In Hoc Signo Vinces (You'll Win Under this Sign) Bettina Werner's Salt Painting © 1999


A human being
is a unique being,
single and unrepeatable.
Work hard at fulfilling yourself.
With courage,
mark out in your life
irreversible red cross,
and keep going, erect,
along your marvelous path.
Learn to be alone
and keep yourself company.
Let your mind listen and absorb.
Let the most dazzling secret salt of the earth
penetrate you.
Demand intransigence, rigorous verticality.
Don't be afraid of facing the unknown,
and with violent desire
say YES to life.
