OH YEAH I liked it !!
I've been distracted lately but I was browsing the internet and I stumbled upon these words that I found most inspiring. So I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Thinking of you is pretty, hopeful, It is like listening to the most beautiful song From the most beautiful voice on earth... But hope is not enough for me any more, I don't want to listen to songs any more, I want to sing. I've learned some things from having lived: If you're alive, experience one thing with all your power Your beloved should be worn out from being kissed And you should drop exhausted from the smelling of a flower A person can gaze at the sky for hours Can gaze for hours at a bird, a child, the sea To live on the earth is to become part of it To strike down roots that won't pull free If you cling to anything, tightly hold a friend Fight for something with every muscle, whole body, all your passion And if you lay yourself for a time on the warm beach Let yourself rest like a grain of sand, a leaf, a stone To your utmost, listen to every beautiful song As though filling all the self with sound and melody One should plunge head-first into life As one dives from a cliff into the emerald sea Distant lands should draw you, people you don't know To read every book, know other's lives, you should be burning You shouldn't exchange for anything the pleasure of a glass of water No matter how much the joy, your life should be filled with yearning You should know sorrow, honorably, with all your being Because the pains, like joys, make a person grow Your blood should mingle in the great circulation of life And in your veins life's endless fresh blood should flow I've learned some things from having lived: If you're alive, experience largely, merge with rivers, heavens, cosmos For what we call living is a gift given to life And life is a gift bestowed upon us Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel, for example- I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation. Living is no laughing matter: you must take it seriously, so much so and to such a degree that, for example, your hands tied behind your back, your back to the wall, or else in a laboratory in your white coat and safety glasses, you can die for people- even for people whose faces you've never seen, even though you know living is the most real, the most beautiful thing. I mean, you must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for example, you'll plant olive trees- and not for your children, either, but because although you fear death you don't believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier. Everything Depends on You !!!!! You are as heavy as the ground pulls you, As light as your wings flutter.. You are as alive as your heart beats, As young as your eyes see distance... You are as good as the people you love, As bad as the people you hate.. Whatever the color of your eyebrows and your eyes are, Your color is what the one facing you sees.. Don't think that what you lived is what you gained: You are as close to the end as you lived; however long you live, Your life is as long as you love.. You are as happy as you can smile. Don't be sad, know that you will smile as much as you cry Don't think that everything is over, You will be loved as much as you love. The value nature gives you is in the rise of the sun And you are as human as the value you give to the one facing you. If you will lie one day; Let the one you address believe you as much as the trust for you. The longing for the loved one is in the moon light, And you are as close to your love as you long for. Don't forget, you are as wet as it rains, As warm as the sun warms you. You are as alone as you feel alone And as strong as you feel strong. You are as beautiful as you feel beautiful.. This is life! This is living, You live as much as you remember this When you forget this, you feel as cold as every breath you take And you are forgotten as soon as you forget A flower is as beautiful as it is watered, Birds are as sweet as they chitter, A baby is as baby as it cries. And you know everything as much as you learn, learn this as well, YOU ARE LOVED AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE
