Love, the most powerful of all

No wind can bend it
No person can break it
Nothing can stop
the storm that love
can unleash

Love may not be the strongest of all,
but it is the most powerful and radiant

No emotion brings so much with it
No emotion has so many facets

No other emotion can keep up with it

💜 Irini

🩷 Love as if it were the last time

I remember a time
when innocence shaped my thoughts

I remember
when gentleness enveloped my heart

I remember a time
when hope seemed so close I could almost touch it

I remember
when there was always hope for love

I remember a time
when longing always found a safe haven

I remember
and I will never forget it
I remember

It slipped through my fingers,
fell to the ground,
and shattered into a thousand pieces.

I watched you leave
and didn’t go with you.

I was too frozen,
trapped in the thicket.

I let you go
and my happiness went with you

You slipped through my fingers
I let you go
I was too frozen
and everything inside me
shattered into a thousand pieces
You took all that happiness with you
because I let you go

Write down for me
what you see in me

Write down for me
how great your love is

Write it down
and give it to infinity

So that we never forget
what love is

When my heart
takes on the rhythm of yours

When my heart
no longer wants to beat without you

When my heart
feels only sorrow when far from you

When I look into your eyes
my heart feels like it’s about to burst

When I look at your body
my passion cannot be restrained

When I hear your laughter,
all the darkness disappears

So that “when” becomes eternity,
and nothing can stop
the unstoppable

The website for #mattermost is frightening. It looks like they're trying to market to some pretty awful people ("trusted by governments, enterprises and militaries").

I've been using it for a while now but definitely don't want to hang about in that space any more. The ever shifting sands...Any alternatives?

#prose looks ok, but I'd welcome some reviews.

I found beauty
in all things

They stood out—
they wanted to be seen

No longer disregarded
or cruelly ignored

All this beauty
lies before us

We must see
the beauty
that underlies
everything

Irini ❤️

Okay, just a very short one today, my dears

Le jardin des rochers

Níkos Kazantzákis (1883-1957) est venu tard au roman : ce n’est que dans les quinze dernières années de sa vie qu’il a écrit ses bouleversantes épopées en prose, témoins plus abordables du combat acharné qu’il a mené sans répit, en lui-même autant que pour les autres.

Écrit en français à Égine, en 1936, au retour du premier voyage de l’écrivain en Extrême-Orient, le Jardin des Rochers est la seule tentative romanesque de Kazantzákis avant Alexis Zorba, le premier de ses grands romans, écrit à Égine également, en 1943.
