Who can be happy?
And who talks about wanting
to be happy but doesn’t know how?
Is my happiness a choice?
High pressure and extreme
temperature became normal.
And we went under earth.
And we went digging and digging,
And when I almost was ready
to give up right there, deep underground Hard rock under extreme pressure and
extreme high temperature transformed into a diamond.
People say only under these
circumstances, only in this heavy way the diamond can be born.
While listening to jazz we
put that diamond on my finger.
And after tiffany…after
tiffany, it didn’t become easier or cooler.
After tiffany it is not all
in greenish blue.
And that is how I know we
have a chance to find more of those precious stones.
During the introduction speech to the show I recited my first poem in English
with Melanie Lemieux - the owner/director of New York Stage of Mind
TV and radio host Miguel Moreno and sculptor Kathryn Beckwith
