I'm silent today. Quiet. I remain in state of timelessness as one of the Great is travelling her last journey to eternity. I honour Elizabeth Taylor for her inspiring beauty, for her powerful presence, for her way of challenging life, time and rules, for breaking the rules... I am grateful to her for the way she loved, rose, and died... The best epiphany anyone will ever be able to think of her was already written. By Richard Burton.
"There is no life without you, I'm afraid."
Their love story, the troublesome catastrophic passion, the explosion of their feelings has been an inspiration to me for ages. Now they are both gone. As gone as energy may be. Another one was born somewhere at the exact same minute... Another Burton will meet another Taylor in years... Will I know them, will I hear of them? Probably not. But their own love story will also change the world. And none of them will ever regret the ecstatic, though painful birth of a supernova. Just like Edith Piaf, another Great one, didn't regret and loved, and lived, and died in the flames of her own eternal glory:

These two women are connected in my mind in most remarkable and miraculous ways... And I think today I'll celebrate them both. Thank you for having been there... where I am now.
