SKELETON   KEY
		Back to "Tales" Contents Back to Home
	In this country where East and West meet, you're above everything - at least you could think so. Is there here any guru to be met ? But is this really necessary ? The incredible sound of the rivers bring enchantment. The sun can be hidden behind black clouds, the enchantment can't disappear owing to the rivers. But marvellous sceneries are only dead things. Is there any living being in such a land? Yes, the DOG is. What would be the world if the dogs wouldn't exist ? What would be mankind without dogs ? Dogs reconcile black and white, big and small, young and old, etc. Could mankind ever be so wise ? Dogs get on fine all together, no matter their colour, their height, their sex, their origins. Dogs scorn all kinds of border and don't tell them about nationality ! Dogs are full of the joys of spring with a mere trifle - may mankind follow their example ... Dogs generally play fair, although they are sometimes able to make a play for something they want, but is there any dog to play false the ones he loves ? Dogs are always trying hard to please their human family, slanderers could run them down as bootlickers, but is this anything else that simply love ?
			However, dogs seem to always be looking for something. How much time do they spend with their nose on the ground, sniffing and sniffing again, as if they were searching, searching and always searching ... ? What could they still seek, even though all their qualities make you think that dogs have been blessed by nature ? What could dogs be still searching even when they know and even own the wondrous wisdom in the wonderland of love ? So many questions remain ...  They have a shy at finding some replies ... Could they meet a birthstone laying on the ground ? Seek and you shall find ! Answers are hidden behind a few locked doors ... Don't dogs simply look for the skeleton key that could open each of them ? 01/04/07 Isabelle Coquinot
