Universal Heritage
|
I seek
not the way of the myths the hidden mysteries or
the sacred beliefs of the peoples.
I
wish to speak of an elemental and simple dimension:
but I must say it in my own language of forms and
colours.
What
I have to say is about something visible,
necessary and vital:
Water,
Earth, Air and Fire.
Primordial
values, very seldom appreciated: four values
which preserve the origin of all things and
which, suddenly, can tell us their story.
This is what they have told me:
|
 |
|
|
Water.
Yours
is the power to sing and pass along, choir
and symphony in your sounds of waterfalls,
echo of litanies in the Sea.
Clouds
are your herald, you announce your passage
with drops of rain, your colour is in the
river, the pond, the spring and the lake,
and you glitter like snow in the sunset.
The
earth ever awaits your arrival.
|
| |
|
|
|
Earth.
You
are wide, great and generous.
By
walking we discover you.
All
the colours deck and adorn you.
Your
flavours become our daily bread.
We
are born of your womb and return when we become
your seed.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Air.
You
are in the earth, in the water and in the fire.
You live everywhere.
You
are soft and transparent, stormy and violent.
Messenger
of fragances amd storms, you graze with your
wings the new and the old, the good and the
bad, the beautiful and te ugly: you skip along
the pathways, make sculpture of the clouds
and roar in the ravines.
With
your breath you revive the flame of sustenance.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fire.
That
illuminates, purifies and burns, you are dance,
feeling and song.
You
live within us, in the power of love, you are
in our grief, our tears and in the sun.
