"Rien n'est vrai que ce qu'on ne dit pas."

After writing several letters in the last week or so, Im begining to believe that is true. Nothing is true except what isnt said. Thank you Jean Anouilh.

Why is it so easy to talk to people without saying anything? Why is it so hard to be real? I dont get it. I dont.
Pourquoi c'est toujours comme ça?

Because we are all by nature terribly terribly afraid, or else we have learned it. Humanity was deeply hurt by the fall. Much more deeply than we sometimes think.

Peut-être nous ne voudrions pas le penser, parceque la vérité (comme l'espérance...merci enfin M. Guillaume Apollinaire!) est toujours violente, et puis il pleure dans notre coeurs.

Well. In this short entry Im quite sure I have broken every french grammar rule in existance, so I must be off. Im making myself a cup of tea and the kettle is shreiking from the kitchen.

Despite my lack of french knowledge, that was quite enjoyable.

I totally agree that it's very hard to be real. Very, very hard. I figure it's just a matter of continuing to try. There are definitely going to be times when I fail and fail again, but I am still trying to be more real. I know you are too. :)

Have a wonderful evening. I hope your Riceroni turned out fabulously.
