Componer con la Vida
Nature awakes
a sense of awareness
toward life,
toward aliveness,
being light as well as shadow.
Toward time itself
that is everywhere
that is nowhere to be seen.
Nature directs us
to "compose with"* life
in order to embrace
all sort of loss
all sort of fear
we have to get through.
In order to receive
all the joy,
all the beauty
we are able to disclose
and give back.
Composing with my body
as a vehicle
I've tried to flow with the river
up to the tips of my fingers.
I had to walk every single day
to the point of the cliff
just to encounter my fear
out of desire.
And I gave back all of this
to the paper,
where my journey on Earth
finds its best achievement.
Now I know
that even the stones can dance.
*(from the French expression "composer avec"- to face, to deal with).
