A new brand called Kitchen Xpress I tried for the first time today. My verdict: excellent!

But Do You Feel It? :)

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

– Voltaire (1694-1778)

“When I had no eyes, I listened…”

Samurai Song

by Robert Pinsky

When I had no roof I made
Audacity my roof. When I had
No supper my eyes dined.
When I had no eyes I listened.
When I had no ears I thought.
When I had no thought I waited.
When I had no father I made
Care my father. When I had
No mother I embraced order.
When I had no friend I made
Quiet my friend. When I had no
Enemy I opposed my body.
When I had no temple I made
My voice my temple. I have
No priest, my tongue is my choir.
When I have no means fortune
Is my means. When I have
Nothing, death will be my fortune.
Need is my tactic, detachment
Is my strategy. When I had
No lover I courted my sleep.
