Inspired by Nerudas' poem
"Ahora me dejen tranquilo"
*******************************
Ahora me dejen tranquilo
Ahora se acostumbren sin mí.
Yo voy a cerrar los ojos.
Y sólo quiero cinco cosas, cinco raíces preferidas.
Una es el amor sin fin.
Lo segundo es ver el otoño.
No puedo ser sin que las hojas vuelen y vuelvan a la tierra.
Lo tercero es el grave invierno,
la lluvia que amé,
la caricia del fuego en el frío silvestre.
En cuarto lugar el verano redondo como una sandía.
La quinta cosa son tus ojos.
Pablo Neruda

*I Ask for Silence*
********************
So now let them leave me in peace.
Now let them get on without me.
I am going to close my eyes.
And all I want are five things,
five precious roots.
One is unending love.
Second, to witness autumn.
I cannot exist unless leaves
are flying and fall back to earth.
Third is solemn winter,
the rain I loved, the fire's
caress in woodland cold.
Fourthly, summer
rounding like watermelon.
The fifth thing is your eyes,

*Bitte um Ruhe*
*****************
Nun lasse man mich in Ruhe.
Nun mag man sich an mein Fernsein gewöhnen.
Ich will meine Augen verschließen.
Fünf Dinge nur will ich,
fünf tief in mir wurzelnde Vorlieben.
Eines ist die unendliche Liebe.
Das zweite, den Herbst erleben.
Ich kann, ohne daß Blätter
treiben und zur Erde kehren, nicht sein.
Das dritte ist der bittere Winter,
der Regen, den ich geliebt, des Feuers
Zärtlichkeit inmitten der grimmen Kälte.
An vierter Stelle der Sommer,
wie eine Wassermelone rund und voll.
Das fünfte sind deine Augen.

As I am not much of a Chef de cuisine, this cake is not aiming to be perfect at all...
it's just a little sweet treat for all of us, as we're getting older and wiser today/ this month ;-))

Yesterday,

big catfight over the correct meaning of CHRISTMAS.

Someone asked me, if I'm working on CHRISTMAS.

Nope,I answered,

acutally I will be  off on Christmas eve, but should be on for the 1st christmas day.

 

Well, it ain't CHRITMAS, it's the HOLY NIGHT ,

the person replied to me ...

 

To me, this day is just Christmas, as Jesus Christ is born .

 

Why does anyone need to pick up a fight about it?

Shouldn't we all be sitting ans sipping some hot choc with marshmallows or crumble some gingerbreads into our tea, thanking who or whatever we believe in, to spend these days with our loved ones instead of argueing about the correct title of this day?

Well- seems some people always need an excusion to put up a good fight over nothing,

so at least, they can spend the holidays alone.

Cheers, then, Mrs. Scrooch!
