"Une Après-Midi de Cannelle" est un recueil de 144 poèmes qui introduit le lecteur dans un monde surréaliste, qui existe entremêlé à notre monde banal et désinvolte, où tout est interconnecté et existe simultanément comme réalité et aussi comme imagination.
Des visions, des états contemplatifs, des incursions délicieuses dans les terres où tout existe comme des douceurs cuisinées, créées et induites à l'aide de la poésie libre contemporaine, donnent envie au lecteur de lire davantage, afin qu'il puisse s'attarder encore et encore dans la dimension où tout n'est qu'une fantaisie vue du coin de l'œil. Ajoutez-y de la romance, des perceptions hors du temps, du surréalisme et du mystère, et vous commencerez à avoir une idée de la façon dont ce livre se déroule, page après page.
Le livre parvient à créer cette atmosphère où la maturité et le jeu enfantin se mêlent, projetant le lecteur dans une dimension intemporelle, au sein même de son salon, le guidant à travers une série d'aventures joyeuses où l'esprit imaginatif joue son point fort.
La vision de situations réelles à travers des yeux ludiques et souvent surréalistes apporte ce confort et cet espace de réparation du coeur, où le lecteur sent la chaleur de son moi serein revenir comme si mille morceaux de son âme formaient à nouveau le grand puzzle.
En quelques mots, le livre peut être décrit comme un voyage poétique dans un monde imaginaire à la cannelle que nous souhaitons tous, dans nos rêves les plus intimes.
The simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as «directing our awareness in the present moment», can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society.
This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view.
Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth to you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, and to our relation to this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we discard or transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment.
I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.
Namaste
