You are no longer welcome.

I know you. You have been around for so long, in my every day life for years now.
And I hated you, so much, you ugly torturer, so mean to me. Holding me back in fear and misery. Hurting me to the point life seemed to be worthless. I just wanted to leave, to give up.
And I loved you, so much, you little broken thing, so much in pain. Your head so often ready to explode , your body shaking, every heart beat punching your chest like a hammer, rivers rolling out of your eyes. I just wanted to protect you, to fill your emptiness with love.
Living without you seemed impossible. How life could function without you, I know you so well.
Yes I know you. I know you because you are a part of me. You are my dear monster, hiding in a corner of my heart.
Today you came to me. I was lying there, enjoying my self silently and you hit me with surprise. But today was different. You came to say goodbye. « It’s time » you said. Breathless, I felt like  something was pulled out of me, black smoke coming out of my skin.
Packing up, ready to leave with all your boxes of pain and grief I started to feel relieved. Relieved and sad at the same time. Goodbyes are not easy.
I love you, I always did. But today, you are no longer welcome.
The sun rises, a new age is coming, lighter, simpler. I can guarantee that the corner you left empty will be filled every day with love, joy and peace.

A question of luck

Posted on by

I didn’t have an easy life but always thought I had not much to complain, that I was lucky for so many different reasons. At some point past was past and life seemed to give me a rest, a peaceful and blissful time. Maybe I was rewarded to be always positive and to always try to be a better person whatever happened. I started to have faith. You have the power to change yourself and your world! You are protected and guided! « To succeed we must first think than we can. Deep and profound changes and blessings await you as you freely give your energy to help others »! I believed in all that but now I wonder.. how do you do when you have no energy left ? When you realized that storms are coming again and again and will always do? And that being honest, respectful, kind, generous is not helping anything or anyone, not even yourself ? How long can you keep hope that life will give you back?
It’s quite funny how you can be taught than the worst is never necessarily behind you! You can let go of past, anger, regrets or worries as much as you want, it might give you some peace of mind but won’t change anything of tomorrow’s shit. Digging endlessly through stones and roots and having someone telling you « if you have blisters all over your hands, pee on it and keep going ». That’s pretty much how I picture life at the moment.
We are so tiny in the universe and we, human race are just a second in the universe’s life. So put your ego down, you have no way to make a difference.
In relation to that one thing keep giving me energy and lust for life, no one can have total power on us. You are born free. So please, give you all the chances to realized your dreams because life is not going to serve you these on a plate and if it does, believe me, it’s just a question of luck.

God bless you

In Nepal one of the first question people would ask you is « What is your religion? ». Sometimes with travellers or western people you have to answer to the question « Do you believe in God? ». When you answer to the first question by « I have no religion », you feel embarrassed or guilty because you are in a place where everyone belong to Hinduism, Buddhism or Christianism. For me the funny thing is when I feel the same when my heart want to answer « Yes, I believe in God » to someone coming from a place where you have been taught in science lessons that there is a logical reason to explain everything from our world.
Let’s make the things clear. During this journey witch is mine I finally understood what spirituality is about. For me spirituality is the fusion of philosophy and religion.
Philosophy is when you look for answers, when you try to find a meaning to your life. On the other hand, religion is when you give up on having a meaning. Rituals are out of meaning, you do it because it has to be done. God is the only reason for everything, It is the only one to have the answers but God doesn’t give answers, God gives only love. On your way to learn to love yourself, you learn to love God. Loving yourself is loving God because God is everywhere and God is with you, in you. It brings light into your heart. When you finally stop to fight against yourself, when you finally let go, everything seems clearer and easier. There is no joy or sadness, no rich or poor, no Christian or Hindu. There is only light, light and love.
God bless you.

Rangi-Changi Janatā

Words are great, they are infinite. You can learn new ones every day, you can learn new languages and talk to people. You can play with them and make people laugh with. You can put them together and sometimes it become beautiful or philosophical sentences. Some of them will stay in your mind forever, will give a rhythm to your daily life. Some are difficult to remember or to pronounce ; some are soft, cute, funny, some other can be hard, sad, hurtful. With words you can be connected to people, luckily even the ones from the other part of the world. And most important, with words, in every languages, you can say « I love you ».
I love writing, I can express my feelings and ideas, sometimes boiling in my head. You can read them or ignore them, it doesn’t matter, this words just needed to go out of my mind, to taste to freedom, to travel and settle down for a while on this paper.

Today, my words tell a story, the story of the day where I choose the word « action ». I decided to change « I will be » , « I want to do » for « I’m » and « I’m doing ». It’s not easy to know what we want to do – and it’s probably why some times we are stuck in an endless talk – but I had a tiny idea : I wanted to help. « Help » is a good word and can be good act in many ways. It can be when I’m listening to you when you are sad or grumpy my friend ; it can be when I’m changing my own behaviors to respect myself or the others or it can simply be when I’m smiling to you, stranger in the street. The only law with « help » is that you have to give without expectation to have it back and it’s not that difficult! Helping is not -like we can say in french- « a drop in the ocean » because once you are starting to walk on this path, you are part of this path, you are completing this path. It’s not a drop in the ocean, it is the ocean. The simplest act of help fill your heart of knowledge. I know. I know that helping is not useless, even if it’s just a smile or just a word.

I so started my journey, my traveling-helping project. Life brought me here, in Nepal ; here in Letang where I’m giving some of my time for this organization who bring art and creativity to the children in the schools. Here I learnt many new words and one of the first ones have been « rangi-changi » : « colorful » because we believe that « Where there is color, there is hope », and because it express more than only « colors », it express « happiness », « fun » and « smile » too. We repeat this words every day at school and it was the perfect ones to describe the people that I love, the people that I meet, the people who give to this world and it’s the reason why it’s my personal project’s name.
Later on, I read again my last article. I wrote it to say « I love you »-(words as much important to perform that to say) – to my friends, to the people, to the world. Life is surprising and reading again this article, I found those words : « with all our colors we will do a beautiful painting » then I knew at this exact time that « Rangi-Changi » was meant to be. I was meant to be here, with WatersFromHeaven, in Letang to start this new journey.

Yesterday at school the kids were happy, playing, painting, drawing, laughing and shouting all together… « Rangi-Changi ». « Rangi-changi » are my words, are who I’m. And you? Who are you?

One year

Posted on by

I love people. It hasn’t be like this all the time. When I was a kid, I used to hate people. People was the reason of my suffering and I was only able to see all the bad things they were doing in this world. I didn’t want to be part of it. I often wished to transform into a flower and shining over the sun or into a free lion running like mad in the vast wilderness. I felt old at that time, sometimes I even wanted to disappear, too tired of what I could see around me. But something, something always whispered me to be brave, to fight. I didn’t know why or what but I knew that one day it would change. Life was in my veins and was desperately shouting to be considered.
Letting express the true self can be something really difficult as it ask lots of patience and acceptance. It means as well being ready to break chains, to jump out of our comfort zone and give up on lots of things that your friends, your family, society and yourself are expecting from you.
One year ago, when I started to travel, I decided to look for this true myself, to let it exist. I didn’t know that what I will find on my way was even more beautiful. Because on this personal path, I found you. I found you : people! You are beautiful, you have so much to say, to express. You have so much in you, you reach the infinity of possibilities! And everybody is different, so particular and unique! And yes we are capable of such horrors because we want to be the one who is right ; passionate, we want to convince the others that the world has to be like this and not different.. But if we stop just two seconds to gaze at each other – try it : just look in the eyes your friend or your neighbor in the bus – the only reaction you will have is simply to smile. And it’s why we are all the same as well, because when you smile, you are beautiful, and when you smile back to me I love you. I want to know you and share with you, I believe we are meant to be connected, all together with all our differences, all our colors we will do a beautiful painting.
Finally after one year traveling I know where is my place in this world, I know where I’m going. I’m coming to see you beautiful people, running like a free lion and shining like a flower. I m already with you and I will be here for you for the rest of my life.

2013 – Happy New Year! – 3 months in Australia. Time for a first conclusion.

Posted on by

Already 3 months! Time passed quick but I was really busy almost all the time and I really enjoyed it. Even some local people told me I saw more in 3 months than they did in all their life! I learned so many more things than in 5 years at the university and about everything : knowing new things about vegetarianism and healthy food (and always yummi!), learning new abilities in building, painting, gardening, fishing or shooting with a raffle ; or learning more about ecology, economy and the others interactions around the  world.

In other words if I like to say that traveling is the best university it’s because you can add to the new knowledge, the fact to meet and share with people. Meet somebody means exchange some smiles, share stories of life, some good, some less good. That’s the share about different languages, a new culture and meaning of universe. If you stop living with all the cliches and bias about people you have in your mind, if you remind you that life is full of exceptions and surprises, each meeting, each discussion will be a real pleasure, a real adventure.

To sum up my bags are still heavy on this little way, discovering Australia, discovering life but my heart is light, slightly full of hope, love and good memories.

Anyway, happy new year everybody, my best wishes for 2013! I don’t know what your conclusions, your plans or your resolutions are about, and I’d be really happy to get to know! For me I just want to continue what I have started: enjoy simple life, be happy without have a specific reason, take care of myself, take care of the others and continue to be aware and listening. Never wearing masks, being the true myself. Continue to see my fears as challenges – not as snags. I am still looking for more adventures, anywhere, anytime.

Many kisses to my lovely frenchy and all my new accointements or friends from Singapore, India, Spain, Germany, Britain and Australia (of course!)

Une pause à Denmark

Posted on by

Après plus de deux mois de voyage et d’aventures, une petite pause s’impose et c’est donc avec plaisir que j’entame une petite vie routinière pas si routinière que ça dans la petite ville de Denmark. Entre ‘casual work’, bavardages incessants à l’auberge et lezarderie sur la plage, la vie est plutôt belle. C’est aussi l’occasion d’emprunter un pc et de travailler et publier enfin mes photos!

Et en attendant plus de photos, je vous laisse jouer les critiques sur mon premier essai en HDR!
