Si eu le citesc! Fiecare strop de cer cazut in ochii mei este o scrisoare, o odisee, un destin, iar hainele de pe mine, ude leorca si baltocile din drum, sunt bibliotecile cerului. Oricine poate citi marturiile cazute din cer ; orbii, surdo-mutii, sfintii, ticalosii, lupii si viermii. Si mai ales viermii, care stau de paza, dar si cu rabdare, rod timp, rod eternitate, transformind totul in ceea ce suntem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">-Linistete-te!

Ma lupt cu el, pasindu-l hotarit si apasat si cu fiecare pas sunt tot mai convins ca acest drum nu duce nicaieri. Dar continui sa pasesc si alaturi de mine pasesc Prometeu, Ulise, Michelangelo, Isus Cristos si tatal lui Dumnezeu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Calci greu in apa vie, calci in picioare cer, calci imortalitate si de aceea nu stii, nu intelegi! \u2013 Si iarasi, fara de voie, imi vorbesti in cap?

Dar daca alunec si cad pina in centrul Pamintului, pot oare sa ma reintorc de mina cu Atlas. Si reintors, pot oare sa ard ca un sfat bun, ca o bucurie? Si daca ard asa, pe cine pot sa-l incalzesc, pe cine flacara mea poate sa-l lumineze, sa-l mistuie-n lumina din adincuri si sa-l salveze? Nu, nu-mi raspunde tu, Ulise si nici Tu, Doamne nu-mi raspunde. Sa vina un necunoscut si ala sa vorbeasca!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Acum e liniste deplina. Un fel de moarte cu ochii larg deschisi care inregistreaza totul, dar nu raspunde. Ce glas are Moartea? Cu ce cintec seducator, cu ce mars glorios sau cu ce soapta tainica ne atrage ca un magnet si ne trimite in murire? Sau poate ca intr-adevar este ne-murire, sau poate ca ne trimite intr-un cuvint necunoscut, care nu poate fi rostit de cineva inca in viata. Trebuie sa fii mort cu adevarat ca sa-i intelegi menirea, sa-l poti rosti, impartasi altora si atunci doar mortii te vor auzi, te vor intelege!?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Si ea, Moartea; ramine cu noi pentru intotdeauna, sau doar apare la balustrada, ne intinde mina si ne trece de partea cealalta?

And I read them! Every drop of heaven fell into my eyes is a letter, an odyssey, a destiny, and the clothes I wear, dripping wet, and\u00a0 puddles in the way\u00a0 are libraries of heaven. Anyone can read testimonials fallen from heaven; blind, deaf and mute, saints, scoundrels, wolves and worms.

I struggle with it, stepping to it decidedly and heavily, and which step I am\u00a0 \u00a0increasingly convinced that this path leads nowhere. But I continue to walk and with me walks Prometheus, Ulysses, Michelangelo, Jesus Christ and God the father.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You walk hard in living water, walk \u00a0heaven, walk immortality step and therefore do not know, do not understand! &#8211; And again, unwillingly, you talk in my head?

Bending a bit forward, I can see very clearly\u00a0 the fire that warms the Earth, fire\u00a0 feared by those who have not sinned. But if I slip and fall up to center of the Earth, may I return by hand with \u00a0Atlas? And once returned, may I burn as a good advice, as a joy? And if I burn so, who can be warmed, who can be enlightened by may flame, devoured by \u00a0light of depths and saved ? No, do not answer you, Ulysses, nor thou, O Lord do not respond. Let come an unknown guy\u00a0 and speak!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now it is full silence. A kind of death \u00a0with wide eyes open that records everything, but not responding. What voice has Death? With what seductive song, what glorious march or what mysterious whisper\u00a0 attracts us like a magnet and sends us into \u00a0dying? \u00a0Or maybe really it is no-dying, or sends us into an unknown word, which can not be uttered by someone still alive. You must be dead really\u00a0 to understand its mission, to utter it, share to others and then only the dead will hear, will understand you!?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And she, the Death, remains with us always, or only occurs at the railing, holds her hand and\u00a0 move us to the other side? Then disappearing like an unfulfilled promise to us, letting us alone to touch darkness or light an eternity? Eternity that appears to be even longer than everyday life &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sky got high until slowly, slowly disappeared and his wet messages can not reach\u00a0 me. It&#8217;s quiet and no one speaks to me in the head. Am I \u00a0dead?
