Canto

Yes, I know, we have been manipulated long enough to pay attention to this date, the fourteenth of February. And, yes, I know, we abhor corny lines and sticky declarations of affection when we feel no real sign of it. Still, there is always something, somehow, that catches our attention and let us remember our pure feelings for somebody today, apart for our beloved ones, of course.
When I saw this bouquet, few moments ago, I had to think about an amazing American singer and the deep impact she unwittingly had in my life. Two of her songs accidentally reached my ears in two pivotal moments of my existence and left an indelible mark. Her words supported and sustained me in such an intimate way that I can only celebrate the unlimited power a song can have, as a pure message to humankind, when all the ingredients merge in sheer bliss. In her first song she sang about the Greatest Love Of All, her second one was I Will Always Love You. She passed away few days ago and I bow to her accomplishments and complex mission on Earth.
