Janvier 2007

Bonjour à toutes celles et à tous ceux qui ont eu ou qui auront à vivre dans cet état; l'exploration de soi à l'étrangé, partager l'inconnu, en chanson et sur les sentiers de rizières, chemin d'une montagne ou sur la voie circulant d'un village à un autre... Je n'étais alors qu'un jeune homme de bonne volonté, je suis devenu, incontestablement un rêveur. Pour un monde propice aux rêveurs...

I very much still imagine myself among the ones I loved, friendshiply lasting it was even then a little way to think about how my friends are. To come back home, of course changed forever, hearth beating to achieve human values. I was then in 1999, rich of it, on my own...

Still on my own, I let grow this last friendship, since almost 10 years now, travelling, on phone, etc... It is never easier as when we were all neighbours. In the natural way of doing thing. Knock on your door to see if you are around !

I became, through school, a wine specialist, already I was one that loved what's from the inner ground. Feel of dust and earthen smile... Still grounded to earth, I explore this wine world with the sentiment that more place for artisan wines would be welcomed. Then I continue to explore, finding that the grape itself, one of the more complete ingredient found, is great as fruit.

Maybe, this year, the industry makes me feel like that, no job for the ones who believe in the strenght of grape itself, no money on my side. I have although unperishable memories of that last travelling to British Colombia. I was working in Lake Louise, Alberta. I finished by 3 pm. Hitched to BC with a bag, my camera and of course roller blades or in line skates... Unbeleivebly, I came back to work just on time, great smile an detached !

Okanagan valley from west Bank Kelowna into Peachland, Summerland... From Penticton to Naramata, in line and breath taking hillocks with sunset. Great moment like that could well resume my last few years, doing it as on a line, like most of my friend have known me, spirited of freedom and a respect to the trail itself and the ones met on... Greater things wait to get achieve. magnifiquement l'Indonésie…
