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.

Welcome

“Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder 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)

You say to me: “Adhering to me is welcoming me, it is up to you to open your door to me, because the door which prevents you from coming to me is also the door which allows you to come to me.”
If I open my door to you, I open your residence.
What separates us is nothing but my door, and its handle is on my side.
My door is my free choice. You say to me: “Live without me, or live with me. If you want to live with me, simply open your door to me. I welcome you at your door, welcome me”.

You say to me: “You, the little child you are, come to me!”

You say to me: “Me, the little child I am, welcome me!”

Deep in my ear are streaming laughters of children.

“I judge you according to your mouth...” (Parabola of the talents or the mines, Luke 19, 22)

“Do not judge, in order not to be judged. Yes, with the judgement you judge you will be judged; with the measure you measure it will be measured for you.” (Matthew 7, 1-2)

Echo says to me: “I am who you say I am” and reflection in the mirror: “I look at you with your eyes.”
