Love Poems

If You Were Coming In The Fall


If you were coming in the fall
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn
As housewives do a fly.

If I could see you in a year
I'd wind the months in balls
And put them into separate drawers
Until their time befalls.

If only centuries delayed
I'd count them on my hand
Subtracting 'till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land

If certain when this life was out
That yours and mine should be
I'd toss life yonder like a rind
And taste eternity.

But now all ignorant of length,
Of times uncertain wing,
It goads me like the goblin bee
That will not state its sting!
Emily Dickinson

Gelukkig zijn mag en kan niet in onze consumptiemaatschappij, met remalce-economie. Gelukkige mensen kopen niks en dat is niet goed voor de groei. Doe dus mee met de economie-tranistie en wordt gelukkig. Een hemelse ont-moeting met de medemens! Misschien is het probleem van de Grieken wel dat zij in de geluksschaal wat bovenaan zijn te vinden! Helemaal prima dus, maar hoe te combineren met de ethiek- en moraalloze politiek? Laat je niks wijzmaken en eis volkomen openheid.Verbinding met bronnen
