Dawn of Hope

From Tchaikovsky's opera : Eugene Onegin illustrated by Anna and Elena Balbusso
“He held me in his arms, holding me close to him as the wind picked up and sand twisted around us on the beach, promising to leave souvenirs in our pockets and hair. We stayed for hours, watching the waves, the dolphins, the colors in the sky fade into more incredible colors, until dark consumed it. We watched the stars and made a wish on a meteor shower and we managed to make it home without getting lost. He held me in his arms, and as I watched the sun, I thought how this is all I wanted, and I felt the pain of losing the moment before it was lost. Have you ever been so full in one moment, you already know the hole it’ll leave in you once it’s gone?”
- n.c. // how can you feel something that’s not there anymore
short poem by Emily Dickinson, american poet (1830-1886)
find someone whose name brings you to your knees, whose eyes tell you stories you'll repeat each millennia so the earth can never forget them,
find someone whose hands leave stars on your skin that you kiss in gratitude at the thought of proximity to them,
don't ever let them go.
“Why complicate life? Missing somebody? - Call. Wanna meet up? - Invite. Wanna be understood? - Explain. Have questions? - Ask. Don’t like something? - Say it. Like something? - State it. Want something? Ask for it. Love someone? - Tell it. We just have one life. Keep it simple.”
