What is it?
The Daily Cure for me is trying to smell taste touch—really experience— something, each day, that reminds me that I'm alive and, mostly, happy to be here. A small moment that should go a long way, at least in theory.-

The Daily Cure 
I love those trees, Ginkgo Biloba, great leaves.
Me too. Like little tiny fans.
I have a tiny little Maidenhair ( Ginkgo) tree in my yard that is barely surviving . My oldest girlfriend, who I lost in a tragic car accident in Germany this year, would give me ginkgo leaves to take to the US .
Here is a poem from Goethe
This leaf on the tree in the East,
Has been given to my garden.
It reveals a certain secret ,
Which pleases me and thoughtful people .
Does it represents One living creature
Which has divided itself?
Or are these Two which have decided
That they should be One?
To reply to such a Question,
I found the right answer:
Do you notice in my songs and verses
That I am One and Two?
Oh, Gerlinde, thank you so much. That poem is beautiful!
Do you want the Italian translation.
Yes, thank you! I would love to have the Italian translation! For some reason the program’s not letting me reply below. Hope you see this.
Here is a link, let me know if it works

You do love autumn colours, don’t you. But that incessant rain – hope it lifts a little soon. c
Well, it is so gray here otherwise…I do tend to gravitate toward them…y’know. Always on the look out for the stuff that makes me happy. Not a fan of rain. Cold, fine. Rain? UGH.
That’s wonderful! And did I see it was 79 degrees in Milano yesterday?? Or is my iPhone lying to me again? >
Definitely lying. Rainy and cold-ish.
This is my third try to send you the link for the translated poem.
