Roaming planet

I took shape in the universe, and alighted here, on blue planet.
Have I been diverted by some misfortune, fooled by some illusion?
For in rest or in exaltation, emerge
other images, other feelings, other spaces, other impulses,
which bring to me the fugitive and moved perfumes of a remembered elsewhere.

I am seated astride here and elsewhere.
Everything here is stranger to me than elsewhere.
Here is submerged by clamours and amazements;
elsewhere is irrigated by friendship, scintillates from enthusiasm,
is shrouded in silence, and is patient ad infinitum.

Elsewhere and here are meeting in an intimate and secret haven.

I dwell in life

“
“Let the little children come to me. Do not prevent them: yes, it is for their kind, the kingdom of Elohims.
Amen, I say to you: who does not welcome the kingdom of Elohims like a little child does not enter it.
He takes them in his arms...” (Mark 10, 14-16)

This sentence haunts me:

“
Amen, I say to you: who does not welcome the kingdom of Elohims like a little child does not enter it.

Fascinated by the paradox of this sentence, I had forgotten to look at the whole scene. However, it is written very clearly:

“
“He takes them in his arms...”

I welcome life,
as spontaneously as a little child
who tends his hands towards me
so that I take him in my arms:
thus, I am at home.

I dwell in life.
