Here! The last hours of 2020 have passed and those of 2021 have already taken over… What prospects for this new year? I am a dreamer. My pupils sparkle like the stars. I can feel my heart beating harder. A word has arrived…
Together. More than a word, it invites us to come together and go beyond our individualities. “To be able to be a diversity in a singular and to be a singular in a diversity.”. I rewrite words from my poem Oh Freedom which invites everyone to take one’s freedom to come true this power.
And then there are also the words of the song Ensemble in VF (Together in English).
Souviens-toi
Était-ce mai, novembre
Ici ou là?
Était-ce un lundi?
Je ne me souviens que d’un mur immense
Mais nous étions ensemble
Ensemble, nous l’avons franchi.Reviens-moi
Ensemble, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Chansons pour les pieds, 2001.
De tes voyages si loin
Reviens-moi
Tout s’ajoute à ma vie
J’ai besoin de nos chemins qui se croisent
Quand le temps nous rassemble
Ensemble tout est plus joli
I propose a personal translation:
Remember
Was it may, november
Here or there?
Was it a Monday?
I only remember a huge wall
But we were together
Together we got crossed.Come back to me
Sonia Kanclerski, Pause-café chez Sonia, Together, Ensemble by Jean-Jacques Goldman.
Of your travels so far
Come back to me
Everything adds to my life
I need our paths that cross
When time brings us together
Together everything is prettier
Personal translation in English, January 2021.
These lyrics of the song by Jean-Jacques Goldman from the album Chansons pour les pieds (Songs for the feet), a canon released in 2001, resonate in chorus in my heart.

I wish us to be able to find ourselves together, beyond our personal difficulties or other daily worries. May empathy help to radiate joy and solidarity in our interpersonal relationships!
On a personal level, I completed my personal writing project, I hope to be able to embark on other projects. In a joyful, united radiance, sororates. Open up to discover new horizons, explore unknown lands, such as the hearts of humans?
And so,
