la multi ani, mama! iti multumesc pentru ca m-ai invatat optimismul, mi-ai educat sensibilitatea, m-ai invatat omenia si mi-ai cultivat naravurile cu multa discretie si gingasie.

un plod.

come, take the light

ROMANIA/tomorrow, orthodox christians believers around the world celebrated easter (the most important day in the orthodox calendar)- a day for quiet reflection. candles which illuminated church arrived from jrusalem, where the fire – the light of christ – appear miraculously each year on the eve of ester celebrations. the darkness, symbolizing death, is pierced, destroyed by hundreds of lighted candles, and by the exuberant chanting of “christ is risen from the dead! by his death he conquered death, and to those in the tombs he has bestowed life!”

lightthe light is a symbol that literally connects over 200 million othodox believers worldwide. in romania easter sunday is a joyous occasion for all orthodox believers when they give each other hand painted eggs. 40 days from now on christians will continue to greet one another with the words: “christ is risen! truly, he is risen!”

nu stiu cum se face, dar de fiecare data cand nimeresc in acelasi spatiu cu trupa BYRON, ceva pozitiv se schimba in viata mea. o coincidenta bizara, dar placuta, ce n-are legatura cu trupa in sine, desi, de piatra sa fii, si tot n-ai cum sa nu reactionezi in vreun fel la muzica lor. malitiosii ar spune cum ca: norocul meu este ca nu cer cine stie ce de la viata si ca ma multumesc cu atat cat mi se cuvine. treburi d’astea. se prea poate, sa aiba si ei partea lor de dreptate, insa, nu intru totul. oricum, pare-se ca-mi prieste interactiunea cu ei. si-apoi, pana si-n momentele mele de optimism radical, nu m-am situat in boxa exaltatilor sau a miorlaitilor de conjuctura. admit, imi place byron si pentru profesionalismul lor. indiscutabil, maine, dincolo de leneveala si dormitarea melancolica, tipica unei zile de sambata, o sa provoc destinu’ sa-mi deschida usita catre raionul cu delicatese. (ora 22.00, in teatru 74, bastionul macelarilor, cetate, tirgu-mures).
