1. In Catalan
Entre marges i vinyes
hi ha un camí
que em porta
a la gratitud de viure.
2. Landschap
3. En anglès
A spring afternoon,
between stone wall and vines,
I stumble across
the gratitude
for what is,
for a place
becoming home.

5. The invitation of the poet, Neruda:
…que no nos llenemos la boca […] con tanto tuyo y tanto mío
…let us not fill our mouths […] with so much of yours and mine
6. Rebel against hate, rebel against indifference, rebel against those who would divide us.

Thank you, Laurence. If you’re not familiar with the Neruda poem (Demasiados nombres / Too Many Names), the whole thing is worth a read
