Little Snail (au ralenti)

Have you ever felt like everything is moving forward so s-l-o-w-l-y in your week (and the next, and the one after that, in fact for quite a while) although you are doing many things and being fully alive, which is, I guess, why we are here in the first place ?






In the summer I work at the yoga centre almost every day, so I can't seem to tackle any translation in a reasonable delay, and I have barely touched my pencils in the past month, which means my various and dear projects are on "hold" until I don't know when. Not to mention this blog.




But behind the scenes, I am spending quality time with Pierre who is in Montréal for almost three weeks, and this makes me truly happy. Pictures coming soon (here is a sneak peek).




Avez-vous déjà eu l'impression que tout progresse très lentement - pendant des jours - tout en profitant pleinement de vos journées, ce qui est, après tout, notre principale raison d'être ici ?

Comme travaille beaucoup au centre de yoga cet été, j'ai du mal à venir à bout de mes traductions dans un délai raisonnable, et j'ai à peine touché mes crayons et pinceaux depuis un mois, ce qui signifie que mes projets sont sur "pause" pour une durée indéterminée. Sans parler de ce blogue.

Mais Pierre est à Montréal pour presque trois semaines, et c'est un vrai bonheur. Photos à venir (en voici juste une aujourd'hui, pour vous faire patienter).

:o)

  1. How wonderful to have three whole weeks with your love. I hope it keeps moving slowly so you can soak in every precious moment.

    The days and weeks here seem to fly by & while things in my life are moving forward slowly my life seems to be flashing by. Sometimes I worry, unnecessarily I know, that my dreams will still be just dreams, that my time is running out. Today I drew a 'patience' card!

    Beautiful image of you Emmanuelle. Is that your peonie cemetery?

    1. Oh, I know exactly what you mean! I've always had this thought, too, as it can take several years for me to achieve a project that I should have been able to complete in a few months... I eventually became aware that every slow step I'm taking is in fact the whole point of these projects: my skills are making progress along the way. And enjoying the process is truly helpful (instead of feeling stuck, or guilty, like I did so often before).

      Similarly, I feel so blessed to be able to spend even three weeks with my love, as each year keeps adding depth and joy to our feelings, in every aspect.

      Yes, this is my peony secret garden! Hydrangeas are in bloom now, and everything is so lush all around, with many birdsongs. Thank you for the compliment Chontelle, and for your warm comment. I'd really like to know more about your dreams :o)

    2. ps - He flew back to Paris a few days ago and I miss him, so I dived right back into my portrait project - it's both tricky and rewarding to be drawing again after many weeks!

  2. Une bien belle personne, aux longs cils, en profil rêveur... Bravo à l'auteur de la photo, and, why not, aux "auteurs" du bébé devenu cette belle personne !

    1. Merci de la part du photographe, et de la rêveuse, qui a beaucoup de travail tout d'un coup mais qui vous promet un nouvel article pour la fin de cette semaine !
