I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

Time for a new text to join the list. The last one I decided to publish is called “Back Home“. This time, it’s an English one.

Also, the site now comes with a new look and color theme.

Enjoy!

A new week begins, and one more (Romanian) text makes it to the list: this one is it’s called “Cel mai frumos cadou” (Romanian: “The most beautiful present”). Just like with the other texts, the pictures are taken out of my personal photo collection.

Feel free to comment on the text here, and enjoy the lecture!

A new text with a Japanese theme joins the list of “public” texts that I wrote – the text is called “Sophora Japonica“.

A quick background for the text: Sophora japonica – otherwise known as the Chinese Scholar-Tree, or the Japanese Pagoda Tree, and translated as “salcâm japonez” in Romanian – is an acacia tree native to eastern Asia (mainly China; despite the name, it is introduced in Japan). It is quite a popular ornamental tree in Europe and North America, grown for its white flowers, borne in late summer after most other flowering trees have long finished flowering.

The intro quote is a traditional haiku I happen to like a lot, and the picture to the right of the text is an origami paper crane figure I made myself.

Enjoy the text!
