Enjoying Life

PHILOSOPHY

You tell me that silence
is nearer to peace than poems
but if for my gift
I brought you silence
(for I know silence)
you would say
This is not silence
this is another poem
and you would hand it back to me
- Leonard Cohen, “Gift” from “The Spice-Box of Earth”

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

We once stayed in a yurt in the Tian Shan next to a beautiful alpine lake tucked in between two 7500 meter mountains for a few days where we saw a Kirgiz girl use a homemade yak dung oven to make some really good bread. She did this while talking mysteriously on the inhale.
