as if I could split myself in 'bits'!
enfin... so it goes: a 'split' being, always divided between
reasoning and emotions. While living in Brazil, I was said to be
misplaced, my ideas never fit into the 'Brazilian spirit'. Too
strange, far too far from my cultural birth-place.
As an immigrant-type Belgian, I remain kind of out-of-place, my
ways to express emotions are not exactly the super-developed
European way to do it.
my whole life i've been looking for new questions to old answers.
Never understood how immobility could bring any development.
Moving and dancing, walking and writing, listening, looking and
trying to live according to the messages brought through the Music
of the Universe, which can only be achieved when Hope is present.
in the search for honesty and authenticity, i've met many people,
and most of them became my friends and they still are.
in the search for meaning for my live, i've finally met my beloved
one, Guy, who proves that romance and respect are possible and
real.
in the search of my values, i embrace my family, who never
abandoned me and with whom i've learned to love.
in the search for nature and roots, we've been adopted by Zoentje,
a lovely white cat, who teaches us how to communicate in a richer
way.
languages! what a treasure! each new idiom is an open window to a
new and enriching world. Thanks to the difference of languages,
original cultures can keep their deep foundations. How beautiful
it is to be able to penetrate into another way of living! the
knowledge of other sounds and other meanings gives each fact a new
dimension.
of course, studying languages becomes a passport for my
innumerable trips, because this planet is so wonderful and there
are so many exciting places to see!!! i'm lucky enough to have my
xuxu, who shares this passion with me. We sure can see a lot with
a backpack and a bottle of water as luggage!
i don't fear life, i only fear destructiveness.
i'm not afraid of trying, not afraid of being happy. But i've come
to know that most people are. And i try to say a good word, even
when i don't find it myself.
i believe in good words.
i believe in the power of words, especially the good ones.
therefore i write.
therefore i am a poet.
