The Day When... The Day She Gave Herself Time (Volume 9)

A "feel-good" comic book full of optimism!

Chantal no longer finds meaning in her work, she can no longer write. Supported by Clémentine and Simon, she will give herself time... time to live, to breathe, to experience new things.

Time to find herself, to nourish herself, to create. Time to be. Because, as a mysterious woman she met in the forest whispered to her: to do and to have, we must first Be...

📖 The opinion of the Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

By our editorial & librarian committee

Beka and Marko deliver with this ninth volume of Le Jour où... a profound meditation on time, being, and creativity. Published by Bamboo, this feel-good series continues to explore essential wisdom with a poetry that borders on philosophy and spirituality.

The strength of this volume lies in its exploration of the contemporary paradox: we chase after time when we must first give ourselves time to Be. Chantal, who no longer finds meaning in her work and can no longer write, embodies this creative and existential crisis that many go through. Her quest becomes a lesson in wisdom: "time to live, to breathe, to experience."

The mysterious woman encountered in the forest — an archetypal figure of the wise woman or spiritual guide — delivers an essential teaching: "to do and to have, we must first Be." This phrase evokes Eastern wisdoms and the philosophy of presence, reminding us that right action arises from being fully present.

We recommend this volume to creatives experiencing writer's block, spiritual seekers, and all those who feel the need to slow down to better find themselves. A comic book that encourages giving yourself permission to Be before doing.

Our rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A poetic meditation on time and being that touches the heart of wisdom.
