I dare not count the hours but what a show when I arrive. A dazzling earth, a hot wind, a brightness to make you blind. I definitely left France. But where am I? Somewhere between light and dark yellow. A place on earth where the sun would be white, but of an immaculate whiteness in total contrast with a light troubled sky.<\/p>\n<p>The greenery is right in front of me. Scattered trees and shrubs, wrapped in a wispy veil, show me the way. I decide to walk towards them. Off I go. But the further I approach, the more they seem to retreat. Or is it an optical illusion? Again ? Seriously! Come on, in a few minutes, I&#8217;ll open my eyes and find myself in a blink of an eye lying in my bed or comfortably sitting in my sofa, my cat by my side. One, two, three &#8230; I&#8217;m still out there. It&#8217;s a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>One step at a time, slowly but surely, the distance narrows. Well, I do hope so.

I hardly touch the branches, the trunks. Their sweetness is surprising. They lay like an infinitely thin layer on my bare arms. It looks like gold dust. If I were in a story, I would say that a palace of a thousand and one nights is not far away and awaits me with all doors wide open. But no, I am in real life and I explore a unique place, weird, disturbing, attractive.<\/p>\n<p>A telephone rings. What&#8217;s going on ? My back pants pocket vibrates. No more doubt, it&#8217;s a phone. So I took it with me? Can I be reached here below?
