Tina et Rudy
— Mais Rudy, tu ne peux pas abandonner ces choses-là : le pâturage, monter à cheval,
planter du pois et piquer des herbes.
— Jamais, mademoiselle Lucienne ! Si je ne le fais pas, je trahis mon pays agricole, je trahis
mes origines, je trahis mes parents et je vous trahis aussi, les gens de la ville.
RÉFLEXION
Si le hasard existe, la destinée aussi.
Les gens affranchis sont réellement riches.
Les jeunes gens sont capables ! Ne les limitez pas !
Ne trahissez jamais vos amis !
Un bon ami peut être de n’importe quelle nationalité !
Certains hommes sont réellement transnationaux.
Répondez à l’appel de votre coeur !
Le monde est à nous.
Donnez et prenez aussi !
Si nous avons besoin de l’intelligence et du courage pour la vie, bien sûr, pour bien mourir,
nous avons besoin de la foi en Dieu à travers son Fils Jésus-Christ.

Trips
By Earl Griffin
When the ghosts met, there was much confusion. Stacey watched them come down the wide concourse, coming generally in his direction but without intention or purpose, appearing from the mist of months and birthdays and years and Christmases missed, a thousand greetings forsaken, ten thousand moments lost.… He had become accustomed to his being dead to them. Now. What. A resurrection? It was the older brother’s face that caused Stacey to think to turn and to run, … from the two revenants.
