Rules are simple, and this one caught my eye…

I wouldn’t talk about politics or anything that strikes me these days, so I will add no news or anything particular. I am just expressing in poetic way by reminding you on these great music songs – No Government by Nicolette (Massive Attack vocal),  and the latest from Norah Jones – Sinkin’ Soon. Personally, this one reminds me on Tom Waits. You choose. You have chosen.

On todays World Poetry Day, UNESCO pays tribute to great poet, Pablo Neruda.I will pay tribute to my favourite Serbian writer – Milos Crnjanski and Sumatra.

Sumatra

Sad smo bezbrižni, laki i nežni.
Pomislimo: kako su tihi, snežni
vrhovi Urala.

Rastuži li nas kakav bledi lik,
što ga izgubismo jedno veèe,
znamo da, negde, neki potok,
mesto njega, rumeno teèe!

Po jedna ljubav, jutro, u tuðini,
dušu nam uvija, sve tešnje,
beskrajnim mirom plavih mora,
iz kojih crvene zrna korala,
kao, iz zavièaja, trešnje.

Probudimo se noæu i smešimo, drago,
na Mesec sa zapetim lukom.
I milujemo daleka brda
i ledene gore, blago, rukom.

“Sumatra”

Now we are carefree, light and tender.
We just think: how quiet are the snowy
peaks of the Urals.
If a pale figure makes us sad,
the one we lost to an evening,
we also know that somewhere, instead of it a rivulet
flows and is all red.
Each love, each morning in a foreign land
envelops our soul closer by its hand
in an endless tranquility of blue seas,
in which red corals glitter
like the cherries of my homeland.
We wake at night and sweetly smile
at the Moon with its bent bow
and we caress those distant hills
and the icy mountains with our tender hand.

For the next issue of the JPG magazine, three themes on the run: Entropy, The Breakthrough, and Beauty Redefined. I gave my little contribution and hope that one of these two photos will gain some votes (at least there is a team from San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery). In the next 2 weeks you can vote for any submitted photo you like. Until then, I will try to find my vision of re-defined Beauty.

This afternoon – european time, or 9.30am PAcific time, Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial airliner, made its test flight US landing at Los Angeles international airport, hours ahead of a sister plane expected to land shortly in New York. The plane flew to California from from the builder’s headquarters in Toulouse, France, carrying no passengers, only crew, to test its landing capabilities at Los Angeles. Considering Europe, Lufthansa has ordered 15 A380s, the first of which is due to be delivered in the summer of 2009. You can see/watch the interior of the jetliner, cabin personnel in the first, space in the economy class and video broadcasted few minutes ago here.
