Timeless (21) Fugitive thought. Snowdrops in winter.

Over our heads, above our minds from all of the corners sharply, from height, the clouds can come to scatter the dark, to scatter the night. What brave heart!

"Over our heads, above our minds
from all of the corners sharply, from height,
the clouds can come to scatter the dark,
to scatter the night. What brave heart!

"Remember. Keep it gently. Keep it close!"
He whispered with a softly voice.
"Close to your soul, near to your heart".
Melancholy. Heavy thrills on the path.

Under blue dark skies, emotions are deep;
"Rains can come so suddenly"!
At dawn, when sun is apparently bright,
The clouds are gathering all over around.

"You must look inside, you know" ...
Into your soul, without second thought in mind.
"Are in there fluffy white clouds, white enough,
To scatter the shadows, to scatter the dark"?

Drumul nebătut 
de Robert Frost

"Două drumuri mi se arătară în pădurea aurie
Şi tare regretam că-mi fusese dat tocmai mie să aleg.
Călător fiind, am stat acolo îndelung
Şi am privit departe pe cel ce dădea într-un crâng
Iar copacii îmi părură dintr-odată întinşi la pământ.

După ce am apucat-o pe celălalt drum
Crezând că poate am ales mai bine acum
Căci parcă avea mai multă iarbă
Mi-am spus repede, în barbă,
Că sunt cam la fel.

În acea dimineată
Ńu semănau atât de mult.
Frunzele nu fuseseră călcate de demult
Oh, am pornit-o pe cel dintâi şi a doua zi
Deşi ştiam exact unde mă voi opri.
Şi atunci m-am îndoit de el.

Vă spun toate acestea cu un oftat,
S-a întâmplat cândva, pe înnoptat,
În pădure două drumuri am văzut
L-am apucat pe cel mai putin bătut
Şi asta a contat."


The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Wikipedia: "Ghiocelul (Galanthus L.; din limba greaca: gala - lapte, anthos - floare) este un gen de plante bulboase din familia Amaryllidaceae, plante care înfloresc printre primele la începutul primăverii.  Cel mai reprezentativ membru al genului Galanthus este Ghiocelul comun (Galanthus nivalis).  Ghioceii nu trebuie confundaţi cu 2 plante asemănătoare, luşca (Leucojum vernum) şi ghiocelul bogat (Leucojum aestivium); acestea sunt mult mai mari şi au toate cele şase petale de aceeaşi mărime, deşi unele specii de Galanthus au segmentele interioare de aceeaşi mărime cu cele exterioare."
"Galanthus (snowdrop; Greek gála "milk", ánthos "flower") is a small genus of about 20 species of bulbous perennial herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. Most flower in winter, before the vernal equinox (20 or 21 March in the Northern Hemisphere), but certain species flower in early spring and late autumn." 
"Galanthus nivalis, the snowdrop or common snowdrop, is the best-known and most widespread of the 20 species in its genus, Galanthus. Snowdrops are among the first bulbs to bloom in spring and can form impressive carpets of white in areas where they are native or have been naturalised. They should not be confused with the snowflakes, in the genera Leucojum and Acis."
Naming
"The generic name Galanthus, from the Greek gala (milk) and anthos (flower), was given to the genus by Carl Linnaeus in 1735. He described Galanthus nivalis in his Species Plantarum published in 1753. The epithet nivalis means "of the snow", referring either to the snow-like flower or the plant's early flowering. 
The common name snowdrop first appeared in the 1633 edition of John Gerard's Great Herbal (in the first edition (1597) he described it as the "Timely flowring Bulbus violet"). The derivation of the name is uncertain, although it may have come from the German word Schneetropfen, which was a type of earring popular around that time. Other British traditional common names include "February fairmaids", "dingle-dangle", "Candlemas bells", "Mary's tapers" and, in parts of Yorkshire, "snow piercers" (like the French name perce-neige)."

Distribution and habitat.
"The genus Galanthus is native to Europe and the Middle East, from Spain, France and Germany in the west through to Iran in the east. It has become naturalized in other parts of Europe (Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands) as well as in eastern Canada and the United States."
"Galanthus nivalis is the best-known and most widespread representative of the genus Galanthus. It is native to a large area of Europe, stretching from the Pyrenees in the west, through France and Germany to Poland in the north, Italy, Northern Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and European Turkey. It has been introduced and is widely naturalised elsewhere." Click to read more on Wikipedia

One picture or more... From time to time.(7) "Hibernal". February in mind.

"February  is the second month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is the shortest month and the only month with fewer than 30 days. The month has 28 days in common years or 29 days in leap years. February is the third month of meteorological winter in the Northern Hemisphere." "The Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. They were added by Numa Pompilius about 713 BC. February remained the last month of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC), when it became the second month." More info on Wikipedia

"Sometimes… From a word, You can create a thought. Sometimes from a thought, You can create in word."

„Uneori…
Dintr-un cuvânt,
poţi crea un gând.
Uneori dintr-un gând,
poţi crea-n cuvânt.
Si uite așa ia avânt,
Firul visului etern,
Uneori prea latent.
Efemer…
Dintr-un gând,
poţi crea un cuvânt,
Inspirat, creionat,
Subliniat, de împrumutat.
Gând de dat,
Uneori, efemer
Sau stingher.
Așezat între A și Z.
Ca literele în alfabet.
Ca urmare, uneori,
Când suntem doar noi,
Dă-mi un semn,
De cuvânt stingher
Deloc efemer.
Să-l port în gând
Așezat între A și Z
Ca literele în alfabet.
La mijloc de cord
Ca un acord.”

Acord între cuvânt și gând. A.T.

"Thought to be given as a gift, Sometimes ephemeral Or in loneliness. Placed between A and Z. Like the letters in the alphabet."

"Sometimes…
From a word,
You can create a thought.
Sometimes from a thought,
You can create in word.
And so is gaining as a momentum,
A thread of eternal dream,
Sometimes too latent.
Ephemeral…

Suddenly from a thought,
You can create a word,
Inspired; like a sketch.
Underlined; or borrowed.
Thought to be given as a gift,
Sometimes ephemeral
Or in loneliness.
Placed between A and Z.
Like the letters in the alphabet.

As a result, at times,
When it's about just us,
Give me a sign,
A shy word
Not at all ephemeral.
To wear it, in mind,
Placed between A and Z
Like letters in the alphabet.
At the middle of heart
As an agreement. "

Agreement between word and thought. By AlexaT.

"Este cea mai scurtă lună, ce are 28 de zile. Odată la 4 ani se adaugă o zi lunii februarie, aceşti ani numindu-se "ani bisecţi", 2016 fiind un an bisect. Februarie este ultima lună adăugată calendarului gregorian, în anul 450 î.e.n. de către Numa Pompilius. Înainte de acest an, romanii considerau iarna un anotimp fără luni.

"Singura planetă vizibilă mai devreme în noapte este Jupiter, care răsare la ora 21 la începutul lui februarie și la ora 19 la sfrârșitul lunii. O puteți vedea la o oră-două după răsăritul ei, înspre est. Jupiter ar trebui să se vadă ca un astru foarte strălucitor (cel mai strălucitor din zonă) care nu pâlpâie.




Dacă nu vă descurcați așteptați serile când Luna se va afla în zonă și folosiți-o ca să găsiți planeta. În serile de 22 februarie Jupiter se va afla în stânga Lunii, pe 23 tot în stânga dar mai aproape, iar pe 24 februarie în dreapta ei." 

Numele lunii vine de la ritualul roman de purificare ce se numea "Februa". În tradiția noastră populară, luna februarie se numeste Făurar. "Sursa: Observatorul Astronomic
