Origins of Water
So I need to take off to calm down. A caring friend says that water is the thread of this blog.
So let’s take some height to follow the thread.
From where comes Water?
From the montains ? - Good.
From the clouds ? - Nice.
It’s a cycle ? - Great!
Elements of Water (oxygen, hydrogen) have been created by stars.
Each star is an atom plant. Our sun products helium from hydrogen.
When stars die, many elements are spread in the space, and it forms these fabulous nebulous, these luminous clouds of interstellar matter.

Then these molecules join interstellar dust which will join by gravity a planetary system in creation around a new born star.
So primary matter came from initial universe but stars create more complex elements up to give birth to water and then the conditions for birth of life matter.
Some kind of stars – few- are able to product oxygen. In fact these kind of blue stars are created following a collision between 2 galaxies!
SO IT MEANS THAT WE LIVE IN SUCH A HUGE AND LARGE UNIVERSE BECAUSE IT NEEDS THIS SCALE OF SPACE AND TIME TO PRODUCT OXYGEN, TO PRODUCT WATER AND TO PRODUCT LIFE!
Are we high enough now?

On the sofa, watching the TV
In In Treatment, I love the challenge of the concept: the private practice of a therapist, the therapist, his patients. Nothing else. Just dialogs, reactions, emotions, pauses, silences, reflections, faces’ expressions. And however, how intense are these exchanges behind closed doors (we say “huis clos” in French). Just after a session you stay as the therapist: alone, breathing, debriefing, thinking: “Ouf! I was so much into it”. Amazing.
On another side, this is series. Some characters [Happily!] are just as it needs: accentuated, to appear more attractive. There are cross relationships between some patients. The therapist has an old friend who is his own therapist. We attend to the other side of the session: the therapists’ back office.
This represents a real performance for the actors: Close-up layout on their faces. A large range of emotions and reaction from one minute to another. It needs a total commitment.
Stop talking, just let’s have look.
PS. I love the generic, minimalist and thus... beautiful

Design
This empty space needs to be furnished.
I have done this virtual shopping digging up some objects just for fun .
Quite expensive. But Who cares ... Isn't beautiful?

Calanques
Won't you?
This had been a very wide area with just some fish boat and fishermen. Then it had been explored by divers, then rock climbers, trekkers and finally by tourists. During the last 20 years much arson destroyed this fragile area. Now the area is restricted and totally closed during summer.

Damned Relationship

-Cette relation ...merdeuse ?
-C'est une image.
-Oui, c'est une image forte.
-Cette relation à la con, si tu préfères.
-Ben oui. À la limite... je préfère."

Horse whispering
I was a horse lover. I met this man who - I will know later - was a horse-whisperer. He was searching for a land to live with his cavalry. My parents owned a large property with fields and forests in Dordogne (South west of France). He founds a house in the close neighbourhood and we lent him spaces for his horses. From this time I spent most of my free time into the wild around horses. I could tell hundred epic stories, hundred adventures about this wild side period.

I was slim, I wasn’t not afraid, and I was quite. For this man, I was the perfect “test rider”. We received some disturbed horses and the mission was to turn them into gentle horses! He was making his stuff to communicate with these crazy creatures, and then I had to carefully ride on it.
There was this black one who never knows how to walk, he was just gallop, gallop, galloping. He has been educated in the corral but when we came out for a ride, he had some relapses. I was feeling the trigger under his skin when he was starting as a pistol’ bullet. He was big and powerful. He was galloping in a crazy race against his fear. I had to control my own, lying on his back. Trees were scrolling on our sides, brushing my head and my feet. “Calm down, get the control!”. Against a horse’ bolt strength is vain, mental is the only way out. Breathing, using your mental, and firmly use the bride, then release, grip the bride one more time and release, up to the stop.
In these events I learnt so much. I needed strength to don’t fall down. I needed to use my mind to struggle against my fear, against my partner’s fear.

Rien à branler
We could translate “Rien à branler” with “I don’t give a shit”, or more accurately “I don’t give a toss”. In correct words: “I don’t care”.
It’s a parody of a commercial about a yogurt.
As everybody knows, a yogurt can change radically someone. This pseudo Che Guevara who was dreaming to change the world tested the new yogurt “Rien à branler”, and now …he doesn’t care at all.
“I have always dream of a better world where happiness could rules, where soldiers could be troubadours… but today, I changed. Today I don’t give a toss”.A woman off voice : “Rien à branler, the yogurt that change your mind!”- Also available in familial packaging … -
