Earth

Nobody knows anything.

Confusion settles down within hazard games
inspiring the life
with useless rules

works
habits
vices
timetables
loves

dream.

Nobody knows why.

Probably
not even God knows
what He has been
doing.

///

Personne sait rien.

La confusion s'installe parmi sortilèges
qu'inspirent la vie
avec roules inutiles

travaux
habitudes
vices
horaires
amours

rêve.

Personne sait pouquoi.

Probablement
ni même Dieu sait
ce qu'Il a
fait.

///

Ninguém sabe nada.

A confusão instala-se por entre sortilégios
que inspiram a vida
com regras inúteis

trabalhos
hábitos
vícios
horários
amores

sonho.

Ninguém sabe porquê.

Se calhar
nem Deus sabe
o que anda
a fazer.

"Ce qu'un homme peut expérimenter de plus beau et de plus profond, c'est le sens du mystère. C'est le principe qui sous-tend la religion et toute entreprise artistique et scientifique sérieuse. Celui qui n'a pas expérimenté cela, s'il n'est pas mort est au moins aveugle. Saisir que derrière chaque expérience de la vie il y a quelque chose qui échappe à notre entendement, dont la beauté et le sublime ne nous atteignent qu'indirectement, c'est de s'émerveiller devant ces secrets et de tenter humblement de saisir par l'esprit ne serait-ce que l'image de la structure grandiose de tout ce qui est."

(Albert Einstein)

Si peu d'entre nous auront vu notre Planète Terre en entier, comme sur la photo de NASA !!!!
