Le Griot II

Le Griot II, pastel painting, 50x40 cm. Sourcerer- psychologist- shaman-
counselor in Africa.

Javier Reverte, Spanish writer of "Dream of Africa " says: "Traveling is not a compulsive search for something imagined, it's not pursuing something one wants to see, closing our eyes to everything else. It's not a sport made for those sure of who they are, what they want, and where they are going. Just one question can justify a great trip, and the trip is made for those who don't know very well where they are going nor do they know what are they looking for. Trips are made for those who intuitively know that finding is not the important thing, and that fulfilling a dream may mean smashing your face against adventure. It's true we always come back, but we shouldn't travel expecting to return. Traveling has something of a birth."
Javier Reverte, escritor espanol de "El Sueno de Africa", dice alli: "Viajar no es un empeno en busca de lo imaginado, no es la persecucion de algo que uno quiere ver, cerrando los ojos a todo lo demas. No es un deporte hecho para los que estan seguros de lo que son, que quieren y adonde van. Una sola pregunta puede justificar un gran viaje y el viaje esta hecho para aquellos que no saben muy bien hacia donde se dirigen ni conocen con exactitud lo que buscan. Esta hecho para los que intuyen que encontrar no es lo importante y que cumplir un sueno puede ser, sobre todo, darse de bruces con la aventura. Es cierto que regresamos siempre, pero no debe viajarse con la intencion de hacerlo. Viajar tiene algo de nacimiento."
