Rorschach reflections. Can you see through ? And if so, what’s on the other side ?

Lakes and water, altitude lungs.

Have we found Mordor ?

Should all things end ? Or somehow like a stone become eternal. Immortal in a place somewhere in space and time. And so, can we discover that place ?

Incessant call for discovery and adventure, shared with compassionate love.

There are not few places that have marked me as such as this place during my journey. Mirror to the connection with the natural world. These lands around the Arctic have fascinated me for a very long time, the severity on the first outskirts of these territories yet full of life, its contrasts, its populations adapted to the harshness of the environment while resonating with poetry, elegance and sweetness.

Somehow, at the end, is it a glimpse of understanding of the saudade ?

elíssima. When the all wide world felt alive.

Lost in Béarn.

If the comfort makes us numb I wish I had known,

coz in the beautiful wild, damage gets done.

We had nowhere to go, and every desire for going there.

But from fire and ash, life maybe, might riser.

Becoming.

Chain of cinder cones, and lava domes. Massif Central, France.

A whisper in the wind. A dancer in the sand. A fire pit story. A grazing star in the way. A dream of a thousand but one night.

Bouffée d'air basque.
