Aurevoir Minneapolis

Before I go, remember that night where I recounted that amazing sunset that happened here in Minneapolis? Well, check this out (picture taken by Chris)... it WAS this unbelievable!

Alors voilà... mon voyage tire à sa fin. Vendredi, je vais faire un dernier petit voyage à Finland (Minnesota!). C'est à côté du lac Supérieur (donc au Nord-Est de Minneapolis/St-Paul.) Mardi prochain, je suis sur la route. Sudbury en premier, et ensuite, de retour à mon amour, Montréal.

Peut-être que mon blogue va continuer à Montréal... pour raconter mes péripéties à la bibliothèque. On verra ben. En attendant, j'ai ben hâte de vous revoir.

D'ici là, j'aimerais bien rédiger un beau poème d'adieu... but the next best thing to being brilliant, is to quote someone who is (thanks for that one, Chris):

So here's brilliance, from Neruda's book of poetry "Still Another Day":

VI
Pardon me, if when I want
to tell the story of my life
it's the land I talk about.
This is the land.
It grows in your blood
and you grow.
If it dies in your blood
you die out.

XV
We the mortals, touch the metals,
the wind, the ocean shore, the stones,
knowing they will go on, inert or burning,
and I was discovering, naming all these things:
it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.
