Plus tri

Sećanje koje je uvek lepo prizvati. Užasno duga pesma Santane, sentiš koji je bio glavni na žurkama sedamdesetih; okružen prijateljima, nevin pogled dečijih očiju, pesma bez reči, lepša od mnogih sa hiljadu reči, mnogo asocijacija… Verovatno je jedan od razloga zašto smo Mira i ja išli na časove plesa. Kasnije je svako od nas otišao svojim putem, ali očigledno da nam je ritam ostao u nogama. Oboje smo prošli više od pola sveta i zavoleli smo  različite kulture i ljude. Mira je tu otišla još korak dalje, pa je veći deo stana opremila nameštajem iz Sirije. Pa sad njoj pokušate da prodate priču da je to narod bez kulture. Ona jednostavno mnogo stvari zna jer ih je videla. Iako njena omiljena sentenca Šta bi ja da mi nije mene? zvuči zabavno, suština je Mirino samopouzdanje. Nekako mi je uvek bilo jasno da je Mira uvek više pridavala pažnje onome šta ona misli o sebi, a ne drugi. Ponosan sam što se još uvek moja drugarica.

The memory that is always nice to recall. A terribly long song of Santana, main slow dancing song at the parties of the seventies; surrounded by friends, an innocent view of kid’s eyes, a song without words, more beautiful than many with a thousand words, many associations … It’s probably one of the reasons why Mira and I went to dance classes. Later, each of us went his own way, but obviously the rhythm of the song was in our feet. We both passed more than half the world and we loved different cultures and people. Mira went a step further, so she decorated the most of the apartment with furniture from Syria. So now you try to sell it to her that Syrians are a cultureless nation. She just knows a lot of things because she saw them. Although her favorite sentence What would I do if it was not me? sounds fun, that is the essence is Mira’s self-confidence. Somehow it was always clear to me that Mira always paid more attention to what she thinks about herself, not the other. Proud that she is still my friend.
