<p>Because we&#8217;re not always moved by an artist, it&#8217;s important to aknowledge when it does happen and enjoy the magic of the moment as much as we can.</p>
<p>This is why I&#8217;d like to share <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Mann">Sally Mann</a>&#8217;s photography. Although <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/76038/sally_manns_immediate_family_the_unflinching.html">her art is controversial</a>, in my opinion, she has a rare way of capturing the beauty of humans, and her children in particular. Using a technique (I&#8217;ll let you read about it) that gives a kind of foggy effect to her images, she&#8217;s able to show the harshest aspects of life in a smooth way, almost as if she&#8217;d take you by the hand and say: &#8220;Look, it&#8217;s death. It&#8217;s terrible and scary, but that&#8217;s okay. Try to accept it, it&#8217;s part of who you are, and it&#8217;s your future.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her art can be seen at the <a href="http://www.elysee.ch/">musée de L&#8217;Elysée</a>, in Lausanne, until the 6th of June.</p>

<p>Although it&#8217;s not always good to mix up your private and professional (is this project private or professional? I don&#8217;t know yet) life, when you start something from the scratch, the ones close to you matter. A lot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When starting a project, the first thing you&#8217;d think of having is the right equipment, isn&#8217;t it?<br />
But what if the urge of starting something is greater than what you actually have?<br />
If you want to bake a cake, flour is mandatory. And cheap.<br />
If you want to record interviews, you have to have a camera. It&#8217;s rather expensive. And a good computer, which also costs quite a bit of money (unless you get second-hand equipment, but even then).</p>
<p>If you really want to bake a cake but you don&#8217;t have flour, you can always knock on your neighbour&#8217;s door.<br />
If you really want to record interviews, you can ask two of your friends (very generous friends) to lend you their camera, until you&#8217;ve saved up enough money to buy one.</p>
<p>You might not feel as comfortable as if you had your own piece of equipment, but when there&#8217;s a good solution out there for you, why not use it and postpone you project just because it should be perfect from the start?</p>

Before that trip, I had stopped listening to that aspect of my life, mostly because I didn&#8217;t have anyone to share it with and because it scared me a bit. I still don&#8217;t have a lot of people to share it with (or with whom I&#8217;d like to discuss it), but I realized it&#8217;s not something I particularly want to share. I just believe in a few things, and that&#8217;s all. Now I&#8217;m just embracing that faith again, and it makes me feel happier than before. I guess I&#8217;d missed it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working at a <a href="http://www.visionsdureel.ch">documentary film festival</a> these past few days, as an interpreter/translator. That&#8217;s something I love as I get to see documentaries, talk with directors, learn tons of things and help people understand each other. </p>
<p>Tomorrow, I&#8217;ll be working on <a href="http://http://www.twentyfourbit.com/post/482612004/lou-reed-directs-scores-documentary-red-shirley">Red Shirley</a>, <a href="http://www.loureed.com/00/index.html">Lou Reed</a>&#8217;s first documentary. Mr Reed himself will be attending (if Eyjafjallajokull lets him fly). I really hope to meet the New York rockstar and interview him, but arriving like that with a camera bothers me&#8230; At least I&#8217;ll thank him for inspiring me with his music. </p>

<p>11h00</p>
<p>Documentaire sur le cyclone Nargis, qui a touché la Birmanie en 2008.<br />
Je lis le dialogue entre une mère, qui allaite son poupon, et le caméraman.<br />
&#8220;Il (le bébé) a perdu son frère et sa soeur. J&#8217;ai essayé de les retenir, mais ils ont été emportés par les vagues. On n&#8217;a pas retrouvé leurs corps.&#8221;<br />
Des larmes coulent sur les joues de la mère. Le bébé s&#8217;est endormi au sein.</p>
<p>13h</p>
<p>Je traverse un parc, recroise ma collègue, une nouvelle fois en train d&#8217;allaiter son petit garçon.<br />
&#8220;Je vous vois toujours en train de lui donner à boire!&#8221; Elle rit, moi aussi.</p>
<p>La vie est étrange.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Au printemps 2002, nous apprenions que nous pouvions Vancouver, ville inconnue qui s&#8217;offrait à nous depuis seulement quelques jours, mais que nous devions éviter l&#8217;est du centre-ville, car un tueur en série y rôdait. Il y enlevait des prostituées, et personne ne les revoyait jamais. Il ne s&#8217;agissait pas d&#8217;une, deux, trois, quatre, ou même cinq femmes, mais bien d&#8217;une septantaine de victimes au cours des 20 années précédentes. </p>
<p>Nous nous sommes bien gardées de traverser seules ce quartier et avons été soulagées, quelques jours temps tard, d&#8217;apprendre que l&#8217;on avait retrouvé l&#8217;assassin, un éleveur de porcs de Coquitlam. en banlieue de la ville.</p>
<p>Les années qui ont suivi ont connu le dévoilements des faits les plus horribles. Le procès, tout d&#8217;abord public, donna lieu à des effusions de violence de la part de la population indignée. Comment un homme avait-il pu être aussi barbare? Comment la police avait-t-elle pu être si peu efficace? Des prostituées avait disparu, souhaitait-on davantage leur disparition que n&#8217;importe quelle jeune femme envers qui la vie avait été plus clémente?</p>
<p>Cette histoire fit couler beaucoup d&#8217;encre. Nombre de victimes ne furent jamais retrouvées, jamais identifiées. A jamais liées à la terre, aux animaux, aux outils, et à nous&#8230; concitoyens carnivores.</p>
<p>Huit ans plus tard, j&#8217;aperçois le titre d&#8217;un roman: <em>Les disparues de Vancouver</em>. Mon esprit se dirige vers les souvenirs d&#8217;un quartier bâti de misère, vers les articles décrivant la cruauté humaine, et un malaise monte. Tout écrivain est susceptible de prendre une histoire vraie et d&#8217;en faire ce qu&#8217;il veut. Lui être fidèle. Ou pas. Je ne peux m&#8217;empêcher de penser à ces microscopiques bouts de femmes dispersés aux vents, à ces âmes oubliées ressurgissant pour être mieux oubliées ensuite. J&#8217;espère que l&#8217;auteure, Elise Fontenaille, leur a témoigné le respect que d&#8217;autres n&#8217;ont pas daigné leur accorder. J&#8217;espère et bientôt, je découvrirai.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good way to see if you&#8217;ve learned something is to explain it to someone else. That&#8217;s what many students do; they study a certain topic and then explain it to their friends or relatives, trying to be as clear as possible. That way, they can see if they&#8217;ve integrated things well enough to do something with them: share them. </p>
<p>When you&#8217;re having a new idea but you&#8217;re not sure if it&#8217;s clear enough, talking about it is a great way to see how real it is, how ready it is to come out of your head.</p>
<p>It can be a bit scary to submit your idea to others. We&#8217;re all scared of people&#8217;s reaction, especially since we tend to share with friends and family first. But it&#8217;s the a good way to get started.</p>
<p>Once you start talking about what you want to do, people expect you to actually do it. It can&#8217;t go back inside your head&#8230; You&#8217;ve got to do it. Or try, at least.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning, barely awake, I had the pleasure of starting the day with a glimpse of <a href="http://henrietteweber.com/">Henriette Weber</a>&#8217;s tigress hair and a good dose of great advice. Remember I won one of her <a href="http://henrietteweber.com/rock-it-sessions/">Rock it sessions</a> a couple of months ago?</p>
<p>The session was really useful as I&#8217;m starting a project. Some of you might already know about it, but I kept it mostly hidden until now, because I&#8217;m starting from scratch and it only got clearer in the past weeks.</p>
<p>Henriette told me about storyliving which, from what I understood, means sharing with people, even though whatever you&#8217;re doing is still a work in progress. As sharing is the core of my project, I don&#8217;t see why I shouldn&#8217;t share right from the beginning&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, someone might steal my idea. Well, if you do steal it, then the things I want to do will still be done, right? Just not by me. As we&#8217;re all unique, I&#8217;m pretty sure it won&#8217;t be exactly what I would have done, so I guess there will still be plenty of space out there for me to do my thing. </p>
<p>Am I making a mistake here? Maybe, but as passionate as I may be, if things don&#8217;t work out, I&#8217;ll do things differently, or I&#8217;ll do something else.</p>
<p>Now what is this project?</p>
<p>Basically, I&#8217;d like to interview people who inspire me, people who have an interesting lifestyle and/or career path. </p>
<p>Why would I do that? Because, not too long ago, I realized that I was soon going to finish my studies and thought that the only future for me was to get a job and fit into whatever I&#8217;d have to fit into in order to pay the bills. In my mind, creating things or choosing to do something I love wasn&#8217;t a real option, especially since there is a financial crisis. I also didn&#8217;t have a good idea of what I could do, which companies are interesting or which positions there are to occupy. I noticed that in certain fields, like linguistics or litterature, the educational system (in my case, universities) is somewhat disconnected from the business market. In other words, from the students&#8217; future.</p>
<p>I was very anxious.</p>
<p>And I don&#8217;t want anyone to feel that way.</p>
<p>I would like to show students everywhere (and anyone else) that there are multiple ways of having a career, and opportunities few people know about. I know the world isn&#8217;t perfect. I know we don&#8217;t always have a choice. But it&#8217;s important to let others inspire us.</p>
<p>So let the inspiration begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Les yeux pleins de sommeil à cette heure plus que matinale, nous marchons vers le temple principal. Des chants guident nos pas, déjà nous apercevons des têtes rasées, des habits rouges. Et la pleine lune, prête à partir, donne encore un peu de sa lumière. Arriver dans un lieu sacré un soir de pleine lune&#8230; Hasard? Destin? Bouddha ne répond pas, il se contente de sourire.</p>
<p>Au-delà des portes, nous apercevons trois grands bouddhas en or, les trois mêmes que quelques larmes sont venues admirer la veille, au bord de mes cils. </p>
<p>Comment un lieu aussi grand, aussi clinquant que ce monastère du Sud de Taïwan peut-il nous apaiser autant?</p>
<p>Je me fais surprendre par une colère brutale qu&#8217;il m&#8217;est impossible de contenir. Tout au long du voyage, je promets. Devant les trois bouddhas, je promets encore. Nos mots se mélangent, se confient, nous nous passons nos ressentis, nous philosophons. De quoi d&#8217;autre parler que de l&#8217;essentiel?  </p>
<p>Lâcher prise, laisser le changement s&#8217;opérer. Découvrir avec bonheur la spiritualité d&#8217;un peuple étranger. Se rendre compte qu&#8217;on n&#8217;aime plus, que ce n&#8217;est pas grave. La colère grondera encore. Les bouddhas lui donneront simplement raison d&#8217;être.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Le vent gifle tout doute qui pourrait encore émerger. Elle est une femme spirituelle. Elle croit aux énergies qu&#8217;elle sent. Comment pourrait-elle faire autrement? Quand on sent quelque chose à l&#8217;intérieur de soi, pourquoi serait-ce un mirage? Quand on se sent en communion avec les éléments, quand on voit, sans les yeux, qu&#8217;il y a plus, bien plus, pourquoi se dire que l&#8217;on est aveugle? </p>
<p>Les tourbillons éphémères qui se forment autour des rochers résonnent avec la peau de son dos. Elle ne fait qu&#8217;un avec l&#8217;indescriptible. Des mois auparavant, ce lieu l&#8217;avait appelée. Elle savait maintenant pourquoi. Pour réveiller ses croyances, son instinct, son intime. Pour lui dire d&#8217;écouter, mais de s&#8217;écouter. Les autres auront toujours tort quand il s&#8217;agira de son instinct, même si son instinct se trompera lui-aussi. Ainsi vont les choses.</p>
<p>Le soleil brûle les écailles rouges du dragon. L&#8217;animal aquatique a offert un membre pour relier les terres. Il sentira bientôt toute sa peau onduler, et les grondements sourds des abysses feront vibrer son ventre. </p>
<p>Le monde aime nous rappeler que nous sommes tout petits. Il ne faut pas se sentir exclu pour autant, mais faire preuve d&#8217;humilité.</p>
