SPEICHER XI is a historic warehouse which was built in 1911/12 within the Bremen freeport. Primary the warehouse was used for storage of imported cotton. Today it's the home of a harbour museum and the University Of Arts Bremen.
Xi Lun and her sister, Ya Lun, were born on September 3. Although the public has finally been allowed to see them this week; mom, Lun Lun, has not brought them out very much. She carried Xi Lun out and placed her in the tub for a while this afternoon. Unfortunately, Xi Lun promptly fell asleep and was hidden from view behind a log. Picture quality is poor due to glare and the sun shining directly on my lens. Hope to do better next time!

This woman's name was Xi (希), which means "Hope" in Chinese and is used as a female name. Xi Wang (希望) is, on the contrary, the literal translation of the word hope, but it is less common as a female name and less frequently used as a traditional given name. In Slavic languages, Nadezhda has the same meaning, but the shortened form Nadia is used as a female name. Nadia is one of the most emblematic and widely used names in Eastern European countries. It literally means "Hope." And Nadia is the title of a little-known song by Jeff Beck. And so we come full circle. Xi... Nadia... Esperanza...

All we have in life is time. We don't know how much, exactly, but we can decide what to invest it in. And that choice builds the pillars of our existence. However, if we give ourselves the necessary space to listen to each other, we will be able to evaluate and modify the results we are obtaining. This exercise in honesty is the first step to stop doing and start being. Ultimately, well-being is not related to what we do, but to what we are, and our ability to live in coherence with ourselves. Hence the importance of taking advantage of the opportunity for reflection that hammock syndrome offers us.

« J’ai pris la position du dormeur
et j’ai dormi
Évanouies l’exacte souffrance
l’anodine impuissance
Et maintenant l’automne me prodigue
l’infinie douceur de ses lumières dernières
ses fumées si peu indéchiffrables…
Un rouge-gorge rivalise avec le couchant
je me sens plein d’indulgence
pour les autos. »

« N’ayons pas peur surtout, chère Selma, chère Angélique : faisons confiance à la peur. À l’inhibition de tout un chacun. La sensation la mieux partagée du monde. Au réflexe automatique de repli devant toute menace de liberté, d’autonomie. » (P.M.)

The Hui are a Sunni Muslim minority in China, many of whom live in the Beiyuanmen neighborhood inside the Xi'an City Wall in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. I photographed this Hui woman cooking halal food at her food stall on Beiyuanmen Islamic Street, a popular attraction in the neighborhood.
