In nisva govorila And we did not talk

Našla sva jo, pomlad, na morju, v najini ljubljeni Izoli. Če že noče k nam, tale pomlad pomladasta, jo greva pa midva iskat, sva rekla! Našla sva barve, ki dišijo sem in tja in mimogrede in kar tako in okoli, in veter, na katerega se nasloniš in z njim tekmuješ, kdo bo glasnejši, valôvi ali tvoj smeh.
 
Smeje sva se drla drug na drugega, da sva se sploh slišala, tam na Petelinu, ko pa naju je sonce, to slano sonce!, tam kasneje v zavetrju speljalo na kofetek, sva že vnaprej vedela, da bova tiho.
 
In nisva govorila.
 
Že zdavnaj sem spoznala, da sem samo z ljudmi, ki jih imam rada in so mi najbližje, lahko sproščeno tiho, saj veste, ko samo sedite in ne rečete nič, kolikor časa pač že, in se ob tem ne počutite niti malo neprijetno. Ker si z mislimi na istih valovih. To je zame zelo pomembno, ker večinoma nisem preveč klepetave sorte, zato sem sčasoma razvila ta samodejni notranji merilec človeške bližine.


We have found it, spring, there at the sea, in our beloved Izola. If it doesn’t want to visit us, this springy spring, we said, we go and find it ourselves! We have found colours that smell here and there and by the way and just like that and around, and the wind that you can lean on and compete with in who gets louder, waves or your laughter.
 
We were smiling and yelling, Miro and I, to hear each other when we were walking around Cape Petelin [=cock], but later when we moved to a lee we were lured by sun, this salty sun!, to have a coffee we knew already that we will be quiet.
 
And we did not talk.
 
I have learned a long time ago that only people I love and are very close to me do not give me that uncomfortableness if I am quiet. You know, when you just sit and say nothing and do not feel unpleasant about it. Because you are on the same waves in your thoughts. Since in many cases I am not a very chatty sort of person this is a great automatic inner human-closeness-meter that I have developed.
