Yes, Si, Oui

From the author of the bilingual collection of poems, Soundless Guitars, Adulterous Dreams, here's a collection of unpretentious, pleasing thoughts, authored by ordinary speakers of our collective wisdom. But now enhanced and presented in English, Spanish, and French. Some are identical to our innermost trivial musings, and some are more challenging, perhaps controversial, and we don't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy or refute them. Yes, it does boil down to opening one's mind in order to identify with what's beyond the words. But then, if opening our mind is a condition to read and enjoy quotations, be they authored by the famous or by the nameless, "then why must we close our mind again if for no reason?" Indeed, the answers to this and to similar questions lie within you. "It takes more than looking to see; more than seeing to understand; more than understanding... to uphold the truth." Regardless of how this idea may resonate in your first language, pondering on it in any second or third YES-SI-OUI language adds to the enjoyment that we all expect from a good book. So take out a minute and do your mind a favor! Read them in the language of your choice; brush up on what you have learned, or meet your favorite new language halfway. Bonne Chance!
