Drifting, skype to Vosves where Mother, Pascale and Anna are. I tell them about yesterday afternoon, the blue sky, the people, Taos ... go to get the printer that has arrived, plug it in, "surf" the internet, walk to the library, wrong street, get lost, find myself in the university library, enter, ask where is the municipal library. A charming student, smiling, Indian, rises, tall and very handsome, goes outside to show me the road, explaining as if he had all the time in the world. Nice moment. Arriving on the plaza we meet again, big smile and a small wave.Dinner with the other residents. Pamela tells us about her life between Canada and the United States and how in deciding, somewhat by chance, to change universities, she finds herself at age 20, not yet sure of her vocation, in one of the most distinguished universities in the United States taking a course by a painter from New York who tells her that if there is an artist there, it is she. Decisive words.Carolyn performs the beginning of one of her plays for us. It is about love, and she evokes the notion of "never enough”, which DH Lawrence speaks about in the book I am reading and how one should end what is no longer desire but only unfullfillable passion by facing it alone. Suffocating the other's desire, the best way to burn love to ashes.While talking of tragic destinies either of lesbians or of women who refused their status of woman, her plays are essentially about loving relationships. And in her plays they appear to be the same for all.How passion, love, friendship, affection evolve and endure and how integrity or lack of integrity, tolerance, jealousy, deceit, the possibility or impossibility of fidelity, betrayal, the power of one over the other or the desire for equality will affect the relationship. All this takes place against a background of intolerance that has excluded this group, in the same way as other minorities.Next George reads us the story of his wait at the bus stop in which a young girl arrives, sits next to him and launches into an endless monologue. It begins with:- "You should know that here the bus is very unreliable"- "Oh I've noticed" he said.- "Yes, I who lives only a quarter of an hour’s drive away, I plan at least one hour when I have an appointment."Then she plunges directly into the story of her running away at 3 years old, ... her disappearance again at 10 ... and her street life starting at 12 years, and ... yes ... now I am finishing my nursing course because " at 14 years old I was saved by a wonderful woman ... but I do not even know what I will do with this course. Nursing is not for me, my cell phone is ringing... “Oh, excuse me. Hello, where are you ? Yes okay ... etc ... "George hadn’t been able to get in a single word. The bus arrives.- "Goodbye."She does not answer.
