life, an inspiration...
Admiral Blue
this morning
the sea distinguishes itself from the sky
in an Admiral blue
a woman passes by on her bicycle
she carries her baguette
while pedaling
against the wind.

speak out loud
In the far distance, the horizon
melts with the sea
Here the head is at the height
to the sky.
Alone
the wild geese in flight
dare to
speak out loud.

thank you
I thank my fellow humans
for offering me these scenes
in the world theatre.
nothing is precise
Oh, how liberating it is
to live in the approximation.
dancing between 27.4 and 29.5 days
I bow to impermanence
I let myself be cradled by the waves of life
I follow nature
that structures me
and I dance in the rhythms
of the moon.
This mystery cannot be stolen from me.

Being Me
© Eve, 13 years (Irene's honorary grand-daughter)
I am tall
I am short
I have blonde hair
I have brown hair
But I am unique
Some say I’m brave
Some say I’m scared
Some say I’m chatty
Some say I’m quiet
But I am unique just like you
I like to wear blue things
I like to wear black things
I like fruit and veg
I like chocolate
But I am unique just like everybody else
I wear a hat just like yours
I talk in the same way as you
I eat the same things just like you
I wear the same skirt just like yours
That’s not the real me because I am unique.
I want a dog
I want a cat
I have a guinea pig
I have a hamster
But I am unique just like you
Some say I like art
Some say I like gaming
Some say I am rich
Some say I am normal
But I am unique just like everybody else
I colour my hair to be just like yours
I entered the same clubs as you
I style my hair and nails to be just like yours
I entered the same sports events as you
Is that the real me?
Because I am unique just like you
I am loved
I am happy
I am me
I am unique just like everybody else
