Indeed, elves exista€¦ At Marraine Zulma, you can meet them in the form of golden buds, daisies, water lilies, roses, lavender flowers and peoniesa€¦ As we are drunk with pearls of water, they lull us to sleep with their sweet-sounding murmuring springs. Depending on the season, you can refresh yourself on orchard appels, red berries, raspberries or hazel nuts. Which sweet, peaceful haven offers this house, where you will rejoice the temptations of artists and the delicious masterpieces of the owners. At Wellin, a splendid gem in a shrine of nurturing naturea€¦ It would be better if we selfishly cherish this address for ourselves! The other night, after a day dedicated to renewing my body battered by the emanation of a strong and pure alcohol, the other night, I said, I met a sage from paradise, lost on earth, as so many magicians that slightly lose their heads when realizing all the good times men and women spend up there. (A band of envious ones, they are!) The other night, I say again, I meet this sage from paradise that accosts me with a face of a disappointed angel. He: a€˜Well, havena€™t you got something to say to me?a€™ (spoken with the inimitable accent of the governors of heaven and earth.) Me: (surprised by the frankness of the apparition and by nature a stammerer) a€˜Eh, well indeed (I say), you should have thought about filling the streets of this earthly life with hundreds of JPs and hundred of BA©as. No longer would traffic lights and other one-way things obstruct the natural effect of communication between men. Slightly embarrassed for having spoken with eyes cast down (I was too blinded by his halo), I raised my head, shyly, but he was gone, probably dissolved by the tune that played in my head. But perhaps he was gone to convince the celestial powers to be about the well-founded nature of my declaration. You cana€™t be serious, I told myself, as if it would have taken ten thousands of year to observe the improvement of the matter.But I, since then and at last, know where you are. Marraine Zulma? She is not someone to talk about, one can only meet hera€¦ She lives in a shrine of friendship. Perhaps you hesitate to go there, because the a€˜differencea€™ is a exception that provokes fear. Marraine sometimes confuses thingsa€¦ like your certainties and convictions, and that leads to the rediscovery of the unexpected. Everything has a soul. Even the silence feels at home and teaches you eloquence. Arta€¦ music, painting, they never are artificial, but always their truth will open your eyes. A spontaneous truth, not hardened by self-interest.Marraine Zulma, no less that this! Opening the doora€¦ and understanding that simultaneously another door is opened, the one in your hearta€¦ A special warmtha€¦ the one of a frying pan? No. Something else makes the difference, a indefinable perfume. Thata€™s the reason why one should search his soul also, to give the image all its glory! Taking the risk of being only oneself, ita€™s possible, at Marraine Zulma. But the most beautiful gift is the love that surrounds Jean-Pierre and BA©atrice. The rest is but stardust that falls around.
