Letter / BAVINGA

First Letter

Première lettre

I wrote you this letter because, in the end, I still do not know when time stops

Oh, you who read this letter Above all, guard your heart, for it is the source of your life Take your courage in both hands, for it alone will help you live Travel as much as you can to open yourself to the world Do not hide your wounds, for they will be even harder to heal

Even if today I find myself on this sunlit beach And I can neither move forward nor turn back Even if this scarf hides my face And makes me doubt my balance Even if my space is no more than a little square

At an uncertain height

Yet I have not faltered I am not afraid of falling Standing on top of my little piece of life

Things have not always gone my way

But do not worry, for even if in this world you think you will never find your path Remember this letter and do not grieve
