The vertical of the cry by Gaston-Paul Effa

The Vertical of the Scream"From today on, you will no longer be able to destroy nature without destroying yourself. The slightest insect that you crush under your feet will remind you that you are perhaps crushing a friend, a father, a mother, a wife, a child who left early and that you were still crying... You will learn to listen, to look. And by dint of listening and looking, you will end up seeing and hearing. You will have changed your life. You will have earned your living. The rest matters little." This story was born from an extraordinary encounter between a writer and a pygmy fetishist. In the soul of darkness, in the heart of the tropical forest, a dialogue will be born where the body and the mind leave their separate domains to merge together. From encounter to encounter, the path of initiation is cleared which opens at each step initially invisible relationships between things, thoughts and moments of life. An invitation to listen to nature, to unite with the cosmos, to suspend reason to relearn how to live.
