  • Rara avis

    Mă luase cu foame dar providenţa a făcut să deschid cartea asta şi mi-a trecut. Mi s-a lipit de mână, de retină, de minte şi de “organul spiritual”.  O carte bună, o gândire vie, limpede şi autentică – adevărurile, cu alte cuvinte – pot, iată, ţine de foame.  O dovedeşte din nou Andrei Pleşu, care…

  • A fine and healthy debate

    Adam and Eve were living in a world of plenty. They were in the Garden of Eden and everything was taken care of. They could have: had long, revealing conversations with God deepened their love and understanding of each other lived in harmony with their environment while exercising a minimal self-restraint contemplated, cultivated and created…

  • Knock-knock! Who’s there? Depression season!

    They’re here. The long, cold, damp winter months with their smothering darkness. So bring out those UV and infrared lamps and steer clear of depression. By the way, what is the deal with this depression epidemic nowadays? Is it the sensory deprivation of our virtual environment, the lack of true friends, the materialism, the stress,…

  • La Roma

    Din când în când călătoresc singură prin lume. Şi fiindcă tocmai am terminat de citit “Idele lui Martie” de Thornton Wilder, mi-am amintit de Roma. Acum trei ani, Roma a fost cadoul meu de Crăciun. Şi fiindcă vine iarna, mi-e dor să mai merg acolo odată, chiar acum, pe calea gândului. Să revăd ce? Umbrelele…

  • Cusături

    Îţi curge infinitul pe la cusăturile hainelor, Prin ţesuturile care îţi căptuşesc inima, Prin buzunarele gândurilor. Umbli lăsând după tine Plete, plete de infinit, Pe care unii calcă cu picioarele, împiedicându-se, Ca de nişte cozi imponderabile de şerpi Iar alţii îşi împletesc din ele funii ca să se spânzure.   Când deschizi pleoapa, Se zbat…

  • Wake-up call

    Dear readers, dear friends, thank you so much for following my blog and thank you for your comments. Please have understanding if I am going to be a little quiet, a little absent for a while. Our family went through a traumatic experience two days ago. We could have lost our sweet little girl, our…

  • Automotive darwinism

    I am naturally wary of any car that is either: a) big enough to flatten my house or b) fast enough to break the sound barrier. :-P Which is why I try to stay out of their way if I can help it. I (almost) always give Porsches, Hummers, and even some BMWs the right…

  • Vedere de noapte

    cu ochii tăi m-ai văzut aşa cum eram în realitate: schematică, ca o radiografie – oase plutind în derivă pe o pâclă de înserare. ţesuturi au început să-mi crească după aceea.   pe atunci nu aveam încă trei dimensiuni.   tu, Omul, (poate singurul) mi-ai zis: „mergi şi tu înainte la Betezda şi stai liniştită.…

  • My book is out!

    Are you familiar with CreateSpace? The website that lets you create, edit, publish and sell your own creative work? Well, I’ve tried it, and as it happens, I have a new book out. It’s called Acid EROSion – The poetry of wounds still raw. The page layout in the interior of the book is pretty lame,…

  • Lessons to my 15-year-old self

    Yesterday was International Day of the Girl Child. A 14-year old gets shot in Pakistan for having the most normal of opinions; girls across parts of Africa and Asia  have their genitalia mutilated and are forced into abusive marriages. Lots of girls don’t even make it into the world, they get “terminated” before birth because…

  • Sexist much?

    It all started out as a harmless chat about motorcycles. He bragged about his, I bragged about my husband’s. Then he said that’s too easy, he does off-road, ’cause riding on tarmac is for 60-year-olds. I said I’d be glad to pass on this very useful piece of information, but don’t go putting ideas into…

  • Mrs. T. is leaving the country

    I went back home for a few days, to the Romanian town where I was born, where I grew up, and where I spent the better part of my youth. I took a long nostalgic walk down memory lane, revisiting all those places that were the landmarks of my childhood years: the school, the school…
