Pour Florine, qui traverse apparemment une période difficile, et tous ceux qui sont frappés de près ou de loin par la vie:
"He said his life is like standing on a rolling ship. You’re going to slip. You’re going to grab onto things. You’re going to fall. And it’s a constant challenge to get up and push yourself to keep going. But in the end, he said, the most exhilarating feeling in the world is getting up and moving forward with a smile."
Ma traduction qui j'espère lui fait justice:
"Il disait que sa vie était comme se tenir debout sur un navire à la dérive. "Tu vas glisser. Tu vas t'attacher aux choses. Tu vas tomber. Et c'est un challenge perpétuel de se relever et de se forcer à aller de l'avant. Mais au final, disait-il, le sentiment le plus réjouissant au monde est de se relever et de continuer à avancer avec le sourire au bord des lèvres"".
(Richard Cohen is the author of Blindsided: Lifting a Life Above Illness, and he lives a life defined by illness. He has multiple sclerosis, is legally blind, has almost no voice, and suffers chronic pain that makes sleeping difficult and leaves him constantly exhausted. Two bouts of colon cancer in the past five years have left his intestines in disar . And though he is currently cancer-free, he still lives with constant discomfort.)
