Gift

POEM Gift by Czeslaw Milosz (Berkeley, 1971)

A day so happy.
Fog lifted early. I worked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over the honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw blue sea and sails.


Dzień taki szczęśliwy.
Mgła opadła wcześnie, pracowałem w ogrodzie.
Kolibry przystawały nad kwiatem kaprifolium.
Nie było na ziemi rzeczy, którą chciałbym mieć.
Nie znałem nikogo, komu warto byłoby zazdrościć.
Co przydarzyło się złego, zapomniałem.
Nie wstydziłem się myśleć, że byłem kim jestem.
Nie czułem w ciele żadnego bólu.
Prostując się, widziałem niebieskie morze i żagle.

Five Borough Farm

BOOK Five Borough Farm by the Design Trust for Public Space

























Found it on the couch: a collection of urban agriculture case studies in New York City as a practical model and guide for ecological, social, economic, and health development in cities. The website offers a clean graphical explanation of urban agriculture and what it offers to the urban landscape and its people.

The History of Love

BOOK The History of Love by Nicole Krauss


It took me just about six months to finish. At 252 pages, that averages to roughly 1.5 pages per day from February to August. Little doses taken in one at a time, of sweet in the saddest way.

Nothing was spelled out in this story. Artifacts of various sizes and qualities were presented - diary excerpts, novel passages, dialogue - to piece together love in its many forms, which makes The History of Love the perfect book to have read very slowly. At least that's my excuse.
