Everyone wants to be Marilyn Monro...." I can't recall more than that. Any idea?<BR/><BR/>I might have Georges Brassens' songs in my possession, though not accessible at this time. I'll see if I can make that happen. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Zazie, you're aways a lift.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-84672240473397836162007-07-24T01:19:00.000-07:002007-07-24T01:19:00.000-07:00"most people are social animals"..."les hommes son..."most people are social animals"...<BR/>"les hommes sont faits, nous di-on,<BR/>pour vivre en bande, comme les moutons ;<BR/>moi,je vis seul, etc'est pas demain,<BR/>que je suivrai leur droit chemin...<BR/>Je suis la mauvaise herbe,<BR/>braves gens, braves gens,<BR/>c'est pas moi qu'on rumine,<BR/>et c'est pas moi qu'on met en gerbes ;<BR/>je suis la mauvaise herbe,<BR/>braves gens, braves gens,<BR/>je pousse en liberté<BR/>dans les chemins mal fréquentés..."<BR/>Georges Brassens wrote those lines when I was very young ; they have been comforting companions to me ever since the first time I heard them on the radio (no TV at home in those days!)..<BR/>I suppose you will easily find somebody to help you, should a translation be necessary ; otherwise, just ask me : poesy can't be translated, in my opinion, but of course I can give you the meaning !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-73258185054286831392007-07-23T17:26:00.000-07:002007-07-23T17:26:00.000-07:00Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to do nothing...Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to do nothing at all.

THe only question that remains for each of us to ask, and we must constantly ask it: Do we really need permission to do the right thing (from the wife, husband, parents, kids, friends, etc.)? Or do we just need good faith? And whatever our answer, how or where do we get it? We should be looking for it all the time because only then will the mystery open enough to let us in, and permission and good faith will be as one, graceful.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.com
