In Memoriam. Pentru Maya.

"Ridic cu grație arcada stângă

(deși, în practică-i cam greu)

privesc la cerul fără stele

și mă izbesc de același gând...

străine-s toate în cer și chiar și pe pământ

uitate-s toate, aproape toate lucrurile cele

ce nu le-ai pomenit prea des, nici prea curând.

Zădarnicia peste toate 

se așterne făr' de un cuvănt...

ș'apoi...

Ridic cu grație arcada dreaptă,

și tot privind la cerul gol

de înțelesuri și eresuri,

repet, cu calm și fără teamă,

uitate-s toate cele...

ce n-au avut vreodat' vreun rost...

și tot privind, cu înduioșare,

la cerul plin de promisiuni,

aud rostita întrebare a îndoielii:

"Incă mai crezi că-n vreo stea

sălășuiește vreo dorință de a ta

ori chiar de-a altuia rostită brambura?...

Cobor cu grație arcada dreaptă

ori stânga,

nu mă împiedic d'un atare amănunt,

și trag nădejdea că unde-i ca să fie

un cer de stele semănat

cu cioburi ori frănturi măcar de vise...

s-a aninat cu dor si cu nădejde

bucuria de a spera...

de a gândi la împlinire ori la altceva...

Si ridicănd apoi o pleoapă,

 stânga, dreapta,

pe furiș si fără un sens precis,

din hazard ori dintr-un ghes

prea lăuntric (ca să-l vezi, darmite să-l înțelegi)...

și rostind ca pentru sine,

aparent, privind ca într-un gol:

Străine-s toate în cer, și chiar și pe pământ,

Undeva, cândva, va fi ori nu ceva...

Stea călătoare ori poate vis 

- aievea, efemer -

Păstrează, deci nădejdea și bucuria de a spera

Cu calm și fără teamă..."

"I raised my left arch gracefully
(although in practice it is a little hard)
and looking at the sky without a single star
and I'm feeling striked of the same thought in my mind ...
alien's all in heaven and even on the earth
's all forgotten, almost everything of those that...
I have not mentioned them - too often or too soon.
Frustration is over all
and it is laid on without 'a word ...
And then...
I'm raised the right arch of the eye so gracefully,
and still looking at the empty sky above
but full of the meanings and superstitions,
again, so calmly and without a fear,
forgotten are all ...
That never had no point or sense..."

(NB. A simple english translation of the lyrics in the first part. 
But not so sure if it is correct... So sorry of that.)

In Memoriam. Pentru Maya

Spring time. Timp de primăvară ...

  It seems that it will rain?... it seems to be a  sunny sky in the weekend!    

       It looks to be like "a changeable weather" or: as it is already known everywhere... 

... since from a while... we do not longer know what season actually is... 

All I can say: It's still a Spring time

But It's still Spring time!!!

So let's see, below, what we have:

Blooms all over...

Poppy flower (floare de mac pe câmp) in the middle of a green field...

Magnolia bloom in my sister's garden (bloomed second time in this spring)... 

Floare de magnolium în grădina surorii mele (înflorit a doua oară în această primăvară) ...

Maya .. pisica surorii mele  și flori de crini ... 

Maya.. my sister's cat and blooms of lilium...

Early fruits....

                                         Green... but fresh green, "fresh greenery"....  

"Verde que te quiero verde.Verde viento. Verdes ramas." the poet used to say!!!
Corcodușe/ mirabelles. fruits of Prunus cerasifera

Green Apricots (Prunus armeniaca) on tree branches...

Spring time... 

            A cosy and relaxation time to spend in the middle of nature...

 in a garden or park, a resort, on the alleys, in the forrest or whatever..
 Have fun, now and always!

And have an excellent weekend!!!

"Some updates are really necessary!!..."

               Actually... it was "feeling cold" or "feeling blue"?!!... if the answer is affirmative in both ways... LOL... then.... "I'm thinking"....no doubt...

"Some updates are really necessary!!..."

So ...let's think again... what am I thinking?!!!... atmosphere...weather... "endless blue"..."small problems of the world".... crosswords... "whatever"... 

 

ohhh....yes...

…It was such a chilly weather for gardening in november - especially in that day choosed to perform such an memorable action ...

...in a cosy family gathering... to share joy and the "coolest weather ever felt in november" plus those "lovely" domestic activities... and... at the very end of all of this.... "the blessings" of catching flu...

Since very long hours were spent in almost "freezing" temperature...  "the old traditional cure" (or idea of my sister and brother in law) was to have a warm cup of romanian "ţuica"- a traditional Romanian spirit prepared only from plums..

This one.. was prepared in the "old fashion style".. so it was being added some sugar and whole black peppercorns....finaly it looked like a cup of tea...

P.s. or... It wasn't my intent to give details about a traditional romanian product... but it's absolutely to be consumed with moderation...

Plus… cordially LOL (again  ;)) feeling amused. )…all of this was written "in the spirit" of soon coming White Holidays... so share the joy being cheerful!!

Did you know...

"Traditionally, țuică is prepared from early October until early December (after winemaking is complete). The process must generally be finished before Christmas, as not to leave unfinished business for the next year. If using plums, they must be left for fermentation (macerare) for 6–8 weeks, in large barrels (butoaie or căldări).... (...) țuică may be left to age between six months and ten years in oak aging barrels (the result is pearlescent yellow, has a strong aroma, and is known as "old țuică", țuică bătrână). ... Normally, țuica is only consumed before the meal (traditionally every meal). In most cases, only a shot is served as it is too strong to be sipped. The drink is also present in all traditional parties (agape) such as weddings, baptisms, hunting parties, harvest festivals, religious holidays, family reunions, wakes, and every day of the week. In most of rural Romania, țuică is the usual drink to hold a toast with, rather than wine, which is almost always consumed towards the end of the party." excerpts from Wikipedia...
