running

the theme continues, i am running, what feels like an obstacle ride

running to finish work related things before the inminent departure
running to preparethe ones to come
running for a smile that doesn't come
running to see those who

i won's see for a while
i haven't seen for a while

running from one country to the other

hoping the smile will come

wishing

everybody
a good
HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

there was a jeudi bar yesterday,

following traditions i had at least a couple of glasses of wine, after which 

i took the decision to join the peace marathon

luckily for me, i had only had a couple so i inscribed myself for the lesser and lighter version
