Just have a big parrot flies and lands on me, waking me up in the morning. Parrot Baby Picasso's new bedroom is next to mine. Soon, Baby Picasso jumped off, walked around and pecked on my toe. Aww! ... naughty bird. Then a lovely morning kiss. Ok, I get up now.
It has been one month since my birthday. But, there is no time better than to reflect upon your life than today.
Question posed in L’Intransigeant during the summer of 1922:
“An American scientist announces that the world will end,
or at least that such a huge part of the continent will be destroyed, and in
such a sudden way, that death will be the certain fate of hundreds of millions
of people. If this prediction were confirmed, what do you think would be its
effect on people between the time when they acquired the aforementioned
certainty and the moment of cataclysm? Finally, as far as you’re concerned,
what would you do in this last hour?”
Marcel Proust, in a letter, responds:
“I think that life would suddenly seem wonderful to us if we were threatened to die as you say. Just think of how many projects, travels, love affairs, studies, it–our life–hides from us, made invisible by our laziness which, certain of a future, delays them incessantly.
‘But let all this threaten to become impossible for ever, how beautiful it would become again! Ah! If only the cataclysm doesn’t happen this time, we won’t miss visiting the new galleries of the Louvre, throwing ourselves at the feet of Miss X, making a trip to India.
‘The cataclysm doesn’t happen, we don’t do any of it, because we find ourselves back in the heart of normal life, where negligence deadens desire. And yet we shouldn’t have needed the cataclysm to love life today. It would have been enough to think that we are humans, and that death may come this evening.”Your gift from heaven gift is already here. See it? Only if you appreciate it.
Happy Birthday to you, my dear friend!
Go play. Be naughty and nice. Live fully.
Love & Dance with Passion,
