Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had M (visit tagged M), so this week we have “N” – I’m sure you’ll find a story or a short reflection tagged with “N”! Feel free to add in the comments the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “N”!!! Myself I’ll feature N for NIGHT:
NIGHT

frizz-comment: take the photo (shot by my wife Barbara) as a metaphor for my diary words: “there’s a shade behind all lights …”
comments by several readers at wordpress and flickr:
1 – george-b: It will fill the space, next to “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light get’s in” (Leonard Cohen- Anthem)…. Indeed the sadness behind the joy….Some cannot balance it, the joy around them is too appeasing – oppressing; The shade before the everlasting darkness.
2 – thirdhandart: There is a thinly veiled curtain between one person’s joy and another’s sorrow.
3 – TheWomanAtTheWell: I feel like I’ve been on a train going through a long dark tunnel. Thanks for shining your light for me so I know there’s and end!
4 – semprevento: I think I felt a great sadness. The days go by and leave both of us …. something that is not cleared.
5 – granbee / Rose: Thanks so much for including this shot of the ever-revolving lighted “rides” high above the dark gloomy building. Every time I see a new NASA telephoto of a “new” black hole, I am reminded that dark and light always accompany each other in the universe, both outside and inside ourselves.
6 – frizz-reply: the other part of the wheel is digging through the hell …

hi Myra,
your Mary-Oliver-quotation:
“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert.
You only have to let
the soft animal of your body
love what it loves…”

your quotation has been my mental road map
while baby-sitting last week
(0ne of my daughters had to make her
Dr. promotion, so I had this unusual job –
a chance to refresh my concepts of

Talking about the interpretation of the book what I find interesting about it is how people have been able to find in it an answer to their own ideologies..Satiric, sad, idealist,nihilist, primitive, a fight between idealism and realism…I suppose this is possible because it is a big opus…

Oh…
Doubts are needed…But the problem with Sancho is that they prevent him from acting…He is not able to foresee…He, somehow, prefers to stay in his own place, with his own reality, in his own world, comfy and warm…On the other hand…Lots of heroes go ahead without even thinking…(nowadays we all know a lot of “anointed”…) and at the end the reality lost its importance to them,,.
I think Cervanted was very clever in exaggerating both characters…
