L’orgueil, et puis le silence…

J’oublie toujours le nom de ce film de Julien Duvivier de 1939.

Shame on Captain Scott
Ces photos me tuent. Prises le 19 novembre 1911, durant l’expédition de Robert Falcon Scott au Pôle Sud.
Shame on him ! Et honneur à Amundsen.

Je comprends tellement cet ange…

Belle formule avant un suicide
“I am just going outside. I may be some time.”
Captain Oates, Antarctic explorer
On the 800-mile return trip of Robert Falcon Scott’s unsuccessful attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole, his team desperately slogged through freezing temperatures and blizzards, trying to stay on schedule and reach the supply depots along the way. Oates’ feet were badly frostbitten, and he was slowing down the rest of the men. He volunteered to be left behind, but his comrades refused to leave him. So finally he simply walked outside his tent and into a blizzard, telling the others, “I am just going outside. I may be some time.”

J’aime beaucoup cette image. En tout cas ce concept de liberté…

Liberté !
J’ai marché ce matin des milliers de km sur les chemins de la vieille chrétienté …
J’ai passé la matinée à parcourir mille ans d’histoire et des milliers de kilomètres à pied sur les chemin de la vieille chrétienté du Moyen-âge. Promenade spirituelle (au musée des monuments historiques au Trocadéro) entre roman et gothique : Moissac, Autun, Reims… Émerveillé et quasi désespéré de voir cette indispensable civilisation disparue, abandonnée, engloutie dans l’oubli par la bêtise contemporaine…
L’inoubliable Chapiteau de St Lazare à Autun…

Pour Malraux : le musée imaginaire…
Pour moi : tout. Malheureusement, ou heureusement – tout est imaginaire, mental, irréel…
“The 45 lessons life taught me” by Regina Brett
Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland,
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written.
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come…
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”

About Regina Brett
Milarépa sur sa montagne au Luco…
Il y a une petite fontaine dans le jardin du Luxembourg qui me fait toujours penser à une “montagne spirituelle” (comme il y en a chez les grands maîtres tibétains – Milarépa notamment – , et aussi dans le zen japonais ou le tchan chinois)
Voilà un petit montage pour montrer la “montagne” que je vois immédiatement quand je passe devant, et l’aura dorée ou plutôt orangée de Milarépa…

Les MBT rouges n’existent pas pour homme
Marielle a de la chance avec ses MBT rouges. Je voulais les mêmes mais ils ne les font pas pour homme. Donc j’ai acheté les noires, moins belles.
