Details

- Obviously no one has ever seen the reality of such a picture : it NE-VER happens.

- After the Booted Cat, the Booted Rabbit (or Pooted), unaware, hands in his pockets, one ear facing front one facing back, whistling. He has a revealing role. His passage reveals what we really think.

- There are a lot of revealing agents along our way. We are also revealing agents for others, without necessarily knowing.

Questions

- The words "I will bless those who bless you" are words from God adressed to Abraham. At that moment, he doesn't really know God.  

- God's blessing passes through mediations, mediators.

- Today, I have the power to bless (to say nice things or to wish them). Blessing is easy when the sun is shining, when all is well, when I am loved.

- Maybe I believe that the blessing is a consequence of all these causes if they are all happening (all is well so I'm blessing). It's quite the opposite : if I bless, then all may be better. Carfeul, there's no magic. It's only because we decide to put ourselves in a situation where we're not at the centre of ourselves.
