This is not a picture book. It's a book of feeling, a book of the night, of the day. To taste Ethiopia you have to be like a poem: in peace, even when there’s trouble inside.

feeling is time
nothing seems to change
life take its own path

the importance of greatness is as small as we

sun tell us colors, scales, steps

horizon does not end at the eyes
stars do not end in the brief darkness of the sky

commonplace for images,
immense for those who feel

all sings
animals, people, wind
tension exists, but not seen
peace is many, but not understood

same contrast
same harmony
same Africa
