About Me

Moi je t'offrirai des perles de pluie venues de pays où il ne pleut pas, je creuserai la terre jusqu'après ma mort pour couvrir ton corps d'or et de lumière, je ferai un domaine où l'amour sera roi, où l'amour sera loi, où tu seras reine.
Je t'inventerai des mots insensés que tu comprendras, je te parlerai de ces amants-là qui ont vu deux fois leurs cœurs s'embraser, je te raconterai l'histoire de ce roi mort de n'avoir pas pu te rencontrer.
Je ne vais plus pleurer, je ne vais plus parler, je me cacherai là a te regarder danser et sourire et à t'écouter chanter et puis rire. Laisse-moi devenir l'ombre de ton ombre, l'ombre de ta main, l'ombre de ton chien.

here i am struggling and filled with dread—afraid that i'll never squeeze enough graphite from my damaged cranium to inspire or asphyxiate any eyes grazing like hungry cows across the stage or page. inside of me i'm crazy i'm just crazy. inside i must continue.

Heroes:

Joan Baez. Because she has fought against wars, hatred, violence, poverty and all kind of social injustices, from death penalty to jails and draft. Because she is a pacifist, an activist, a non-violent fighter. Because she never gave up. She has seen the others fall and she's remained true to her beliefs.
Joan Baez. Because she has fought her personal struggle against her own problems. Because she did it with braveness and she won.
For all these things, and so much more, Joan Baez is my hero, my role-model and my guru.
