I had Skier59 on 5 stars also. What an incredible World we are in... A minute we are part of It, the minute after we are gone... There is no past, there is no future at the end... At this very second, we are or we are not... Period!
When someone goes like that, I always recall the words of the Italian singer Gianmaria Testa :
E mi guardi così
però la vita é un attimo
e poi mi parli
si ma la vita é subito
il lampo, soltanto il lampo
di una fotografia
ti abbaglia negli occhi, la cerchi
e non la vedi più
... e ci passa sui piedi e poi tutto
diventa un ricordo,
un lampo negli occhi, la cerchi
e non la trovi più
(Free translation:
And look at me
Life is only a moment
And then talk to me
Life is like the flash
The lightning only
Of a camera
It will dazzle the eyes, the circles
And see no more of it
So we're just walking in
And then the whole only becomes a memory,
A gleam in the eyes, the circles,
And you do not find any more…
Sorry for the O.T., but after all these posts, albeit virtual, we kind of feel like a community ...!
