Keeping joy deep in ourselves, scraps of paper by Maud Tardieu about young Patrice Tardieu.

Two more scraps of paper rediscovered, written by Maud Tardieu about young Patrice Tardieu:

«　To have a child, is to live again your youth which is only a transparent line in the space time　».

«　I have a thought flashing through my mind,

I see myself running madly with a very young Patrice.

Keeping joy

Deep in ourselves.

The amazing, is your child

And never again are you useless.

You love, you give, you chase the future,

Something indestructible stays in yourself,

Even with time it does not worn away.　»

Maud Tardieu

Translated from the French by Patrice Tardieu, her son.
