(Submitted by the author)
They say that we Slavs, like the Russians and Serbs, not only know how to live, but also how to survive. But beyond the clichés, I would say that the true art of living lies in knowing how to give, and how to give of oneself. And not only when there are other people around, but also when there’s no-one there.
We are each other’s business; we are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.
Gwendolyn Brooks, USA
