I dream of putting the world on pause
*I dream of putting the world on pause*
*Stop trying to save time*
*What's the point of clawing back minutes and seconds*
*Work more, earn more, consume more?*
*At this pace, our mad rush is already lost*
*Strains, tears, vital prognosis*
*It's time to accept the loss*
*I dream of suspending the clocks, emptying the diaries*
*Freeing our minds from the incessant weight of haste*
*Let's rediscover the tempo of walking or cycling*
*Let's listen to our heartbeat as it speeds up uphill*
*Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out, recuperate*
*Please, let time slip away*
*The verb "to marvel" is so beautiful, conjugated in the present tense*
*I dream of letting the wind carry us*
*Leading us along hollow, dark or side roads*
*Forgetting the destination, letting ourselves drift*
*"Itinérer", "errancer", "flânerêver"... there are so many words to be invented*
*Let's revisit the etymology of our Odysseys*
*The future will either be simple or it won't be*
*Let's learn to unburden ourselves*
*I dream of putting the world on pause*
*Of seeing screens go blank and utopias come alive*
*Meet the men and women who take other roads*
*Invent epics, where no one is left behind*
*Let's contemplate the ordinary, and let ourselves be surprised*
*Let's redraw the voyage of simplicity*
*We must accept to lose ourselves in order to better find ourselves.*
