The seconds

by Gacina Bozidar


The first morning of the earth. The second morning of the earth. The first day of the earth and the first day of the cosmos. The early Astronomy and early Biology. The last day of the fifteenth century. The first second of the soccer match and the last second of the N.B.A. play-offs. All of this was noted by Shannen when she was student and she realised that life and love were not as mathematical as all this. There is not the first morning of the love as there were the first morning of the earth. There is God and there is churchyard and there are people who pray together and reading the psalms. And one girl said the best psalm was about Rivers and Heaven, about light and mornings and cosmos and God and the best psalm of television today is the graphics of the famous channels, the appearance of the sister of mercy and the queen who reads the news. The psalm? There is more and more graphics and more and more symbols and signs then anything. And people of this scientific post-modernity agree to be symbolized and agree to be presented by the graphics. And the first light and the first morning were not televised. It was the start and there never existed the logic of ending. Shannen simply knew the first day of her scholarship and decided that whole life will be scholarship and not the scholarship 'from time to time' whatever the degree would be and whatever result. Whatever degree would be, it is 'time to time' learning. And Shannen has been learning always not for degree but for the real knowledge. She wanted to be mother and to learn how to be mother because she waited the first second of the birth of her baby.
