If it happens, let it beAnd if not, wait and see.Perhaps a future lies ahead,Another chapter still unread; Growing perspective in the wait:No not today, but later date…Do not force, let it be;If not today, in time, we’ll see.

A FEW DROPS OF WATER
“If it had not rained in the night between the 17th and the 18th of June, 1815, the fate of Europe would have been different. A few drops of water, more or less, decided the downfall of Napoleon. All that Providence required in order to make Waterloo the end of Austerlitz was a little […]
WHAT WE SEE
