First day of shooting in the city for a commercial.
No deep waters here, merely bottles of enslaved waters, and pediluves.
My feet are wet.
Two priorities : get out of that place and find a stream of lava to dry my socks.

Does a dog cloudgazing sees dogs shapes in the clouds?

Tranquille, tranquille, Margarita dans le calice ardent..

My parents house.
Atmospherical dullness.
The skies are blue, thoughtless, devoided of any clouds.
I suspect the cat, Charles-Xavier, of secretely constructing a proton accelerator in the garden.

Plonger son regard dans le ciel et ses paysages glissants c’est admettre que rien ne nous appartient ; et que la vérité change de forme au grès des vents.

“Une image qui se fixe prend peu à peu le caractère de la perception présente... ainsi stable et apaisée l’image coupe les ailes à l’imagination.” - Gaston Bachelard

Âmes éclairées,
au regard guidé par le souffle,
les nuages s’agglomèrent,
en des troupeaux de métaphores ascensionnelles.

Prometheus is a pretentious twat.

« Je calculai comme suit.
D’abord, je trace ce parallèle entre 50° et 52° de latitude nord ; c’est celui qui traverse la plus longue étendue de terres sèches.
Il passe au sud du Canada, puis sur l’ensemble du continent eurasien, de l’Angleterre méridionale à l’île de Sakhaline.
Maintenant je trace le méridien qui traverse la plus longue étendue de terres sèches. Il se situe entre 20° et 28° de longitude est, traversant l’Ancien Monde approximativement depuis le Spitzberg jusqu’à l’Afrique du Sud.
Je garde cette marge de 8° parce qu’on peut considérer la Méditerranée soit comme un véritable océan soit comme une simple poche maritime à l’intérieur du continent.
La conjonction des deux lignes, comme vous pouvez le voir, se situe quelque part en Pologne orientale, ou en Ukraine, ou en Biélorussie, à l’intérieur du quadrilatère formé par Varsovie, Cracovie, Minsk et Kiev. »
« Merveilleux ! » s’exclama Cicoria, le tailleur hégélien. « Je vous suis maintenant. Puisque l’île que nous cherchons a sûrement une superficie plus grande que celle du quadrilatère, l’approximation convient fort bien. Le Mont Analogue se trouve à l’antipode de cette région, ce qui le situe… attendez un instant, que je travaille cela… ici, au sud‑est de la Tasmanie et au sud‑ouest de la Nouvelle‑Zélande, à l’ouest de l’île d’Auckland. » - René Daumal

London - the sky is bleeding.
Rain smolders under artificial trees.
A civilized squirrel is staring at me.
Towers soaring to allouf nimbostratus drifting in the sky.
Mosaïc of different lives - mirors and TV screens in most of them.
A book sitting in a bed lit by a small lampe de chevet, nobody’s reading.
A few level beneath, a young woman making squats in her kitchen.
Above, a bald man death scrolling since yesterday. Someone should tell him he will not reach the bottom before he dies.

Just arrived at Chauvet cave reproduction.
It smells like perfume.
Lots of angles, too much corners.
Do cavemen also went through midlife crisis?

Le ciel qui vagabonde est un ruban contre la certitude.
10/24
Laying down on cold soil,
sharp rocks as a matress.
I am wet and cold.
A deer cracks the silence with nonchalent complaints.
I perceive lassitude.
Is it abyss-weary?
Does it dream of riding a Mclaren in the first rays of sunlights, bragging about its deeds to two shaggy fauns with large udders ?
Nature’s beauty is eerie and bleak -
It was nearly tomorrow and a strange blue light was piercing through the nocturnal clouds.
24/10
Calcification is interesting, it is like a stasis. Fossil ice.
What geochimical state comes after ?
