Bonjour le monde, me voici! / Hello world, here I am!
Voila. Les portes du monde se sont ouvertes. Ce moment qui semblait toujours m'echapper s'accomplit enfin.
Dans la foule de l'aeroport les visages amis disparaissent et je me dis :"you are on your own now - tu es toute seule a present". C'est effrayant et grisant tout a la fois. Feu dans mes jambes.
Tant de fois ai-je reve cet instant! J'imaginais la legerete soudain, de l'air sous mes pieds.
Dans la soiree j'arrive a Bombay. Tout me semble doucement exotique et cependant familier. Comme si c'etait ici que j'avais toujours appartenue : a la route. A l'etranger. A l'ailleurs.
Ni effrayee ni inquiete, mais attentive. Mais vivante.
There it is. The doors of the world are open. This moment that always seemed to flee away from me is finally coming to reality.
Friendly faces disapear in the airport crowd and I tell myself : "you are on your own now". It's frightening and intoxicating in the same time. Fire in my legs.
So many times have I dreamt about this instant! I was imagining the sudden lighteness, air under my feet.
In the night I arrive in Mumbay. Everything here feels sweetly exotic and yet familiar. As if all this time this is were I belonged : the road. Abroad. Everywhere else.
Not scared nor worried, but aware. Alive.
