Amants de la vie ~ Lovers of Life

"Si nous pouvions être d'abord toutes et tous et avant tout et premièrement des amants de la vie,
alors nous ne serions plus ces éternels questionneurs,
Ces éternels mendiants qui perdent tant d'énergie
et tant de temps à attendre des autres des signes,
des baisers, de la reconnaissance
Si nous étions avant tout et premièrement des amants de la vie,
Tout nous serait cadeau
Nous ne serions jamais déçus
On ne peut se permettre de rêver que sur soi-même
Moi seul connait le chemin qui conduit au bout de mon chemin
Chacun est dans sa vie, et dans sa peau...
À chacun sa texture, son message et ses mots"

Julos Beaucarne, Femmes et hommes

"Be lovers of Life
Then we would no longer be these eternal questioners,
These eternal beggars
Who waste so much energy and time
In waiting for others to give them signs,
Kisses, recognition
If only we were, above all and in the first place,
Lovers of Life
Everything would be a gift for us
We would never be disappointed.
One should not allow oneself to dream upon others
Only I know the pathway which leads me
To the destination of my journey
Everyone is in his own life and his own skin
To each his texture, his weaving and his words."

"Life’s invitation to us all: Play your part well. Have fun with it. And when it does not seem like fun, bring wisdom to it. And when wisdom fails, bring patience. And when patience is in short supply, bring acceptance. And when acceptance is difficult, bring gratitude. For gratitude reverses any idea that something that is going on should not be happening. And then, we have found peace."-- from the forthcoming book "What God Said," by Neale Donald Walsch
