Not Enough Time

The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else — we are the busiest people in the world. -Eric Hoffer, philosopher and author (1902-1983)

At any corner

Walking down the street
On any corner
to find that ring
looked a conversation
phrases exchanged in passing
wind forgetting the words fly
anywhere in desperate
desperately life goes on for a while, for now,
with tears and joy
rain like tears in the afternoon accompanied
A coffee or a drink
or good company
If you want to realize
at any time
discover love or betrayal
An autumn eternal, endless dark, dark impenetrable night.
And, walking down the street,
under the incessant rain, reborn into a smile
A hope and a flower
sprouting in every corner
and that reflects in the mirror one another, in the new sun born.

Navegantes at Prospect Park

The first band, Navegantes, used a smoke machine that was spread even into the audience and the open air, billowing between the trees in Prospect Park. The smell was very evident.

A short time later the audience was invaded by a swarm of bees, threatening all of us captive witnesses.

Note to Navegantes: no more smoke machines in open air venues!
