contingent on additional factors 
such as cultural context, free will, co-creative participation, and 
perhaps unmeasurables such as karma, grace, and chance. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
It should be acknowledged that many of the fundamental tenets of the 
emerging archetypal world view concerning the nature of the human psyche
 and of the universe itself are compatible with the most recent branches
 of modern science, including quantum-relativistic physics, Pribram’s 
holographic model of the brain, Sheldrake’s study of morphogenetic 
fields and morphic resonance in biology, Prigogine’s study of 
dissipative structures, systems theory, chaos theory, cybernetics and 
information theory, the anthropic principle in astrophysics, and 
others. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Grof also mentions the pioneering attempts of Ken Wilber and the 
successful accomplishment of Ervin Laszlo in integrating transpersonal 
psychology into a new comprehensive paradigm.6 I would further note 
Keiron Le Grice’s work in &lt;i&gt;The Archetypal Cosmos, &lt;/i&gt;which draws on
 the implications of Tarnas’ research and integrates many of the new 
scientific theories in direct support of an archetypal or holotropic 
world view.7 Perhaps the most concise way to describe this emerging 
paradigm in science is the realization that consciousness, rather than 
being an accidental by-product of neurophysiological and biochemical 
processes in the brain, is an integral component of the universe 
itself. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
The most well-known area of Tarnas’ study to most readers has been 
his exploration of cyclically unfolding archetypal dynamics in human 
history and culture, deeply informed by the principles of Jungian and 
transpersonal depth psychology. A less widely known aspect of his 
inquiry, and the area on which this book concentrates, is based on his 
research with Grof into holotropic states of consciousness. In 1990, I 
proposed the term &lt;i&gt;holotropic astrology &lt;/i&gt;to describe this facet of Tarnas’ research that is specifically concerned with holotropic states. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Tarnas refers to astrology as a kind of “archetypal telescope” 
directed on the psyche, a way of understanding and contextualizing the 
material that emerges in deep self-exploration. Grof similarly concludes
 that the role of holotropic and psychedelic states of consciousness in 
psychology is comparable to that of the microscope in biology and the 
telescope in astronomy. When responsibly combined, the therapeutic 
effectiveness of these powerful magnifying processes of the psyche 
cannot be overstated. During my own three decades of research with 
workshops, consultations and personal experience, I have come to believe
 that archetypal astrology and holotropic exploration have the potential
 to revolutionize humanity’s relationship with its deeper nature and 
help us to rediscover a more harmonious relationship with each other, 
the natural world, and the larger cosmos.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHd6fbyZh4NzntB5bqq_dbUHOOltxgy9ydKQ5VZOhSLknBG4hjF5a6INdQAxU6DGvjP_90vuNj5uAopkMN9kb7M4OQY-JUqzo8B_dX8HjVQsQ2EBSnwPnBraMKOY_hLsE_OGfmigmTR5A/s1600/301517_2618515587066_1380445550_33133459_1250851957_n.jpg&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHd6fbyZh4NzntB5bqq_dbUHOOltxgy9ydKQ5VZOhSLknBG4hjF5a6INdQAxU6DGvjP_90vuNj5uAopkMN9kb7M4OQY-JUqzo8B_dX8HjVQsQ2EBSnwPnBraMKOY_hLsE_OGfmigmTR5A/s1600/301517_2618515587066_1380445550_33133459_1250851957_n.jpg&quot; height=&quot;215&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;J&#39;ai passé plusieurs nuits à dormir dehors au cours des deux dernières semaines. J&#39;ai installé un matelas sur la galerie et lorsque la nuit est assez fraîche, je sors tout simplement mon édredon et mon oreiller. Je m&#39;endors au son du vent et me réveille aux chants des oiseaux.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Les oiseaux se réveillent par vagues; les premiers - les cormorans? - entâment leurs conversations dès quatre heure et demie(!), ensuite ce sont les huards et les bruants qui prennent la relève. Ils discutent, je ne sais trop de quoi. Ils organisent l&#39;horaire de leur matinée. Les &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oiseaux.net/oiseaux/corneille.noire.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;corneilles &lt;/a&gt;enfin se réveillent elles aussi.&lt;br /&gt;
S&#39;il est absolument vrai que le chant des corneilles peut être très désagréable, cela n&#39;aura pas suffit à rendre ces oiseaux détestables à mes yeux. En fait, je me suis, comment dire, plutôt &lt;i&gt;rapprochée&lt;/i&gt; des corneilles depuis mon arrivée en Gaspésie.&amp;nbsp; Je les considère comme des &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totem&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;totems&lt;/a&gt;. Des spirit animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On les nomme charognardes et même nuisibles, mais elles s&#39;occupent de ce qui doit être accomplit pour que le cycle continue. Elles sont omnivores comme nous. Elles s&#39;adaptent et sont fidèles, intelligentes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Et ce noir sans fin..&lt;br /&gt;

Le soleil se dresse lentement sur l&#39;horizon... &lt;br /&gt;
Quelle heure peut-il bien être? Il est huit heure, presque immanquablement. Je fais quelques étiremments et j&#39;entre dans la maison pour prendre un verre d&#39;eau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ces deux mois de vacances m&#39;auront appris qu&#39;il est angoissant de se lever le matin sans avoir de projet pour le jour. Et surtout, sans avoir personne à qui devoir quoi que ce soit... outre soi-même bien sûr.&lt;br /&gt;

Je peux faire ce que je veux! J&#39;ai tellement de &#39;projets&#39; en tête! &#39;&#39; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Et souvent la seconde voix: &#39;&#39;Et si tu n&#39;arrivais pas à accomplir quoi que ce soit aujourd&#39;hui? Quel gaspille!&#39;&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
Peur d&#39;avoir peur.&amp;nbsp; À chacun de ces matins incertains je flirt un peu avec cet étrange sentiment. C&#39;est fascinant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alors quoi?&lt;br /&gt;
Une routine s&#39;est tout de même installée: salle de bain, déjeuner, facebook et courriels, bouffée d&#39;air, salutations au soleil pseudo-yoga style, tournée des plantes. Je mange toujours un peu avant de me faire un café. Les habitudes me dérangent et me sécurisent à la fois. Sont-ce des habitudes, ou des compulsions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#39;&#39;Encore une autre journée. Encore la même rengaine.&#39;&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
L&#39;ennui sait si aisément s&#39;émiscer, pernicieusement, lorsque je m&#39;énorgeuille de savoir surfer la vague du &#39;&#39;moment présent&#39;&#39;. Car le moment présent, c&#39;est pas une figure de style. C&#39;est un choix profond, la conscience des actions posées à chaque instant, dans une perspective de totale liberté...&lt;br /&gt;
Oh! Ces existentialistes!&lt;br /&gt;

De la bonne compagnie, beaucoup de clowning et de jonglerie, beaucoup de danse, et de musique, de slackline. Mon invitée aime chanter &lt;i&gt;and so do I&lt;/i&gt;, alors on s&#39;en est données à coeur-joie! C&#39;était remplit de musique!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
Clowning at Haldimand &lt;/h4&gt;
J&#39;ai obtenu un &#39;&#39;gig&#39;&#39; à la plage Haldimand, dans le cadre de l&#39;annuel concours de châteaux de sable! Au départ nous étions supposé y aller à deux, C. et moi, mais il n&#39;a finalement pas pu se libérer du boulot alors ... mon premier gig &#39;&#39;seule&#39;&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mon rôle, ma job, c&#39;était de déambuler en jonglant. J&#39;avais mes balles à jongler et mes quilles... et &lt;i&gt;aucun contrôle&lt;/i&gt; sur la musique de l&#39;événement (part idéale d&#39;inconnu, le régal du clown). Impressioner l&#39;audience? Ce n&#39;est pas l&#39;approche que j&#39;avais choisie.&amp;nbsp; Je préfère mettre l&#39;accent sur l&#39;interaction et le jeux; c&#39;est là qu&#39;est tout le défi! Tension entre ce besoin primaire de plaire, et l&#39;ambition de souligner un peu de vérité. Si j&#39;échappe la balle, c&#39;est un fait. Tous le voient et tous ressentent l&#39;instant du &#39;&#39;comment devrais-je me sentir?&#39;&#39;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Je voulais essayer d&#39;être tout simplement... full of 
Love et de danser et de jouer comme j&#39;aime tant le faire lorsque je suis seule et que je m&#39;imagine dans le feu de l&#39;action.&amp;nbsp; 
Mais est-ce que la musique allait m&#39;inspirer? Ou plutôt, &lt;i&gt;qu&#39;est-ce que&lt;/i&gt; la musique allait m&#39;inspirer?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je me suis lancée, pantalons mauves à l&#39;appui, et j&#39;ai fait ce que j&#39;aime faire... La musique: booyah!! (Amen!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Je me promène le long des sites de construction. J&#39;invite les équipes à célébrer leur oeuvre en devenir, je les incite à danser. Je jongle et je danse sur le rythme; je m&#39;fais plaisir!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Un homme est étendu sur la plage, pénard. Il s&#39;essuie le ventre alors que je passe près de lui. &#39;&#39;C&#39;est une cause perdue m&#39;sieur, c&#39;est certain que vous allez avoir du sable dans le nombril!&#39;&#39; Les enfants s&#39;émerveillent, ils veulent jongler eux aussi.

Je suis à Gaspé depuis environ sept mois, enseignante au cégep et &lt;i&gt;clown&lt;/i&gt; à temps partiel. J&#39;enseigne les sciences politiques au secteur anglophone, je leur parle de libéralisme, de marxisme, de nationalisme. &lt;br /&gt;
Dans mes temps libres, je chante dans les bars. Je danse une danse un peu macabre, de l&#39;eau jusqu&#39;aux genoux, le vent sur ma peau. Je marche lentement. Je marche sur un fil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Le challenge, c&#39;est de continuer de dire oui.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oui aux journées vides et difficiles. Oui aux imperfections, aux paradoxes, et à l&#39;humilité. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oui aux erreurs, aux échecs, aux cul-de-sacs et aux rebondissements. Oui au chaos et à l&#39;inévitable aléatoire.&lt;br /&gt;

Finalement, troizévénements&lt;/h4&gt;
1. Assise dehors, j&#39;entends le son des vagues - de petites vagues - et celui du vent dans les feuilles de bouleau. J&#39;entends les oiseaux gazouiller, et de temps en temps, j&#39;entends.. une flûte! J&#39;ai un voisin qui joue de la flûte!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Plus tôt: Un colibri s&#39;est approché de la galerie pour explorer un peu - les mobiles et sculptures en bois, un bouquet de fleurs sèchées, avant de poursuivre son chemin. Juste là, maintenant, colibri est revenu nous voir mais cette fois-ci il s&#39;est stationné à environ un mettre de ma &#39;&#39;station de travail&#39;&#39;. Tout petit, minuscule, il a joué de son bec avec un bout de corde à linge pendouillant, puis avec une épingle à linge. (Je ne crois pas qu&#39;il ait remarqué le chapelet!) Wow.&lt;br /&gt;

I read something about love being like the sun (yes, I do feel it this way) and how &#39;&#39;the sun&#39;s warmth makes clouds by prompting the earth to release its moisture&#39;&#39; in the same way that love makes our wounding and our fears arise... which often veil the presence love.&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, I know that.&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&#39;&#39;Our ability to feel a wholehearted yes toward another person fluctuates with the changing circumstances of each moment.&#39;&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel it and ponder it every day. I love to muse over relationships as mirrors. I do love love. But I also want to be &#39;&#39;careful&#39;&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not exactly cynical. I see the phenomenon called &#39;&#39;falling in love&#39;&#39; as a mechanism, basically. Not a machine, more like a process. There&#39;s attraction, projection and chemistry. There&#39;s timing. There are needs, some of them conscious and others not. There will generally be some pushing and pulling.&lt;br /&gt;
But if the two fall at the same time, we&#39;ll have what I like to think of as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crucible&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the crucible&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrazuNdTas94CYSxodr7_IZ708kmrAJfZkKlWLzSJkpdzVcMzJR2TecZIphCzW6ivlInFb7d2bIFcHv2xD6onXskY2p9gd5LxMVXMwOvP6yt_UUvemGS4ANXFqYLt4kM3tI8LkMJrXolq/s1600/Orion+Nebula.jpg&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrazuNdTas94CYSxodr7_IZ708kmrAJfZkKlWLzSJkpdzVcMzJR2TecZIphCzW6ivlInFb7d2bIFcHv2xD6onXskY2p9gd5LxMVXMwOvP6yt_UUvemGS4ANXFqYLt4kM3tI8LkMJrXolq/s1600/Orion+Nebula.jpg&quot; height=&quot;248&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Though the crucible doesn&#39;t actually necessitate commitment between two lovers ( though someone could very well notice their attractions, and observe their projections in order to bring more consciousness onto their individual patterns and yearnings.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It&#39;s deeply... transformational, when two individuals can and do commit to the relationship. This will happen through the wounds and fears, and other &#39;&#39;trigger points&#39;&#39;. This pushing of each other&#39;s buttons may lead to fighting, or to freezing/numbing, or to... fucking (the 3 Fs).&lt;br /&gt;
To the extent that a partnership is consciously worked with,&amp;nbsp; what we loosely call love can be an excellent opportunity to grow as a human being. I think this is marvelous!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you see, I&#39;m not cynical. It&#39;s just that I&#39;ve read on the matter quite a lot, and, well... I&#39;ve gone through the crucible too. I now &lt;i&gt;feel&lt;/i&gt; more rational about relationships and about the process of love.  I&#39;d like for everyone to have it clear once and for all: attraction, infatuation and love aren&#39;t the same thing at all. When I speak of love in the context of a romance or partnership, I&#39;m talking about the type of love you have to &lt;i&gt;learn, together.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also know Love as that light that shine above and through it all. Some sort of &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thefreedictionary.com/agape&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Agape&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;In fact, I&#39;m very much caught up in the two forms and I realize I sometimes have a bit of a hard time distinguishing between the two. I love certain people with all my soul. I feel connected to their soul and I love them profoundly and unconditionally. Sometimes, however, I guess my personal story creeps in a bit.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This story has to do with going to war for love. Whether it is &lt;i&gt;agape&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;eros&lt;/i&gt;, I find myself being called to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sacrifice&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sacrifice&lt;/a&gt; in the name of love. Wouldn&#39;t it make sense, in the understanding of the aforementioned mechanism, to want to give up certain things (i.e. own projections, let down some walls) that we might be attached to?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess we just gotta make sure we give up the right things... for the right relationships.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All that being said, I would say that I&#39;m willing (and able) to &lt;i&gt;grow in love&lt;/i&gt;. I would still need to experience that initial spark of attraction, and for it to be reciprocal. That&#39;s the tricky part, the one no amount of rational thinking can provide. I need some magic &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, anyway, thank you science for helping elucidate this crazy little thing called love. I wish we could collectively decide to focalize this abstract concept we call love, to better define love&#39;s multiple facets (Here&#39;s an interesting article titled &lt;a href=&quot;http://sojo.net/blogs/2013/12/05/have-you-tried-six-varieties-love&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;The Ancient Greeks&#39; 6 words for Love&#39;&lt;/a&gt;&#39;) and give ourselves a chance for some radical changes. I don&#39;t know if it can be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the meantime I&#39;ll keep trying to figure out that whole thing about how &#39;&#39;to feel a wholehearted yes toward another person&#39;&#39;. Can I keep my heart open, and whole, in front of those who do not seek the same relationship? Should I? I tend to think I should, but then again it can be such a painful experience sometimes. Can I keep my heart open with those people I feel an attraction for, &lt;i&gt;as well as&lt;/i&gt; with those who I do not particularly wish to engage deeply with? (What&#39;s the difference? There is one of course, but underneath it all...)&lt;br /&gt;
