Literary Contest Soon - Nature 2018-2019 - "The Nature of the Universe"
From space, the earth is a small point of blue light. We are a little big nothing, hope made alive. Of course most of us just had the chance to see this blue on television or computer screens ... or in a photograph in a book. There is, however, a strange emotion in the chest when we come across this image.
This state of mind does not bind us, however, and we are tempted to look around at the universe: at the deep unknown beyond our imagination, which imposes upon us, its colors, its chemistry, its laws of Physics, their lives.
This state of mind does not bind us, however, and we are tempted to look around at the universe: at the deep unknown beyond our imagination, which imposes upon us, its colors, its chemistry, its laws of Physics, their lives.
While our action on earth makes us think, given the reactions of nature in the form of floods, typhoons and huge forest fires, the universe remains a "land" of opportunities. Even literature seems to have an obligation not to repeat the mistakes of the past; everything should be better.
The nature of the universe serves as muse for this literary contest. And even a novel by Nicholas Sparks seems to be different if thought of in this immense and cosmic context. So impossible when a love said impossible, as impetuous as life in the middle of nowhere ...
It is in this context that, with great joy, we announce the beginning of the International Literature Contest "Nature 2018-2019", which this year runs from 15 October 2018 to 15 December 2018. On 1 February 2019 are announced the pre-finalists and on the 28 February 2019 the main winners.
Can poetry survive a universe that seems so contrary to life? What do we have to say about something that is still so unknown to us? Is there any connection, any comparison, that we can make with our terrestrial reality? How can science emerge in literature in our context? All this is a challenge and makes us think. Above all, it should be seen as an action of good mood and joy: an exercise of writing among friends.
It is time to act, to write, so here is also the invitation to participate in this contest and then the conditions of participation and other details.
Everyone is welcome.

March 2018 - Month of Flowers
March is the month of flowers, in the northern hemisphere, of the force of nature in always overcoming the challenges that the mineral world presents to you. The force of beauty to flood the fields, plains or mountains, valleys or land by the sea. We are all to be congratulated for seeing these colors emerge on the horizon and this is a source of joy for all who are born this month, including the author of this blog.
We see, then, astonished, the wild coloring exposed in the following video, by Thomas Blanchard, published on Valentine's Day, 2018.
"Dance Dance"
From an artistic point of view, the flowers are represented in the 4 seasons.
The fire for the fall, ice for the winter, fast hatching (timelapses) for the spring and color inks for the summer.
