One picture or more... From time to time.(8) Repetitive. Early in spring. Repetitiv. De timpuriu. Primăvara.

Repetitiv. Primăvara devreme.

Primăvara privită de la geam. Primăvara captivă în gânduri. Ecoul pașilor grăbiți se pierde în trafic. Trăim intens sau intensitatea trăirilor respiră în fiecare cută a frunții?
Primăvara privită de la geam pare a fi statică. Din  când în când, o ramură se leagană... Arborii primesc haine noi. Incă o dată, încă un anotimp.
De la geam, primăvara pare captivă. In gânduri, trăim intens. Incă un anotimp prin care trecem grăbiți, pierzându-ne în traficul cotidian...
Incă o dată, arborii primesc haine noi!

Repetitive. Early in spring.

The Spring watched from the window. Spring is captive in thoughts. The echo, of the hurried footsteps, is lost in traffic. Do we live intensely or the intensity of feelings breathe in every wrinkle of the forehead?
The Spring seen from window it seems to be static. Occasionally, a branch swings... The trees receive new clothes. Once again, another season.
From window, spring seems to be captive. In thoughts, we live intensely... We go through another season in rush and we are losing ourselves in everyday traffic...
Once again, the trees receive new clothes!

"Trăim în umbra copacilor.

Ramurile nu mai bat în geam de mult.

Liniștea s-a lăsat tăcută peste toate

cele spuse, ascunse și rămase

fără noimă, în stinghere colțuri de abis hoinar.

"Nu te forța să pricepi cuvintele

golite de înțelesuri, eresuri".

Trăirile pe muchie de cuțit

pot rătăci în voie, necuprinse de panică

că ar fi zvârlite la întâmplare în tumultul cotidian.

Greutatea sufletului vine (și) din închipuirile

minții, și din fantasmele pornite, efemere

să cutreiere nestingherite prin tot

hazardul lunar, apatic și formal

sub cerul tot mai concret, crepuscular.

Trăim în umbra copacilor,

rătăcitori printre emoții istovite,

printre gânduri pierdute, idei risipite,

din vorbe nerostite în tot acest vacarm

al pădurii, infinit, ivite în abstract."

Repetitiv în abstract. De/By A.T.

From around the web/media, this week:

A total solar eclipse swept across the vast Indonesian archipelago on Wednesday, march, 8-9.
I've watched the show on internet via Live from Indonesia. Courtesy: The robotic telescope Slooh.

"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 is even more special: It’s happening while the moon is at its closest point to Earth—called perigee—making the moon appear larger in the sky, as a “supermoon.”

"Thousands of Indonesians witnessed 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."

of different varieties of orchids

"Orchidaceae is a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colourful and often fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. Orchidaceae has about 27,800 currently accepted species, distributed in about 880 genera. The determination of which family is larger is still under debate, because verified data on the members of such enormous families are continually in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species nearly equals the number of bony fishes and is more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The family also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants.The largest genera are Bulbophyllum (2,000 species), Epidendrum (1,500 species), Dendrobium (1,400 species) and Pleurothallis (1,000 species).


The family also includes Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus), and many commonly cultivated plants such as Phalaenopsis and Cattleya. Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species into cultivation in the 19th century, horticulturists have produced more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars." 
"Phalaenopsis /ˌfælᵻˈnɒpsɪs/ Blume (1825), known as moth orchids, abbreviated Phal in the horticultural trade, is an orchid genus of approximately 60 species. Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular orchids in the trade, through the development of many artificial hybrids. It is native to southern China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.), New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Queensland." "The generic name from Greek means φαλαινα "Phalaen[a]-like" and is probably a reference to the genus Phalaena, the name given by Carl Linnaeus to a group of large moths; the flowers of some species supposedly resemble moths in flight. For this reason, the species are sometimes called moth orchids."

Phalaenopsis amabilis, commonly known as the moth orchid is a species of orchid.
Taxonomy and nomenclature
It was first discovered on a small island off the east coast of New Guinea by the botanist Georg Eberhard Rumphius in 1653; however, he named it Angraecum album majus[verification needed]. It remained undiscovered until 1825 when Karl Ludwig Blume discovered the same species and gave it the name it is known by presently. This species is usually found in the eastern to southeastern regions of Asia. Plants in this genus are typically widespread in the areas of eastern Asia, such as China and Indonesia.
Importance
Phalaenopsis amabilis (Indonesian: anggrek bulan meaning "moon orchid") is one of the three national flowers in Indonesia, the other two being the sambac jasmine and padma raksasa. Officially recognized as national "flower of charm" (Indonesian: puspa pesona) in Presidential Decree No. 4 in 1993,
In China, the orchid stood for refinement, friendship, perfection, numerous progeny, all things feminine, noble, and elegant."

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

"The libration of the Moon over a single lunar month.
Also visible is the slight variation
in the Moon's visual size from Earth."

"The Moon (in Greek: σελήνη Selene, in Latin: Luna) is Earth's only natural satellite. It is one of the largest natural satellites in the Solar System, and, among planetary satellites, the largest relative to the size of the planet it orbits (its primary). It is the second-densest satellite among those whose densities are known (after Jupiter's satellite Io).

The Moon is thought to have formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, not long after Earth. There are several hypotheses for its origin; the most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body called Theia."
"The lunar phase or phase of the moon is the shape of the illuminated (sunlit) portion of the Moon as seen by an observer on Earth. The lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth. The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by the Earth's gravity, therefore the same lunar surface always faces Earth. This face is variously sunlit depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Therefore, the portion of this hemisphere that is visible to an observer on Earth can vary from about 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon)."

"Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star." 

Confucius ( 551–479 bc )

Chinese philosopher; Latinized name of Kongfuzi ( K'ung Fu-tzu ) “Kong the master.” His ideas about the importance of practical moral values, collected by his disciples in the Analects, formed the basis of the philosophy known as Confucianism.

""Confucius, as an exemplar of human excellence, serves as the ultimate model, rather than a deity or a universally true set of abstract principles. For these reasons, according to many commentators, Confucius' teachings may be considered a Chinese example of humanism.

One of his teachings was a variant of the Golden Rule sometimes called the "Silver Rule" owing to its negative form:

己所不欲，勿施於人。
"What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others."
子貢問曰：“有一言而可以終身行之者乎？”子曰：“其恕乎！己所不欲、勿施於人。”
Zi Gong [a disciple] asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?"
The Master replied: "How about 'reciprocity'! Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."
Analects XV.24, tr. David Hinton"
