: We see ourselves looking at ourselves

our love stories are like the love stories in plays and novels that we love to hear, it's all lies, and this lie, so beautiful, can be broken, can suddenly be revealed: a simple veil, a fragile mist can just disappear and it is there, given away, before our eyes. Now, nothing would be needed to transform that which we believe to be the awakening after the dream into an even deeper, more peaceful dream, the worry of being disturbed intruding less and less.


It's simply a matter of admitting the danger of never again returning to our certainties. To never be afraid, and to see ourselves in the flickering lights of the stage and with our wavering attention.


To walk with measured steps, in the faintness of the light which separates the dream from wakefulness, the audience from the stage. To go ahead of our own imagination perhaps, to enter our own novel, to cross this barrier of spectators to be in the lights, actors in the tale.


And like a book into which one could go, to enter the story as one would penetrate further and further onto a stage, to go into the novel as one would travel by thought into the words and phrases, becoming the characters, putting oneself on show, the idea of childhood, as one would go walking in one's own imagination like an explorer and director, playing and to play, speaking the truth truer than true.


And when relief comes, when the dream fades and the dead rise up and the actors take their bow, and when calm returns to feelings and they continue on their way, there will remain, like a slight pain, a little death, the memory of this time of falsehood, and the unavowed hope that this new life may be the beginning of another new play, the entrance to another dream, even greater than the others and encompassing them all, to infinity and beyond, for ever.
