kalos estin ho bios

everyday is a new day, some days are newer and shiny. today I am so happy to receive a mail from a friend who lives far far away, and close by heart. how strange is this relativity of distance. and a dear friend is fortunately close no matter what.

when I was little, I was wondering why people were making space flights, landing on moon or sending an orbit to Mars. I am still puzzled: why on earth humankind try to reach outer planets while one of the most difficult things in life is to reach one who is right beside?

perhaps the most unbearable distance is the one which is physically the closer.

anyway, kalos estin ho bios!

Xaipe/ 65

I thank You God for most this amazing

day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything

which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth

day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay

great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing

breathing any-lifted from the no

of all nothing-human merely being

doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
