60 Minutes And What Else?
January 2011
I just received this mail from a good friend who escaped unharmed from today’s Moscow Airport bombing.
Take time to live.
An arrival in a nice country,
White of nice snow on the trees,
Bright of nice sunlight in the air
The beauty seems eternal untouchable.
And then and there…
Everything departs
Not even a second uninvited unexpected
Flames comes from nowhere and burns everywhere
Death takes what is there accessible with no distinction
The whole world changes in a second
And then and there
The world falls apart
60 minutes away from life is death
More cigars to explain at custom
Or just a broken bag to declare
Or just a longer queue at immigration
Or just nothing, 60 minutes is nothing
And boum! Live becomes death
Everything goes off
60 minutes from hell
Already a few miles away. In the car too far to hear or see anything
But so close enough to feel everything
Especially how life is ephemeral
Especially how life and death are close
Especially how life is everything
And nothing at the same time
And especially how much more Life should be appreciated
Simply, naturally, fully
Shame on us when we complain for nothing
Shame on us when we do not live in depth
Shame on us when we think we have no time for the genuine thing
Shame on us when we don’t build
Simply shame on us if we don’t live
Because it could disappear faster than what we think
And usually we realize when it is too late!
I arrived in Moscow Domodedovo, today, this afternoon.
I was there minutes before the blast, nothing fantastic, just enough to realize how thin the border is.
Very warm hugs from beautiful and white Russia.
Take time to live.
