The Colors of silence.... |
 |
Under the surface, among the gorgonias
and coral, big groupers, escorted by "corbs", "dentis"
or by "sars tambours" await you. You will feel like
you are in a three-dimensional movie, while you enjoy a quiet
which would be hardly accessible elsewhere.
No need to lure them to meet them.
Better than the temple's guardians, they will be really the guides
of your most beautiful divings.
Leave for a few moments a world that you know only too well,
to apprehend an other one that you do not know enough, and which
is nevertheless so near, and from where we all are born of.
Maybe you will keep in a comer of your mind and of your heart,
a respectful impression of the littoral environment.
