Enough has been said

« Enough had been thought, and said and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done ». (On avait assez pensé, et dit, et ressenti et imaginé. Il était temps de faire quelque chose) – C.S. Lewis, extrait de Surprised by Joy (1955)

Bien que ces mots aient été écrits dans un tout autre contexte — celui d’un cheminement spirituel personnel —, leur force et leur acuité m’ont profondément marquée. Détachée de leur origine autobiographique et transposée à notre présent troublé, cette phrase résonne, à mes yeux, comme un écho brutalement actuel face à la crise écologique que nous traversons.

J’ai donc décidé de m’en inspirer pour Enough has been said, qui est composée de 5 mouvements:
I. Penser
II. Dire
III. Ressentir
IV. Imaginer
V. Agir

« Enough had been thought, and said and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done ». – C.S. Lewis, excerpt of Surprised by Joy (1955)

Although these words were written in a very different context — that of a personal spiritual journey — their strength and clarity struck me deeply. Detached from their original autobiographical meaning and transposed to our troubled present, this sentence resonates, to me, as an urgently relevant echo of the ecological crisis we are now facing.

I therefore chose to take inspiration from it for Enough has been said, a piece composed in five movements:
I. Think
II. Say
III. Feel
IV. Imagine
V. Act
