Jean-Michel Folon: The Return of the Two Snails
[1979

 Nature speaks a silent language, however I remember when I understood the vowels and the nouns, they whispered treaties and manifestos, so simple I was delighted to be included, the sun kissing the water and each leaf with gentle intensity. My whole world in a parted stream.

Let me live this moment

Let me live it thoroughly, as each stone loves in the water, steadfast and faithful.
