Une breve histoire de la creation

Lu lors d'une de mes errances cybernetiques sur le blog Sociolingo (nouveau lien de ce blog). Il ne s'agit ni de l'histoire de la creation telle que nous la conte la Bible, pas plus qu'il ne s'agit de la breve histoire du temps de Stephen Hawkins ou de la version Darwinienne de la chose. Juste un beau conte Bambara qui remet les choses dans leurs perspectives.

Un conte bambara

Ecoutez bien ! Un petit conte, un petit conte.

L’œuf et le poussin sont allés récolter des citrons.

Le poussin a dit à l’œuf, <<>>

L’œuf lui a répondu, <<>>

Le poussin a grimpé l’arbre et il l’a secoué.

Les citrons sont tombés sur la terre.

L’œuf et le poussin les ont mangé.

L’œuf a essayé de grimper l’arbre à son tour.

Il a demandé au poussin de ramasser toute la poussière au-dessous l’arbre.

Le poussin l’a fait mais il y avait une petite pierre parmi la poussière.

L’œuf a secoué l’arbre quand il a essayé de le grimper.

Il est tombé sur la petite pierre et il s’est cassé !

Le poussin a ri, et a ri, et a ri !

Mais, une branche est détachée d’arbre et a cassé la tête du poussin.

La branche a ri, et a ri, et a ri !

Mais, un feu est venu et a brûlé la branche.

Le feu a ri, et a ri, et a ri !

Mais, l’eau est venu et a éteint le feu.

L’eau a ri, et a ri, et a ri !

Mais, la terre a bu l’eau.

La terre a ri, et a ri, et a ri !

Mais, la terre et Dieu se sont querellés.

Dieu a pris la terre et l’a laissée tomber.

C’est depuis le jour-là que la terre est dans sa place.

J’ai laissé ce petit conte où je l’ai trouvé !

détaché

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. As you can see, ...

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...
