beauté

shared with MACRO MONDAY

Les êtres sont comme des fleurs.

Chacun a sa beauté propre,

chacun s'ouvre et s'épanouit à sa manière et à son rythme.

{précepte zen}

Human beings are like flowers.

each one has his own beauty,

each one opens up and blossoms in his own way and rhythm.

vie

shared with SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 2

somewhere above Nebraska - USA - August 2009

Qu'est-ce que la vie ?

C'est l'éclat d'une luciole dans la nuit.

C'est le souffle d'un bison en hiver.

C'est la petite ombre qui court dans l'herbe

et se perd au coucher du soleil.

{Crowfoot - Blackfeet Chief}

What is Life ?

It's the brilliance of a firefly in the night.

It's the breath of a buffalo in winter.

It's the small shadow which runs in the grass

and gets lost when the sun sets.
