L-aħbar tal-mewtek tassew li ħasditni! Għax qatt f’mitt sena, għażiż Prospero, ma kont nobsor li se tħallina hekk! Ħabta u sabta! Daqshekk malajr! Għalhekk, b’mewtek, infetħitli ġerħa li qajla issa se tagħlaq! L-għaliex min tassew jixtieq li jitlef persuna tant għażiża f’ħajtu? Continue reading Għażiż Prospero!

Kemm tinbidel il-ħajja!
Il-ħajja hi dik li hi! Filli mexjin mod u filli nispiċċaw nimxu mod ieħor. L-ewwel naqbdu triq imbagħad nafu noħroġu minnha. Abbli l-għaliex nidħlu f’mogħdija parallela biex imbagħad nerġgħu nidħlu fiha mill-ġdid b’mod ġdid ukoll! Continue reading Kemm tinbidel il-ħajja!
Kif jarana HU!
Kemm ngħaddu minn affarijiet fil-ħajja! Kemm nħabbtu wiċċna ma’ diffikultajiet! Kemm niltaqgħu u abbli nkunu parti minn stejjer ukoll! Ġieli nfassluhom aħna u ġieli jiġu fuqna! Kos hux! Continue reading Kif jarana HU!

O pjaneta mxammra!
Insellimlek pjaneta mxammra! Hemm, narak, imdendla. Mal-ispalliera. Għodu għodu. Jew, mhux le, daqstant għodu għodu. Fis-sagristija!
O kemm niggustak! Hekk! Imxammra! Donnok maħduma apposta! Ħa tkun tal-qies. Ikolli ngħid li int bħal dawk li ċekknu l-istonku tagħhom. Biex ma jieklux kemm jifilħu. U hekk ikunu qed iżommu ftit ikel biss. Ħa jibqgħu fostna. U jsebbħu lil ħajjitna u ‘l ħajjithom. Għax, biex ngħidlek, anki int issebbaħ lil min jilbsek! O pjaneta imxammra! Continue reading O pjaneta mxammra!
Looking at each other
In the priestly blessing of Numbers 6 we pray: The Lord make his face to shine upon you (Num 6:25). According to, Rashi, a Jewish medieval biblical commentator, God will suppress His anger by “looking at you”. Are we ready to look at each other? Or keep escalating the violence and hate amongst us by avoiding looking at each other? Thus, paving the way for us to be excellent victims of arrogance, revenge, indifference, pride and senseless anger? Do we realise that by looking at each other we deliver ourselves from number one silent killer: anger?
