Henry Miller, 1891-1980, American author

Hands – wings

Hands – wings

Hands. Fingers, nerve endings, skin, life-giving veins... Is there a more direct and expressive part of the human body than the eyes? The soul flows out of the eyes, we deposit emotion in the palms. We hold it, let it become water, let it quench our thirst. Knitted...

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE

On an ordinary evening in 1981, while we were mindlessly engrossed in a popular series in front of our black and white television, the 80 earthquake in Athens came to swallow us up without warning. Neighborhoods of the capital, poor and rich, were affected indiscriminately....

DENSE TIME

DENSE TIME

The sense of time is gradually lost. A few weeks and it feels like years have passed... When the drill reaches the bone marrow, the cells go crazy and do not recognize seconds, they expand into the universe, where thoughts mercilessly burst into...

SAILING TO

SAILING TO

When you turn your own chess game upside down…or else sail towards… Sail towards where? Toward our inner freedom. Personal freedom is not given, it does not come in a gift wrapping, it is not asked for, it is not shared, it is not sold or bought, it is not...

Oceanic feeling

Oceanic feeling

Oceanic feeling or oceanic feeling When I first stumbled upon these words, thousands of stars, grains of sand and drops of water sparkled within me at the same time, and I am not at all afraid to say that I heard the life-giving echo of the ocean. I thought that...

The walk

The walk

For all those boys (and there are many) who wonder… I like Thomas. Not just because he's my cousin - that might be the least of it. I like him because he often reminds me of me when I was younger. But he's smarter, even though...

Tell me mom...

Tell me mom...

Mom, what beautiful fairy tales you read to me, how gently you wrap me in the tender sheet of your voice. Tell me, tell me more stories, mom... Tell me about animals that talk, about distant stars, tell me about white clouds, about books that fly like magic carpets, about worlds...

"The sharing"

"The sharing"

Unknown to each other, we decided to meet. Initially, a quiet embarrassment accompanied me. I felt hesitation, a doubt about "how I would cope". The motivation, the need for connection and meaningful communication, won out. With interest and moderation, our beloved...
