YE HAGERE GEBERE

by MOSEB BAND

በመኖር አጸድ ውስጥ
(በእውቀቱ ስዩም )
ጊዜ ከሰው መሀል - መርጦ ሲያቀማጥል
ማጣት አለ ደሞ ፥
የወለዱትን ልጅ ፥ ጉድፍ ላይ የሚያስጥል
በተፈሰከ ቀን ፥ ጾምን የሚያስቀጥል ::
እድልና ትግል በሚጫወቱበት
በደልዳላው ስፍራ
አለቃና ጭፍራ-
-ቃል ሲለዋወጡ ፥ ውልና መሀላ
“አብረን እናድጋለን ” ቢባል ለይስሙላ
ወንዙን ሳያጎድል ፥ ሐይቁ መች ሊሞላ፤
ጸሐይ ብትወጣ
ፍጥረት በጠቅላላው ጸጋዋን ቢቀበል
የደመናም ጠበል ፥
ለሁሉ ቢደርስም
አንደኛው አያድግም ፥ አንዱን ሳያከስም ::

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING BY MILAN KUNDERA

Living for Sabina meant seeing. Seeing is limited by two bor-ders: strong light, which blinds, and total darkness. Perhaps that was what motivated Sabina's distaste for all extremism. Extremes mean borders beyond which life ends.

Naturally she had not realized it until now. How could she have? The goals we pursue are always veiled. A girl who longs for marriage longs for something she knows nothing about. The boy who hankers after fame has no idea what fame is. The thing that gives our every move its meaning is always totally unknown to us.

We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.

Conversely, the absolute absence of a burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into the heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant.

I want to free myself from the quilted slumber of wrong. Do not detain me, my blamer! Cavil me not by mention of the lions of the forest Or the snakes of the valley, For me soul knows no fear of earth And accepts no warning of evil before evil comes. Advise me not, my blamer, For calamities have opened my heart And tears have cleansed my eyes, And errors have taught me the language of the hearts. Talk not of banishment, for conscience is my judge And he will justify me and protect me if I am innocent, And will deny me of life if I am a criminal. Love’s procession is moving; Beauty is waving her banner; Youth is sounding the trumpet of joy; Disturb not my contrition, my blamer. Let me walk, for the path is rich with roses and mint, And the air is scented with cleanliness. Relate not the tales of wealth and greatness, For my soul is rich with bounty and great with God’s glory. Speak not of peoples and laws and kingdoms, For the whole earth is my birthplace And all humans are my brothers.

Selamta-ሰላምታ

By Mohammed (Raju Raju's feeling)

“We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.”

MINARI

One of the most resonant themes within “Minari” is the idea of what it means to cultivate roots—both literally and figuratively. As the family plants their crops, we witness the struggle of adapting to a new environment, and each small victory is laden with the weight of hard work, sacrifice, and the hopes of a better future. This serves as a poignant reminder that the journey towards achieving one’s dreams can often be fraught with challenges, but it is also filled with moments of beauty and grace.

The Endless

In a cinematic landscape often rife with formula, "The Endless" stands out as a haunting meditation on existence itself. It's a cryptic, chilling experience that lingers long after the credits roll—a film that invites contemplation even in its unresolved questions, ultimately leaving viewers poised between wonder and horror, yearning for answers that may never come.
