Snow and Czech Poetry

I woke up this morning to a white city. The snow finally arrived!

Today is my day of rest, so I sat in my favorite French Cafe, sipped a cappuccino, read poetry from a Czech poet (Daniel Raus), and listened to Jack Johnson on my ipod.
I am breathing deeply today.

searching for you is like
listening long to the sounds of silence
and all at once understanding the voice of the storm
searching for you is like
walking up the long and winding road
and all at once glimpsing the vast valley below
searching for you is like
dreaming long about a distant, majestic person
and all at once meeting him
searching for you is like looking long into the mysterious nature of things
and all at once seeing them through different eyes
