31 May PARATY – 30 MAY 2019 – NERDS

Public libraries are our refuge when the kids feel like reading, are bored or the weather pushes us inside.

The books are our pampering because they are “fat”, like Ana says, meaning heavy. Our mobile library contains 20 books we cannot live without.

This is how the man is made, the minute something is forbidden to him, he bites the apple. That’s how we feel about books, as we can’t afford to keep them, we love them from the distance and borrowed.

That’s how we teach the children that the memories are inside us.

Their grandfather collects fridge magnets and their grandma bells, we collect sunsets, bird songs, touches, and hugs.

Today Lavinia and the kids went to the library. They read, they worked, drew and enjoyed the closeness of the toilet.

Yes, simple things are sometimes taken for granted.

I stayed on the beach with the pets under a palm tree. I looked up for hours. I find that the green of the leaves matches very beautifully the blue of the sky, together with the fluffy clouds and the birds.

I stopped the time and I was.

I was the sky looking at me and the clouds.

TOCILARII

Bibliotecile publice sunt refugiul nostru cand copiii au chef de citit, sunt plictisiti sau vremea ne tine locului. Cartile sunt pentru noi un adevarat rasfat pentru ca sunt “grase” cum zice Ana, adica grele. Biblioteca noastra mobila contine 20 de carti considerate indispensabile. 

Asa este omul facut, cum i se interzice ceva, musca din mar! Asa si noi cu cartile, cum nu ni le putem permite sa le detinem, le iubim de la distanta si cu imprumut. 

Asa-i invatam pe copiii ca amintirile sunt in noi. 

Tataie colectioneaza magneti iar mama clopotei si degetare, noi colectionam apusuri de soare, cantece de pasarele, mangaieri si stransuri in brate. 

Astazi Lavinia cu copiii s-au dus la Biblioteca. Au citit, au lucrat, au desenat si in acelasi timp s-au bucurat si de toaleta. Da, lucrurile simple sunt un lux cateodata, cine s-ar fi gandit?

Eu am ramas cu animalele pe plaja sub un palmier. M-am uitat in sus pret de cateva ore. Imi place foarte mult cum se vede verdele frunzelor pe fundalul albastru al cerului, totul presarat cu pasari plutitoare si nori bucalati. 

Am oprit timpul si am fost.

Am fost cerul care se uita la mine si la nori.
