DIALA BRISLY - A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY
(a huge thanks to my daughter who e-mailed this video to me)
BBC Newsnight
«Syria is devastated by five years of war - and it's taken a huge toll on the country's children. Here's one woman - artist Diala Brisly - who is trying to make life that little bit more bearable for Syria's kids.»
Syria is devastated by five years of war - and it's taken a huge toll on the country's children. Here's one woman -...
I got here to hide. From equations and patterns. From repetition, after all.
Closed the door and got me a special place where I thought I could
somehow sit close to the stars. But I soon found out that the sky was
still opaque, no matter what the steps. And so I left. Again.
I thought, then, I could build me a different ceiling, a new-coloured scrap
of highness. And then make it work. Where I could dream, more than I sleep.
I have long decided that sleeping is overrated - that I know for sure. So I
take that time instead to travel the night alone and in the meantime I allow
myself to fly, unlike stated before... Yes, I like playing with paradox, to
expose the inside of words and the revelation of writing down the voice of a
silence. My adventurous, ever-walking silence.
So I came back. Here, within this quiet world, I intend to gather all my
things usually kept hidden or inactive. They are here to speak.
And since the future is a stand-by secret, I want to live by a precocious
clock, at every running instant of every entering second.
And I will not slow down until my "future exists now" - kind of reverse
quoting Jacob Bronowski.

AU REVOIR, GEORGES! ♥ ♥ ♥
GEORGES MOUSTAKI
(Alexandria, Egypt – 03-Mai-1934 ~~~
Nice, France – 23-Mai-2013)
Je t’ai “rencontrée” par la
première fois en ‘69, j’avais 12 ans. J’étais à la troisième
année du lycée, où toutes les petites filles chantaient ta
chanson, Le Métèque, le vrai poème de la liberté. Moi, je la
savais toute entière, c’était pure beauté: le courage de tout
abandonner pour rencontrer l’âme qui nous appartient.
Tu sais, je ne l’avais jamais dit à personne,
mais tu as été mon premier grand amour, à la musique. Et que tu
étais beau! Sauvage et beau, avec tes poèmes qui entraient fond au
coeur, en douleur!
Hier, j’ai appris une chose la plus
triste: que toi, aussi, tu irais mourir un jour. Je crois que je le
savais mais je n'y ai jamais pensé...
Maintenant... voilà, tu es parti!
Et encore tu restes là, au monde, qui
ne t’oubliera jamais!
Au revoir, Georges!
Je souhaite que tu “pilles TANT de
jardins” à ton ciel!
