The hieroglyph "What loneliness to find no meaning when there is a meaning And what loneliness to be blind in the full light of day, - and deaf, what loneliness, amidst the swelling of a song But not to understand when there is no meaning, and to be blind in the middle of the night, and deaf when silence is complete, - oh, loneliness within loneliness!" By Nichita Stănescu. In "Epica Magna", 1978 "Hieroglifa Ce singurătate să nu înţelegi înţelesul atunci când există înţeles. Şi ce singurătate să fii orb pe lumina zilei,- şi surd, ce singurătate in toiul cântecului. Dar să nu-nţelegi când nu există înţeles şi să fii orb la miezul nopţii şi surd când liniştea-i desăvârşită,- o, singurătate a singurătăţii!" De Nichita Stănescu Din volumul "Epica magna" (1978)

"...a rare celestial event on Tuesday night: a total eclipse of the sun. The moon passes between Earth and the sun every month, but a total solar eclipse happens only when the three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned. And this particular eclipse was even more spectacular, because it occurred while the moon was at its closest point to Earth, appearing as a large “supermoon” to those on terra firma."

April 2016

"Jupiter Conjunction with Moon Sunday night Sunday evening will feature another neat event. The Moon and Jupiter will be nearly side by side." "Usually the waxing gibbous moon washes out most of the night sky. But, Jupiter is so bright you won't miss it."

Can you imagine flowers in grey nuances?... Not as a green, whole image of blooms and leaves... But somehow to think of all of these Just framed like in blurred reveries? Can you imagine any flowers in pale shades, like in the vintage pictures kept so well in boxes for so many years? Can you imagine all of these? When the Spring no longer is...Imagine and keep Like in frozen shapes, these blooms; in so pale nuances of grey, images, patterns and petals Of an endless vernal time with everlasting blooms... A Spring poem without sense. 2016©AlexaT

*Source: National Geographic & internet (various sources). "Supermoons aren’t that rare—the moon has been moving in much the same way for millennia—but this one will be the closest in 68 years, and it’ll be another 18 years before it’s this big again. As a result, the phenomena provides a great opportunity for astrophotography."

Motto:
"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.*"

All is well...

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

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)"
