I'll celebrate my seventy-six years,
and why not?
I'm older but wiser,
still healthy,
still ready
for whatever
is coming.
There is no way to prepare
for anything,
except the lessons
of these years,
and of
millennia.

[English]
The parrots have
their own language.
I don't understand it,
but they tell me
it is time
to get up.
Gardener coming at 8:00,
so I get up at 6:00,
prepare my ma-te*,
set breakfast table,
check messages,
go out and
move cars,
shovel dog poop,
finish checking
messages.
The gardener
is here.
Lawn mowers
instead of
parrots.
