New York journal d'un cycle

Rate this book
Ce que je veux, c'est arriver au point où je perds tout contrôle, pas dans la violence mais dans une douce acceptation des choses. Je souhaite le renoncement au terme d'un trajet de souffrance qui me révèle mon impuissance. Souffrir pour se rapprocher du moment où il n'y a plus rien à perdre et où toute parole, tout geste, toute odeur, tout souffle du vent, tout scintillement du soleil sur la mer est une grâce du ciel.
