L'homme avec la chemise bleue

and this is how I look

Si tu m'aimes vraiment
Viens donc me retrouver
Dans ma cabane perdue
Au milieu des marais
N'aie pas peur sur ta route
Des barques échouées
Suis la senteur salée
Des longs roseaux mouillés

Et nous nous aimerons
Sur le sol craquelé
Allongés sur ces herbes
Par le soleil brulées
Quand grondera l'orage
Ne sois pas effrayée
Puisque nous sommes deux
Sur mon ïle isolée

another rabbit with a dark future

Today in Antwerp Cathedral

The creativity and the pathology of the human mind are two sides of the same coin, hammered in evolution. First is responsible for the splendour of our cathedrals, second for the monster statues, decorations to remind us that the world is full of devils and evil spirit. They represent the insanity throughout mankinds history.

Sorrow no more

As it was late in the night when I drove my folks to Charleroi airport "Brusssels south", I was alone on the highway coming back and this song was on the radio : Sorrow by Bad Religion.
Suddenly I was on the memory lane and had a feeling like "it might end up all right now".

Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
and all the sorrow in this world
Let me take you to the herding ground
where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet
that could not be won
between a prideful father and his son

Will you guide me now for I can't see a reason
for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well then I do imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

When all soldiers lay their weapons down
or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us
from ourselves it's easy to imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no moreYeah

there will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

I guess we have to be thankful for moments like this

Time for beauty : sculpture

After the politics and sports, I found it necessary to share a moment of beauty with my honorable ( lucky ) few readers. This statue of condottieri Colleoni by Andrea del Verrocchio gives the word "macho" a new meaning, even though it is dated 1480. You can find it at the Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. ( That's where my parents heading for next week )

9-11-1973 Allende dies

New documentary by Patrizio Guzman, some comments I read in the Belgian press:
Why a new documentary on Salvador Allende, everything has been said ?
On the contrary ! People in Chile don't talk about him, the land is suffering from a total loss of memory. We must save Allende from oblivion.
What did you found out about him ?
Allende was a rather "classic" man, some kind of a serious teacher. He had these serious glasses and always wearing old-fashioned costumes. He spoke very slowly, a bit like an old man. On the other hand he was really a "bon vivant" he loved women, jokes and red wine. His speeches were highly ironic. He was charming and social but not a demagogue. He came from a wealthy family, but was capable of talking to everybody. He knew perfectly well how to communicate in politics. Furthermore he had his ethusiasm, even when he lost elections, again ( ! ), he shouted : "and tomorrow there's another day !" Little by little, the people in Chili started to appreciate him. By the time Allende became president, I was fully aware of the fact that he was living history.
Until the end Allende believed that he could accomplish social reformation in a legal way, wasn't that an illusion ?
Allende just saw an opportunity to live up to his ideals and he went for it. He was always in trouble, half of the country loved him, the other half could eat his guts. Even the army was divided. The USA have a large part in the failure of Allende, the responsability of Kissinger and Nixon is enormous. They played a real dirty game and used all the foul play they could think of. First Nixon spent millions of dollars in anti-Allende propaganda, when that failed the CIA organised the coup in Chili. Result : Allende shoots himself, Pinochet starts his terror.
Edward Korry, American Ambassador in Chili at that time, admits in the documentary that Nixon wanted to crush Allende. An AXIS Santiago - Havana was a horror-scenario for the White House.
Exactly, and the White House keeps using the same simple principles to ground its foreign policy. Certainly it is true that Allende admired Castro and Guevara, Allende was in a way revolutionary but he was truly opposed to violence. He condemned the Russian invasion in Prague and Hungary. In the end, when Castro wanted to send him armed troups to resist the coup, Allende refused and said to Castro that the last thing on earth he wanted was Cuban soldiers in Chili. The sad thing however is ; nothing has changed. Nixon and Kissinger were terrible but Bush and Rumsfeld are even worse.

I took the liberty of squeezing the interview ( in Dutch ) into my handicapped English. Not only I violated the copyright, I also messed with somebody's carefully formulated opinions... The responsability is all mine, but I think I respected the general idea of the interview; you have to trust me on that.

Abou the photo / it's one of these pictures that gives you the feeling history was happening right in front of that camera, right then and there. Try to imagine a recent history without photography
