“LadyMoon, do you know Nikola Tesla? ” “Yes, I know him very well
Because
I was the genius Nikola Tesla's partner.
Whether you believe or not aside, this is a fact.
Here, I ‘ll tell the truth about
The man out of Time.”
In the end of 20th century, I was a bushiness intern in Washington D.C.,
got a job in New York, got on an Amtrack, arrived in Pen Station before dawn ,
took a Yellow cab and came into the apartment in East Village. Morning,
I turned TV on. The TV was broadcasting Kosovo Crisis.
March 1999, I started my new life in New York.
October 2000, I transmitted a message on AOL. A man in USA caught it.
He sent me a lot of smileys :-). I was amazed and moved by the variety.
Every time I go to AOL chat, the man forced them into it.
" I'm sorry if I offended you. I wanted to arrive at you"
This is the first words the man sent me. The man's first name was P.
P was unique and we were on the same wave length.
We exchanged Emails and Jan.28, 2001, arranged to meet
on the street in front of the Guggenheim Museum.
P is a Croatian American who immigrated from a village close Zadar, Croatia
at the age of 10 with his parents, relatives and a brother.
His major was the mechanical engineering at CUNY and job occupation was
a computer analyst working for a Hardware maintenance company on Manhattan.
Since then, I and P always act together.
"Let's go to grab something to eat!" "Bagels!" " Good , let's go!"
We always resonated instantly.
P was living in a house along Route25A in Queens and taking care of two stray cats.
The names. One is Mickey. The other is Bookey.
He used to stroke the backs of cats.
One evening, We found a billiard place on East Houston Street. Here Many were playing the game.
When I was 19 years old, crazy about billiards.
P asked me and said whenever I made food for him.
What is this roux made from? How much salt and sugar are contained in it?
Miso soup isn’t good for health because of much salt. I was unpleasant.
P baked the tasty croatian bread and was sure to bring it for me.
I was always looking forward to it.
In summer, we often went to sea bathing to SunkanMeadow in Long island.
P was good at diving shallowly under the surface of sea water.
One day, I snapped my fingers. It was very very low noise, though,
P said from the spot a little far. Stop it, LadyMoon! I can hear the noise!
After Sep.11, 2001, P’s mother died at Croatia. The cause of death was heart failure.
My mom died. She is not an advanced age! P mourned her death and grieved over.
P, when my grandpa died, my grandma was grumbling by the regrets.
‘I shouldn’t have said and done such things to him!’
A Buddhist monk who was listening to it said in calm.
“Grandma, all living things die inevitably someday”
The words were engraved in my memory.
It seemed P recoverd to hear of it. “Thank you! I will go to Croatia”
It was a Sunday in 2002. We were going down Ave. of America from 42nd street.
P, let’s go to Edison’s house next Sunday! Edison’s house?
I don’t forget that P became in a bad mood the moment he heard Edison.
Where is it? West Orange, NJ. His electrical inventions are there Far
We stopped at a crossing. P continued.
Electricity isn’t by Edison. It is by Nikola Tesla from Croatia.
Nikola Tesla worked for Edison’s company. But, they were not compatible.
The signal turned green and we walked across a street.
One evening, we found a squirrel fell from a tree. The squirrel faced death.
He dies soon.
P was staring at the squirrel feeling sorrow. We didn't move the place for a while.
The year of 2003, P lost his job by Iraq war. The sensitive P was in confusion
and shouted I’ll go back to Croatia! I consoled him and cheered up, though,
he was in a state of depression.
Getting unemployment benefits for a year, he got a new job in Apr. 2004.
His company’s head office was in a state far from NY.
P had to leave New York and started his new life stays in hotels one after another.
I wanted to live in America forever. But, the P’s policy didn’t change.
A white dove was coming to near the window of my room on the same day
of the week and on the same time. It was a very beautiful dove.
One day, I met the dove’s gaze. Did you come to see me?
The lovely almond eyes didn’t tell anything.
The end of Apr.2005, I withdraw from America.
In Japan, at a second hand book store, I found P next to Edison. 天才の発想力
P? Why are you next to Edison? The man wasn’t P. His name was Nikola Tesla.
I was surprised! P and Nikola Tesla really look like.
Moreover, I read a book Tesla : Man out of Time by Margaret Cheney.
I was surprised furthermore. P and Nikola Tesla’s outlook, character and habit,
everything is the same! And, how many often P showed me the profile of cover!
P was sensitive to the world situation and talking about peace.
He showed the issues of New York Times and often gave impassioned speeches to me
why the military conflicts don’t settle. And, sometimes, we debated over some subjects.
The genius out of time appeared in 21st century.
I assert Nikola Tesla is never a mad scientist. Never!
He is genius, delicate, sympathetic to the weak and love peace more than anything else.
I just wanted humans to know about Nikola Tesla's great humanity.
