Le monde est plat, la pente est rude

2011-11-12

Les pieds dans le sable

Une promenade un peu nostalgique, sur les lieux de ma genèse japonaise (ma première année au Japon), la plage de Tsujido, l'antre des surfeurs japonais… Je me suis souvenu de cette nouvelle enfance (pas si lointaine), de mes premiers pas dans ce nouveau monde, de mes conversations avec Baudelaire sur cette meme plage (et des coups de soleil ravageurs qui,…
