View from my
Mom's House Boat
It is only when we distance ourselves
from
the
things we love,
we are able to see their
powerful
beauty.
"We
have to
keep on dreaming to get our wishes
fulfilled!"
"SILVER LINING"
could have
been a
great title too!
Listen to the beautiful song of Jacques
Brel

LE PAYS
PLAT
("My flat country/mijn platte
land")
Avec la mer du Nord pour dernier terrain
vague
Et des vagues de dunes pour arrêter les
vagues
Et de vagues rochers que les marées
dépassent,
Et qui ont à jamais le cœur à marée
basse
Avec infiniment de brumes à venir
Avec le vent d'ouest écoutez-le tenir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec des cathédrales pour uniques
montagnes
Et de noirs clochers comme mâts de
cocagne
Où des diables en pierre décrochent les
nuages
Avec le fil des jours pour unique voyage
Et des chemins de pluie pour unique
bonsoir
Avec le vent de l'est écoutez-le vouloir
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec un ciel si bas qu'un canal s'est perdu
Avec un ciel si bas qu'il fait l'humilité
Avec un ciel si gris qu'un canal s'est
pendu
Avec un ciel si gris qu'il faut lui pardonner
Avec le vent du nord qui vient s'écarteler
Avec le vent du nord écoutez-le craquer
Le plat pays qui est le mien
Avec de l'Italie qui descendrait l'Escaut
Avec Frida la Blonde quand elle devient
Margot
Quand les fils de novembre nous reviennent en
mai
Quand la plaine est fumante et tremble sous
juillet
Quand le vent est au rire, quand le vent est au
blé
Quand le vent est au sud, écoutez-le
chanter
Le plat pays qui est le mien.

Dear Olga, I sure know what you mean. I lived in Den Haag for almost 10 years and was able to travel a lot. I've been back here for, four, and it is very difficult accepting it still. I dearly hope, though, that President Obama can begin turning a lot of things around, especially the destruction of nature and of wars! Thank you for this beautiful gallery. It means so much to me, and it is a place I can come to as sanctualy. Peace, etc., BruceSusana Araujo 21 Jun 2009

"Le plat pays qui est le mien," as Jacques Brel sang. (The flat country that is mine.) It's so odd because Louisiana is so flat and so dissimilar. We have five times the space and a tenth of the population. Thanks for sharing.Anonymous Guest 11 Jun 2009
