Imaginary. Imaginativ



"But only if...
this emptiness of life will no longer be..." 

"But only if... that emptiness of life will no longer be..." At sunset.  Felix - Bihor County

Imaginary tale. By Alexa T

If one day you'll see me,
right in the middle of the street,
then just keep the rhythm
of your subtle and stumbled walk.

And pretend that we're surrounded

by thousands of souls
speaking loud with
harsh voices.

Stunned and amazed,

by the strange view,
gently raise your pale hand,
waving slowly.

Like sitting in a busy station,

where the last bus,
passed along, filled with
emptiness in mind.

And If, one day,

I'll see you,
I'll surely pretend
that we're surrounded,
by an noisy crowd of souls,
in the middle of the freeze of fall.

Then, gently, to spread away,

I'll wave my livid hand,
and I'll catch the rumour buzz
of the agitated street
to liberate the sound
of inner calm...

But only if...

that emptiness of life will no longer be...

Zi de Toamnă. Fall. September.


Prima lună de toamnă. First month of autumn.




"Who now has no house, will not build one (anymore). Who now is alone, will remain so for long, will wake, and read, and write long letters and back and forth on the boulevards will restlessly wander, while the leaves blow." By Reiner Maria Rilke


"Numele lunii septembrie (latină: September) vine de la cuvântul latinesc septem, șapte, pentru că luna septembrie era a șaptea lună în calendarul roman.
Grecii numeau luna septembrie Boedromion. În România, luna septembrie, popular, se numește Răpciune. Luna septembrie este luna cea mai importantă pentru cei care au trudit pământul, acum fiind culese roadele muncii de peste an."
"September / September (from Latin septem, "seven") or mensis September was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancientRoman calendar that began with March (mensis Martius, "Mars' month"). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. September followed what was originally Sextilis, the "sixth" month, renamed Augustus in honor of the first Roman emperor, and preceded October, the "eighth" month that like September retained its numerical name contrary to its position on the calendar. A day was added to September in the mid-40s BC as part of the Julian calendar reform."

A mix of thoughts at summer end...


Sunset. Near the forest of Băile Felix.

  A mix of thoughts at summer end.... (again),
 but this time in my own lyrics... 

And just because.




And just because... I'm thinking... 

My thought is as a sort of traveller spirit.
With a very earthy soul...

and an infinite affection for all that's humane
 (I acknowledge so)...



I guess...
that I'm really blessed...
For the chance to smile, to feel, to live
Among the critters, small or big...
among those passing seasons by...

Among the feelings, yours or mine,
among the battles of the cruel time...
time that had never stopped since..
                                      and just because...                                         


   All the nature is on my part!

I have no time to have a rest...
I'm not so sure if you'll read a word...
I have no time to rest myself a bit!

I guess...
that I'm really blessed...
Among the trees, colors and good vibes,
among the feelings,  yours or mine...
Life's ironic...
on the road.
You may stumble, even fall...

Just keep your faith,
the love and hope
and all the memories for inner soul.
It's what you'll hear...

All the nature is on your part!

Feel the light, the sunny rays, the shining stars,
love the moon, embrace the infinite blue skies...
Say "cheese" while looking to the golden sun,
and smile at sunset, with no tears in eyes,
to replace the hidden scars... 

Send me joy, share my lucky star...
Just respiro... Always play with a brave heart!...
And think of that:
All the nature is on our side...
We're really blessed.
That's all.
I guess*...

Stele  "Când vine vorba de noapte Eu stau pe scara si ascult, stelele roiesc în gradina si eu stau în întuneric. Asculta, o stea a cazut cu un clinchet! Nu mergeti pe iarba cu picioarele goale; gradina mea este plina de aschii."     "Stele"; poem de Edith Södergran


The Stars

"When night comes
I stand on the stairway and listen,
the stars are swarming in the garden
and I am standing in the dark.
Listen, a star fell with a tinkle!
Do not go out on the grass with bare feet;
my garden is full of splinters."  

The Stars; poem by Edith Södergran

Nu mergeti pe iarba cu picioarele goale;

"Paștele (latină pascha; ebraică : פסח, pronunțat pessach pentru Paștele evreiesc,ebraică : פסחא, în forma arameică, pronunțată pascha pentru Paștele sau Paștile creștine; greacă Πάσχα) este o sărbătoare religioasă anuală de primăvară cu semnificații diferite, întâlnită în creștinism și iudaism. Unele obiceiuri de Paști se regăsesc, cu semnificație diferită, în antichitatea anterioară religiilor biblice." (...)

"Obiceiuri de Paști
  • Cel mai răspândit obicei creștin de Paști este vopsirea de ouă roșii, a căror prezență este obligatorie pe masa de Paști, deși în prezent se vopsesc ouă și de alte culori (verzi, albastre, galbene etc.). În folclorul românesc există mai multe legende creștine care explică de ce se înroșesc ouă de Paști și de ce ele au devenit simbolul sărbatorii Învierii Domnului. Una dintre ele relatează că Maica Domnului, care venise să-și plângă fiul răstignit, a așezat coșul cu ouă lângă cruce și acestea au fost înroșite de sângele care picura din rănile lui Isus.
  • Cu ocazia sărbătorilor Pascale gospodinele prepară și alte mâncăruri tradiționale: pască, cozonac, drob." (accesati Wikipedia pentru mai multe info)
"Easter (Old English Ēostre), also called the Pasch or Pascha (the two latter names derived, through Latin: Pascha and Greek Πάσχα Paskha, from Hebrew: פֶּסַחPesaḥ), or Resurrection Sunday, is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred three days after his crucifixion at Calvary. It is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance." (...)

"Easter eggs

"Easter eggs are specially decorated eggs given out to celebrate the Easter holiday. The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute eggs made from chocolate, or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jellybeans." Excerpts from Wikipedia.

Din punct de vedere al formei, cozonacii pot fi drepți sau rotunzi, simpli sau împletiți. Din punct de vedere al umpluturii, deosebim cozonaci simpli sau umpluți.
Umplutura poate conține nucă, alune, mac, stafide, rahat turcesc, fructe zaharate (confiate), brânză dulce (așa numita pască pregătită de obicei de Paști), cacao, marmeladă sau combinații ale acestor ingrediente: nuci și mac, nuci și cacao, nuci și rahat, nuci, stafide și rahat, brânză dulce și stafide, etc.
De regulă, cozonacii împletiți nu au o umplutură propriu-zisă, ci doar bucățele de fructe confiate, nuci, rahat, stafide, înglobate în aluat.
Cozonacii se coc în cuptorul bine încălzit la început la temperatura de cca. 180° C, după ce au crescut și încep să se rumenească se dă focul mai încet (nu se deschide cuptorul!). După ce s-au scos din cuptor se lasa să se racească în tavă la caldură feriți de curent." *Sursa Wikipedia

Cozonac... Something so sweet... ready for the hot oven... "Depending on the region, one may add to it any of the following: raisins, rahat, grated orange or lemon rind, walnuts or hazelnuts, and vanilla or rum flavor. "
Cozonac... Something so sweet... ready for the hot oven... "Cozonacul este o prăjitură tradițională românească și bulgărească (bulgară kozunak), fiind în mod tradițional gătită de Paște și Crăciun. O prăjitură asemănătoare este Panettone, care este gătit de Crăciun în Italia în regiunea Lombardia. Diferența cea mai vizibilă fiind forma lui rotundă și înaltă. (...) Aluatul este cam același în toată România. Ingredientele principale fiind făina, laptele, zahărul, ouăle, untul, drojdia, și pentru un gust mai plăcut se adaugă coji rase de lămâie sau/și portocale.
"Cozonac (Romanian pronunciation: [kozoˈnak]) or Kozunak (Bulgarian: козунак, Bulgarian pronunciation: [kozuˈnak]) is a traditional Romanian and Bulgarian sweet bread, which is a type of Stollen. It is usually prepared for Easter in Bulgaria, and mostly for every major holiday (Christmas, Easter, New Year's Day, Pentecost) in Romania and Moldova.

The dessert is also known as tsoureki (Greek: τσουρέκι), شوريك (Arabic), panarët (Arbërisht), choreg or chorek (Armenian: չորեկ), çörək (Azerbaijani), or çörek (Turkish). It is a sweet, egg-enriched bread, which is rooted in the cuisines of Western and Central Asia. Such rich brioche-like breads are also traditional in many other countries, such as Hungary and the Czech Republic. Examples of similar breads from other cultures include badnji kruh in Croatian cuisine, folar de páscoa in Portuguese cuisine, brioche in French cuisine, kulich in Russian cuisine, panettone in Italian cuisine, and challah in Jewish cuisine.

Cozonac is a sweet bread, into which milk, eggs, sugar, butter, and other ingredients are mixed together before baking. In Bulgaria, the kozunak is prepared by adding lemon zest to the dough mixture, just as the Romanian version. The Italian Panettone is very similar to the basic cozonac, the most visible difference being their shapes."
Depending on the region, one may add to it any of the following: raisins, rahat, grated orange or lemon rind, walnuts or hazelnuts, and vanilla or rum flavor. "In Romania, the recipes differ rather significantly between regions in what concerns the trimmings. The dough is essentially similar throughout the country; a plain sweet bread made from flour, eggs, milk, butter, sugar and salt. Depending on the region, one may add to it any of the following: raisins, rahat, grated orange or lemon rind, walnuts or hazelnuts, and vanilla or rum flavor. Cozonac may be sprinkled with poppy seeds on top."
"Today, this dessert with a long history is prepared mainly in the southeastern European countries, especially in Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria, where it is considered a traditional food."

Oua colorate divers sau dupa preferinta. Various coloured Eggs by preferance. Gladly shared."Astăzi în sufragerie
Dormitau pe-o farfurie,
Necăjite si mânjite,
Zece ouă înrosite.

Un ou alb, abia ouat,
Cu mirare le-a-ntrebat:
- Ce vă este, frătioare,
- Ce vă doare?
Nu vă ninge, nu vă plouă,
Stati gătite-n haină nouă,
Parcă, Dumnezeu mă ierte,
N-ati fi ouă...
- Suntem fierte!


Aprilie, 20, 2014. Paste Fericit! Happy Easter! Bonne fêtes de Pâques!Zise-un ou rotund si fraise
Lânga pasca cu orez.
Si schimbindu-si brusc alura,
Toate-au început cu gura:





- Pân'la urmă tot nu scap!
- Ne găteste de paradă.
- Ne ciocneste cap în cap
Si ne zvârle coaja-n stradă...

  - Ce rusine! - Ce dezastru! 
- Preferam să fiu omletă!
- Eu, de m-ar fi dat la closcă,
As fi scos un pui albastru...
- Si eu unul violet...
- Eu, mai bine-ar fi să tac:
Asa galben sunt, că-mi vine
Să-mi închipui că pe mine
M-a ouat un cozonac!... "
