"So far I'm loving this book, it's charming and wonderful! my Japanese teacher told me that a lot of humor is lost in translation, because English doesn't have the kind of respect/tones that Japanese does, but knowing that, I can imagine, and it's still great. I love it so far. :) I've never read anything like it, and the language is whimsical and very illustrative. <3" — Jun 20, 2016 09:13AM

only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

“One should speak truthfully;
one should not get angry;
when asked, one should give,
even if there is just a little.
With these three traits,
one would go in the presence
of the radiant ones.”

“Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.
Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.
My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.
My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.
Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.
Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
fool who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter. ”
