Just a brief moment, a fleeting instant in the infinite universe—that's all we are. I feel lost in it again, small and insignificant. It happens during dinner, just before we finish, when I notice something shifting inside me. It creeps from the center to the edge, shifting its center of gravity and upsetting the balance...

I'm startled by the sight of the full parking lot. But fortunately for us, the mass of people remains in the climbing park and at the fences behind which animals have their home. So we quickly have the entire path to ourselves. And sometimes it feels as if we have the entire forest, even the...

We quickly plunge from the parking lot into the forest, but the sounds of the nearby road accompany us for quite a stretch. The deeper we immerse ourselves in the dense forest, the quieter it becomes, until the noise disappears completely. Here I finally hear a few birds. And then I let go. For over...

I don't know where we've ended up, but it seems to be a fascinating place. Yesterday evening I was alone on a small stroll through Bergues – little more than a concentrated cluster of mostly old brick buildings that form the historic core.

I am so full of rage that I fear I might wrench the steering wheel and crash into something. Into one of the many cars clogging the road on both sides, or into the nearest tree, the nearest wall, the nearest railing. I don't want to be here, not at this time and under these...

Cliffs that plunge into the sea. Fields with dense bushes adorned with golden-yellow blossoms, where the air is fragrant with coconut. These are the pearls of Brittany, the colors of this coast that I have never before perceived with such intensity. Here it is the first impression and a lasting one. Everywhere and on every...

The weather is changeable all morning. At noon, the sky clears up and the sun comes out. We also go out for a walk here in Quimper. Not into the city, but out to its outskirts. Surprisingly, it is very green. Along the streets, meadows, trees, and shrubs line the way, and there's a scent...

A beautiful path that begins by the sea, where the sun's rays glitter, and ends there again. In between, it leads over field paths from which one overlooks endlessly green landscapes, and through small villages with magnificent houses on spacious grounds and splendid colorful gardens. Then onwards through avenues of majestic, sweeping trees that provide...
