This last Sunday, while walking past a \u201cI am Charlie\u201d poster. My daughter said: \u201c So I understand everything that went down, the historical importance and all, but\u2026 I would like us to get back to a world in color\u201d (naaaaahhhhhh\u2026.. Yeessssss).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I attempted to answer her about the mourning time, personal to each, the necessity for some to continue to claim for us all so that we won\u2019t forget.\u00a0 There is for my part, this emotional ebb and flow that won\u2019t really leave me and at the same time, I understand this need for rebirth, to not loose sight, to not forget life \u201cin colors.\u201d\u00a0 I get it \u2026 I even aspire to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, notice to parents, I have learned since then that we have to keep kids out of this dialogue, because they tend to fully relive the current pain, while for us it\u2019s a little bit different, isnt\u2019 it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since the terrorist attacks, I think greatly about this magnificent book on The Art of Joy.\u00a0 I have meant to talk to you about it for a while.\u00a0 Because I have read and reread it for a long time, stick post-it notes all over it, then forget it and reread it\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t pretend to redevelop for you the entire thought process of Nicolas Go, the author, but they always stay with me like a watermark, and more presently for a few weeks now, because his theory is that joy is a sort of resistance when facing horror:\u00a0 it\u2019s violent already, It\u2019s tough already, so if I loose joy I loose twice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, he distinguishes in a very interesting manner the joy of happiness.\u00a0 Happiness to him is a suspension, a parenthesis that obliges us to forget violence:\u00a0 how can we be happy while knowing about all the violence that surrounds us?\u00a0 Impossible. Our time of happiness is always counted and finds itself tightly connected to our ability to detach, necessarily ephemeral, while facing the world brutality.\u00a0 Joy is always within us.\u00a0 Always there for those who want to believe, sometimes, it\u2019s just necessary to find the way again (like memory).\u00a0 And when facing a sometimes hopeless world, we only have joy or laughter to fight back.\u00a0 But if we have that, we have that at least.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ok T\u00e2m, we aren\u2019t going to slip into a black and white world.\u00a0 We are aware of what is going on, but we will continue to offer a color version.\u00a0 I find this is a great program, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kisses\u2026 in colors then!<\/p>\n
