STANDING ROCK !
STAND STRONG LIKE A ROCK! Don’t focus on what’s ‘wrong’ with the world. When you fight against a broken world you become violent inside and you contribute to the conditions that created the violence you now witness. See the world as it is, the way an artist would see a face, with all its flaws, …

Je choisis de risquer …
