Haïti terre de couleurs, terre de douleurs.

Chacun y va de sa petite phrase, de son article, de son émotion qui, face à une telle avalanche de désastres, bouleverse et met en colère. Pourquoi un tel acharnement ? peut-on se demander. Certains veulent y trouver une raison rationnelle pour ce peuple courageux qui s’est battu pour accéder le premier à son indépendance. Alors comme un adolescent trop fougueux de se libérer des chaînes de son tuteur, ou comme un arbre vigoureux explose les liens qui le maintenaient enserré dans un carcan, il devrait payer et pendant encore combien de décennies ou de siècles, son insolence par les fureurs de la terre. Ce serait faire payer bien cher sa liberté à une population qui vit depuis si longtemps dans la misère.À chaque fois que l’on parle de ce pays, c’est pour parler de drames. Drames produits par les diverses dictatures, avec des noms qui font froid dans le dos, des noms qui pourraient représenter des personnages de contes pour enfants pas sages, et évocateurs de souffrances et de terreur. Les Papa doc et Tontons Macoute, puis Baby doc, quelle famille !Quant aux conditions de vie ? L’enfer dans un environnement qui pourrait ressembler au paradis. Des cyclones, des ouragans, des inondations ravageuses, entraînant la désolation, des pertes immenses, des destructions de cultures, et l’absence de nourritures de base, de produits pour se soigner, ce qu’on appelle la Misère. La Misère portant un M majuscule non pour ce qu’elle a de noble, mais pour ce qu’elle a de grand, voire d’extrême.Le nom de ce pays évoque toujours pour moi une amie qui y est partie il y a une vingtaine d’années. France Andrée avait choisi de consacrer sa vie à venir en aide aux enfants d’Haïti. Elle était d’une très grande sensibilité, d’une générosité d’elle-même, se sentant investie d’une mission d’aider les plus démunis dans le monde. Je l’enviais un peu à cette époque, me trouvant moi-même à un tournant important de ma vie.Ma carrière d’enseignante et le besoin d’élever mes deux enfants encore jeunes, ne m’avaient pas engagée à aller au-delà de cette idée. Cependant les années suivantes, j’avais envisagé de m’y rendre pendant la périodes de vacances d’été. Et puis j’ai perdu la trace de France, et les événements de la vie m’ont déviée de ce projet.En cette période si douloureuse comme à chaque fois que se produit de tels drames, chacun s’émeut, voit les images qui défilent sur les écrans de télévision, entend les commentaires répétitifs de journalistes qui veulent témoigner de ce qu’ils constatent sur place. Et cette fois c’en est trop. De partout dans le monde, chacun reste impuissant et ne peut que compatir dans un pays où l’état est devenu si fragile et si faible.Se sentir impuissant provoque un sentiment de culpabilité, tout comme ces victimes qui s’en sortent à côté d’autres personnes qui ont péri. Comme le dit Dany Laferrière, Haïti et sa population n’ont rien à payer. Ils ne sont que les malheureuses victimes des fureurs de la nature. Et moi je pense à France... et à tous ceux qu’elle côtoie et aide depuis vingt ans.Gisèle Meunier Écrivaine http://www.gisele-meunier.com Ozoir la Ferrière 16 janvier 2010

Un autre site de don pour Haiti

Bonjour à tous,Je reproduis ici-bas un texte que je viens de rédiger sur le site de l'organisation Mercy Corps où j’ai construit une page de collecte de fonds consacrée aux travaux humanitaires en Haïti. Vous trouverez ensuite un lien direct au site de don. Je vous remercie d’avance pour votre soutien. - Ernest BARTHELEMY"Aidez-moi à collecter des fonds pour appuyer la réponse de l’équipe d’urgences de Mercy Corps à la secousse en HaïtiJe suis le premier américain né au sein d’une famille haïtienne – mes deux parents sont nés à Grand-Goâve, Haïti. Le désastre naturel décrit ici-bas a touché ma famille et nos amis de manière dévastatrice – nous avons confirmé le décès d’une parente bien-aimée, et nous craignons les nouvelles à venir. S’il vous plaît, veuillez démontrer votre appui et votre solidarité en faisant don à ce projet de MercyCorps afin que notre cher pays se remette de ce cauchemar aux proportions épiques, et que nous insufflions la vie à un Haïti qui verra un jour plus lumineux.-Une secousse, de magnitude 7, la plus forte en Haïti pays depuis plus de deux siècles, a frappé le pays près de la capitale, Port-au-Prince, laissant derrière elle d'innombrables cadavres et faisant craindre un bilan humain terrifiant. Au milieu d’une interruption des communications en provenance de la zone, la situation reste précaire – pourtant la poursuite des secousses secondaires ainsi que de témoignages des témoins oculaires qualifiant la situation de « désastre total » et chaos, laisse redouter que des dégâts inimaginables et d’innombrables victimes se répandent partout.-MercyCorps est en train de déployer une équipe d’urgences afin d’aider les survivants.

Le secret de la vie.

On me demande souvent ce qui me retient à New York...

Times Square!

Le secret de cette ville qui ne dort jamais, est sa créativité et sa résilience. Rien n'est jamais fixé pour toujours. Tout se transforme. On se fait de nouveaux amis, on découvre de nouveaux restos, on s’étonne toujours de quelque chose.

Ici, un étranger qui vous parle dans la rue est tout à fait normal. Ou dans le bus. La multiplication des informations et réseaux sociaux tisse une chaine de conséquences et de relation interpersonnelles sans fins. Mon android me tient au courant de ce qui se passe en France, au Brésil, en Espagne! Mon trajet de 1 heure au travail est jonché de ce sens et chargé de cette signification affective. Je suis assise dans le bus entre le New Jerseyet New York, mais mon âme voyage entre la rive gauche et la rive droite de Paris...

Nous avons changé notre rapport à l'espace et au temps, nous avons changé nos connections émotionnelles et avons redirigé notre attention.

Le secret de la vie: la Créativité!

Au commencement du Monde, Dieu créa le monde. Il s'arrêta pour penser que cela était bon. Nous sommes à notre tour dans un univers perpétuel de création d'idées, d'émotions et de souvenirs. Le cœur qui bat ne s'arrête que lorsqu'il lui faut s'éteindre et même dès lors, il restera dans la mémoire de ses êtres aimés. De même, Dieu est éternel et perpétuel. Il est la vie pure et vraie qui renferme le secret de son existence.

 

Il s'agit de trouver ce qui peut continuer de mouvoir notre âme. Il s'agit de ne jamais s'arrêter: découvrir, lire, apprendre, créer, continuer le battement de cœur et le secret de soi.

The beautiful American ?

To his amazement, distinguished British author, Geoff Dyer, recently discovered that American were not just crazy gun nuts. They are, he writes in a dazed NYT article, "friendly, hospitable and polite".Who knew?After twenty-five years in France, which I adore, I must admit that I too am occasionally struck by the American genius for disarming charm.On a recent family trip to Arizona, I had to take my daughter to the Department of Motor Vehicles. (You know pleasant that is in Paris.) A formidable-looking fonctionnaire woman behind the gigantic counter handed my daughter a form to fill out. She messed it up, and, trembling, returned to the counter to ask for another.The formidable woman fonctionnaire looked at my daughter."Eve," she said to her, "*W,hy that's a pretty name."My daughter nodded mutely."You know," the lady said, "There's a song with 'Eve' in it."And before Eve could say "It's not my fault!" (c'est pas de ma faute) the state employee burst into song."Eeeevee!" she warbled, "Eeeevee."We stood, feeling strangely French, astonished.When she had finished, the lady leaned forward across the counter. "You have a good day now," she winked."Maman," my daughter whispered to me as we left a little later, business successfully concluded, "no official in France would serenade me like that!"And I thought: how wonderful, this small and seemingly silly kindness to put a nervous girl at ease.Happy New Year!!Laurel Zuckermanhttp://www.laurelzuckerman.com/2010/01/brit-discovers-three-nice-things-about-americans-as-2010-begins-.htmlfor more, see the blog

Amuse-Bouche No. 18: Getting the etiquetteby Julia Frey(julia.frey@aya.yale.edu)Foot-in mouth disease is rampant, even among the FrenchAt a multilingual dîner en ville (dinner of powerful people), the pretty daughter of American personnalités (VIPs), in Paris to learn French, provoked well-bred amusement by mixing up j’ai chaud (I’m hot = too warm) with je suis chaude (I’m hot = aroused). The notables taught her a new expression: mettre les pieds dans le plat , which you'd think means to put your feet in the platter, i.e., your foot in your mouth, but doesn't. It means to step into the mud (plat as in mud-flat), i.e. to put your foot in "it" and we all know what "it" is. The meaning is to blunder into an uncomfortable situation, and then to keep on talking, which just makes things worse.Linguistic etiquette varies dramatically from country to country. You really need un informateur autochtone (native informant). And the right informateur. Pity the poor German au pair whose 10-year-old charge told her to refuse second helpings by saying politely, “Non, merci, j’en ai marre” (I’m sick of it).Savoir-vivre (good manners) translates “to know how to live.” A gentleman is never unintentionally impolite. Étiquette (which also means label) is savoir-vivre in spades. It originally referred to labels that formalized protocol in the royal court. Chantal, who directs stages d’entreprise (training programs), teaches young cadres (executives) the nuances of professional behavior. She regaled the table with stories of gaffes, beginning with the impair (maladresse choquante) committed by a New York trainee. He hopped into a Paris taxi, yelling approximately, “Follow that car!” The driver turned around and, eyeing him calmly, announced, “Monsieur, en France nous disons d’abord (first), ‘Bonjour, Monsieur.’ ” Never simply launch into an interaction. Getting on the bus, including in Paris, it’s customary to greet the bus driver. Even to a stranger on the street, always begin with “Bonjour (or Pardon), Madame.”Chantal once watched a French stagiaire (intern) unintentionally betray his humble origins by beginning a presentation with the formule populaire (working-class expression): “Bonjour, Messieurs, Dames !” He didn’t get the job. What you say is “Bonjour mesdames, bonjour messieurs.” Job candidates also miss getting hired by opening an interview with “Bonjour, Monsieur (or Madame) Dupont” or heading a letter Monsieur Dupont instead of just Monsieur. Traditionally only a commerçant (shopkeeper) or un employé (employee without management status) takes a deferential position by mentioning someone’s nom de famille. If you want to become a patron (boss) you need to speak as equals. That’s “Bonjour, Monsieur.”But Americans consider it rude not to call people by name—a habit that’s hard to break. To get around it, Chantal suggests “Monsieur Dupont ! Bonjour Monsieur ! ” On the phone, use an interrogative intonation: “Monsieur Dupont ? Bonjour Monsieur !”Speaking of phones, she noted that her French students have problems stating their own names. Sometimes she spends an entire day convincing them that in large corporations, giving one’s name is considered indispensable professional courtesy. Unless it’s essential to the transaction, the French think identifying oneself sounds pretentious. Or maybe they hope anonymity reduces the risk of blame.… Twenty years ago, post-office employees threatened to strike if they were forced to wear name tags!But even introducing yourself gets complicated. I can’t say “C’est Madame Frey,” because, grammatically speaking, I’m not ma dame (my lady). But am I sa (his) dame ? Best to avoid the whole problem. I learned to announce, “C’est Julia Frey à l’appareil” (literally: on the apparatus). For years the French considered the telephone exotic, practically a military secret. They still speak into l’appareil (device), or le combiné, because in 1905, you cranked up a complicated combiné microphone-récepteur.Even more peculiar was answering the phone and hearing immediately “Qui est à l’appareil ?” That cracked me up. After all, they were calling me! Now callers say, “Ici Martin Dupont.” If referred by someone else, they may explain, “Mon nom ne vous dira rien, mais je viens de la part de Monsieur Untel.…” (My name won’t mean anything to you, but Mr. So-and-so recommended I call). Answering an office phone, announce “Martin Dupont, bonjour ! ” At home, simply say “Allô ? ”A modern etiquette book that takes on the complexities of le courriel (also called e-mail and mél), les portables (cell phones, not laptops), and Internet still insists on l’élégance du langage. It lists expressions to avoid because they make you sound commun (common, uneducated). “You’re welcome,” is never de rien (no problem). Say “je vous en prie” (“I beg you”—the pronoun en replaces “not to mention it”). If you hear “je m’excuse” (I excuse myself) instead of “excusez-moi,” it’s because the speaker ain’t bin larned no grammer. Saying goodnight, Chantal reminds her foreign guests that it’s vulgar to say au plaisir, to the pleasure (of seeing you again). Au revoir is perfectly adequate.© Julia Nolet 2010
