One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII
by Pablo Neruda

I don't love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
from the earth lives dimly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.

Pablo Neruda, "One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII"

Changes, the part of life

No one can stop.

Anni's world

 Anni, a little girl, folded a paper toy ship, her fingers nimble with excitement. Suddenly, the room swirled, and she found herself in the cozy cabin of a real ship rocking on the Bay of Bengal. The salty breeze tickled her nose, and the creak of wood echoed. "What is it!" she gasped, wide-eyed, but a grin spread across her face. This was no time for tears—her imagination had whisked her to adventure! She peeked out the porthole, ready to sail the sparkling waves of her dream.
