"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.*"

I enjoy travelling and documenting to find out new & old things, to see world and people with one drop of positive attitude... from a huge sense of wonder... But before all, it was William Blake who beautifully said it: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (...) Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence". Also, "It’s never too late (...) to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." excerpt by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Timeless (29) Floral portrait in june. "Endless vernal time with everlasting blooms"...

Floral portrait in June. New blooms of Red Hibiscus. "Hibiscus (/hᵻˈbɪskəs/ or /haɪˈbɪskəs/) is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, containing several hundred species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known simply as hibiscus, or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word ἱβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) gave to Althaea officinalis." more info on Wikipedia.

Summer chorale. It seems,

A vernal time there is,

And summer dreams.

Endless fresh blossoms,

Everlasting green leaves,

Birds in the trees.

On a warm breeze,

With some notes or songs,

Admiring nature, bliss...

A fairy tale on short.

Of course, It's what

I've heard.

And perhaps there is,

A vernal time like this,

With everlasting blooms

And green leaves.

It seems there is.

Repetitive.

Sakura in April

"A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら)." "The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short." Source Internet/Wikipedia

Soul journeys through memories. (5) De-a lungul Dunării. Along Danube.

"Names and etymology"* "The Latin name Dānuvius is one of a number of "Old European" river names derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dānu. Other river names from the same root include the Don, Donets, Dzvina/Duna, Dysna, Dnieper and Dniestr. (...) "The Latin name is masculine (as is the name of the Rhine). German Donau (Early Modern German Donaw, Tonaw, Middle High German Tuonowe) is feminine, as it has been re-interpreted as containing the suffix -ouwe "wetland". The modern languages spoken in the Danube basin all use names derived from Dānuvius: German: Donau ([ˈdoːnaʊ̯]; Bavarian: Doana; Yiddish: Duney דוניי‎ [dʊnɛj]); Silesian: Důnaj; Upper Sorbian: Dunaj; Slovak: Dunaj ([ˈdunaj]); Hungarian: Duna ([ˈdunɒ]); Croatian: Dunav ([dǔnaʋ]; Serbian: Dunav / Дунав ([dǔnaʋ] or [dǔnaːʋ]); Romanian: Dunărea ([ˈdunəre̯a]); Romani: Dunaja ([ˈdunaja]); Bulgarian: Дунав Dunav ([ˈdunɐf]); Ukrainian: Дунай Dunai ([duˈnɑj])."Source Wikipedia

De gustibus non est disputandum

"De gustibus non est disputandum is a Latin maxim meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally, "There must not be debate concerning tastes").

Sometimes the phrase is expanded as De gustibus et coloribus... referring to tastes and colors.

The implication is that everyone's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that cannot be "right" or "wrong", so they should never be argued about as if they were.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia De gustibus non est disputandum

Ziua Pământului/ Earth Day ... "Let's celebrate it in every day!"

"The Black Sea* is a sea in Southeastern Europe. It is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas and various straits. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch." *click for more info on Wikipedia.

On short... Signs of Spring (I)

"Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Ascultă, să-nveţi să vorbeşti, Priveşte, să-nveţi să clădeşti, Şi taci, să-nţelegi ce să faci... Ascultă, priveşte şi taci" (...) Când braţele-ncep să te doară, De teamă să nu-mbătrâneşti, Rămâi tot cel care eşti – Aceeaşi piatră de moară – Când braţele-ncep să te doară!... Iar când, cu ochii spre cer, Te-ntrebi ce-ai putea să mai faci, Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Din braţe fă-ţi aripi de fier Şi zboară cu ele spre cer!..." Fragmente din poemul "A XI-a poruncă" de Ion Minulescu (1881 - 1944)

Sarmale Tradiţionale/ Cabbage Rolls filled with pork meat; versiuni reţeta/recipe (ro/eng)

"Sărmăluţele, ca şi sărutările, n-au număr. Nu ceri şi nici nu ţi se dă un număr de sărmăluţe, ci un grup. Vezi cu surprindere că a dispărut. Ti se dă altul. In clipa când ai devenit melancolic, nu mai ceri. Atunci abia înseamnă că ai mâncat sărmăluţe. Clipa sărmăluţelor fusese atât de palpitant patriotică, încăt baba, ca şi acei regi care se duceau singuri pe cîmpul luptelor importante, apăruse în uşa sofrageriei. Lupta fusese câştigată: farfuria sărmăluţelor era goală.” (Ionel Teodoreanu: La Medeleni din vol.III Intre Vînturi)"
