goodbye Deleilan...

Lately, I have become increasingly impatient with the sheer complicatedness of the world around me. I crave simplicity, quietness, genuineness. Little by little, I am banishing what seems superfluous or causes me unnecessary irritation, and thus far have made considerable progress. It therefore made perfect sense when, on the eve of moving to a new apartment, I found myself itching for a fresh start.

The time has now come to leave behind the pseudonym I adopted years ago (as a defense against being "found out") and to start afresh on a new blog. I will be writing there under my real name, in French as well as in English, about simple things, what I love, and what is important to me.

(I have not yet decided what to do about my Twitter account, though I must admit to feeling a growing degree of annoyance with the medium.)

So, dear readers, please update your links, bookmarks and RSS readers as you wave Deleilan goodbye!
