A taste of cherry


"You want to give up the taste of cherries?"
Ta'm e guilass


The way is rough, course, bent... Thorns. Tears. Anguish. But look: there is a cherry tree in that garden. Go on, I know the way. It is longer, but more confortable and pleasant. Just go there. Sense the parfume of the cherries. Admide their red beauty. And then taste one. Focus on that taste. Enter in it. Smile to it. As like it is the only existing thing. So sweet... Eat another one. And another, and one more. And now look at the sun. The rain. The wind. The children playing over there. Shake the tree, and fill your pockets with cherries. Then go on walking. Give a handful of cherries to everybody you meet on your way. And do never forget. I tell you: My friend, don't give it up.
