Life by any means
Tho not at any price,
Thus seizing hope
To live a slower life,
Time hasn’t yet stole,
Believing we can cope
Years of certain toll,
Life will find extort
As barter for a soul,
If to extend one’s life
And render it near whole!
Poetry on a canapé
A journey through Jean-Jacques Fournier's poetry
Poetry on a canapé 
Well said!! We want a long life, but do not treasure the moments that we have. “to live a slower life.” Ah, that is the best way to give meaning to our existence and to give breadth and depth to living. Wonderful!!!
Yes Rebecca, now for finding the wisdom and that magical formula that allows for they who see the light of accepting the joy and pleasure of savouring the taste of truly living life. Thus so akin to savouring a great wine, as in “déguster un grand vin”, or gastronomical meal, “la gastronomie” both of which cannot be rushed to truly appreciate its raison d’être, as in to live a slower life. Jean-Jacques
Brilliant to discern any means from any prices. What is living to loose one’s soul.
Thank you for that Paulette, and amen for they who follow the word of prophets and their propagators… and bravo for they who see the light on their own, worthy and wise volition! Jean-Jacques Fournier
