CURRENT MISSION

Happiness is the ability to put our expectations into perspective: I'm actually Woking on it ;)

ABOUT ME

From Victor Hugo to Cyrano, only words!
From the tip of the pen to the tip of the sword,
From the lightness of being to the rigidity of steel.
Words can be our worst enemy or our allies

So, if you want to stop by my place, don't hesitate to slip me some of these words before... They can be sunny or spring-like words, in a bunch or scattered. I love them as one can love a kiss... ! As I love rebellious spirits and those who believe in the utopia of a better world, wine and humor...

In my spare time I'm also member of the Swiss Board of Reporters Without Borders / Reporters sans frontières (RWB / RSF) http://en.rsf.org/
Whatever country you came from, do not worry, in terms of protecting freedom of expression, "we" fights governments, not their citizens ;)
I'm also Stand Up Paddle Instructor).

PHILOSOPHY

My words to describe the life: "Curiosity"; "Serendipity"; "Complexity"; "Chaos" (theory); and "Carpe Diem" ;) I love also the sentence from the French philosopher, Edgar Morin: "In a complex society, we must have a complex thinking"... Understanding that "complex" doesn't mean "complicated"

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles today, To-morrow will be dying./i>
/Robert Herrick "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time"

I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover I had not lived.
/Henry David Thoreau (Walden)

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for..
/N.H. Kleinbaum
