The division of time is a human invention. Elusive and elusive, time seems to become a "real object" when it becomes seconds, minutes, months, years. Presented in the form of a character, as in this case the month of October, time suddenly appears to us in the familiar guise of our fellow human beings and of ourselves: it is therefore made of the same material as we are! It has its life, its activities, its habits, its tastes. And above all, it arranges the world according to seasonal rhythms and the higher laws of nature. The reader of this album discovers through the personification of time that it is not only a "dimension" in which life unfolds from one end to the other, as in a play, but that it belongs to us, that it is a component of our being in the same way as the cells of our body. Shown in action among us and in our image, October is our brother (it could also be January or July), and like him we are time. This is better, much better than having the illusion of mastering time.
