Il fait 35 degres a l'ombre du mont Manengouba

De retour sur le sol de mes ancetres, mes peregrinations me menent de l'air humide et pollue de Douala, de Tiko a Buea en passant par la Tole Tea Road sans oublier une halte forcee au bord de ma Sanaga cherie. Les villages et les visages s'enchainent et ne se ressemblent guere. Ils demontrent la beaute d'un paysage et de cultures qui symbolisent l'infinie sagesse du dessein divin dont nous ne sommes que des temoins aussi infimes que provisoires.
La connexion internet etant anemique, je vous en dis plus sur les "grandes ambitions" a mon retour.

Ah! Le Manengouba, quel souvenir! Habitué à pas mal barouder lors de mes deux années passées au Cameroun, j'avais mon petit "package" toujours prêt, constitué d'une toile de tente, d'un jerricane d'eau et d'un drap pour la nuit.
Quelle ne fut pas ma déconvenue lorsque, la nuit tombée sur ma tente plantée au bord du cratère, la température a vite chuté a 10 degrés!! Pas de pull, pas de couverture, la nuit fut longue...

Voit-on encore passer ces immenses troupeaux de chevaux conduits par des Aoussas sur le chemin du retour? C'est aussi un souvenir fantastique.

La vue qu'offre le paysage est tout simplement magique. Ces petites balades ca ete la a l'interieur du pays, ou l beaute pure se laisse contempler tandis que le temps s'ecoule inexorablement est un des meilleurs moments de ce sejour

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go.

This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. | JJ Principle (1)

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
