La malédiction de l'homme consiste à ne jamais se contenter de ce qu'il est. (Sylvain Tesson, Un été avec Homère)
LE VOYAGE FABULEUX
L’homme, dans le petit bateau, aimait raconter qu’il traversait l’Univers, à chaque fois qu’il prenait le large sur le grand fleuve, par un ciel étoilé. Comme si, l’Univers lui-même, était contenu dans son microcosme.
Le merveilleux lui suffisait, ici même… parfois avec un télescope pointé vers le ciel. Il avait conscience de la vastitude du monde et notre fragilité immense. Il se savait un homme chanceux de parcourir ce monde chatoyant, et il acceptait, avec modestie, la part de mystère qui lui était caché.
Traverser l’univers, disait-il, c’est un voyage enchanté qui commence en soi et se poursuit ici avec le chant des baleines, des bélugas, des oiseaux de mer… et les battements du coeur de la mer, de sa Terre. Ce soir là, en revenant au port, il fit jouer la chanson Across the Universe* sur son modeste lecteur audio, en souhaitant que rien ne change dans son monde. * (Beatles- John Lennon)

THE FABULOUS JOURNEY
The man, in the small boat, liked to say that he crossed the Universe each time he took off on the big river by a starry sky. As, if the Universe itself was contained in its microcosm.
The marvellous was enough for him, right here… sometimes with a telescope pointed towards the sky. He was aware of the vastness of the world and our immense fragility. He knew he was a lucky man to travel through this shimmering world, and he was accepting, with modesty, the part of the mystery that was hidden from him.
Crossing the Universe, he said, is an enchanted journey that begins in oneself and continues here with the song of whales, belugas, seabirds... and the beating of the heart of the sea, of its Earth. That evening, returning to port, he listened to the song Across the Universe* on his modest player, hoping that nothing would change in his world. * (Beatles - John Lennon)
