The twelve days of Christmas

…. nu uitati  ghetutele , pantofii or papuceiii !!

     Saint Nicolas vine la noapte !!!

……………………………………………..
On the twelfth day of Christmas, 
my true love sent to me 
Twelve drummers drumming, 
Eleven pipers piping, 
Ten lords a-leaping, 
Nine ladies dancing, 
Eight maids a-milking, 
Seven swans a-swimming, 
Six geese a-laying, 
Five golden rings, 
Four calling birds, 
Three French hens, 
Two turtle doves, 
And a partridge in a pear tree!

            Mos Nicolas trecand din casa in casa ,  de la o fereastra la alta ,sarind din gura-n gura  si din gheata-n gheata ( pentru cei cu suflet de copil  ce-au iesit pe furis printr-o  spartura , din cetatea lor , si vin tiptil ; pentru cei plecati departe , plini de praf si obositi ; pentru scriitorii de istorie  , care  iscodind in dreapta si-n stanga  aduna ghicitori si snoave ; pentru cei calauziti de stea ; pentru cei cu aripi lungi la umar de la rai si de la iad ; pentru cei din alte universuri ) toata lumea sa afle marea veste : Intalnirea o sa aiba loc si anul acesta :):)

December love

Cand iti vine  uratul  ,asa , intr-o zi ploioasa eu ma gandesc cateodata sa aleg  cu grije un vin bun de tot si sa-l savurez , sa  ma  duca si sa ma-nvarta pana incepe sa ma savureze  el pe mine ,  oricum , sa  vezi lumea cu lentile de Saint Emilion , imi pare o varianta ce miroase tare a strugure rabdator si ghiftuit de soare , vechi ca mine – ceea ce nu poate  fi prea rau . Decat o  zi urata , mai  buna savoarea vinului baut la gura sobei !

Why we should be thankful

                  Defeat and worse await those who fail to show gratitude for all that is  right and wonderful in their lives and in this special nation of ours .

                   Our liberty , our material bounty , our unexcelled opportunities , our science , our technology , our generosity as a people , the  talents of our neighbors , the kindness we so often encounter , the natural splendor of our land , the humor that bubbles up  constantly ,  traditions that guide us in  productive directions , a dramatic lessening of much that used to afflict us , and so much more .

                       Even in the worst of times – no , especially in the worst of times – appreciation of our blessings is critical . Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation came during the Civil War , the most bloody , awful years in American history , and  so why , one might wonder , was he talking about  ” fruitful fields and healthful skies ” about law and order being maintained during the conflict , about a growing population , enlargements of settlements and  other ” gracious gifts of  the Most High God ? ”   An answer is that by doing so he was helping to keep people from losing themselves in contemplation of nothing but the painful , to balance the frightening with hopeful , to derive power from  the positive , to push ahead .

                     It may well be that the United States is now  facing one of the  toughest economic periods we have known for a  while . But I am convinced , nothing that  hits us will destroy all that , and  granting as much will help us recover . This Thanksgiving will itself be  something to be  grateful for if we really do turn our attention to the marvels of our time , our place , our lives , for here lies rejuvenation , a source of energy and inspiration .

    Facing  reality  matters  but , does not mean just facing what’s worrisome , but what’s encouraging .

                     HAPPY THANKSGIVING  , everyone   !

November snow

       Tu- care stii prea bine ce precar e umbletul meu aici pe  screen , pe acest ecran alb si- fugaret , pandit in jur de picx si bits ,  de  paienjenisul fara  limita al web ului  ; Tu- care stii ce fire  adanci  ma leaga de-ai mei , de cei care ma  respira -n somn ca pe aroma unei mari pierdute  ; Tu -care stii cat e de ingusta puntea intre  prapastia fara inceputuri si cealalta care n-are capat ; Tu –  luna sticloasa , aprinde noaptea geroasa cu un fir de argint , pe care sa  calc . Tu- november rece , imi treci toata viata pe forma vantului fara figura .

     Dar sunt printre cei norocosi  . Am nimerit in spatiul acesta stramt , plin de lumina , o creatura zgribulita !
