Silence was there first, before things. It is as though the forest grew up slowly after it: the branches of the trees are like dark lines that have followed the movements of silence; the leaves thickly cover the branches as if the silence wanted to conceal itself.

Man and the Sea

charles Boudelaire

Free man, you will always cherish the sea!
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul
In the infinite rolling of its waves,
And your mind is a no less bitter abyss.

You enjoy plunging into the heart of your likeness;
You embrace it with your eyes and your arms, and your heart
Is sometimes distracted from its own clamor
By the sound of that untamable and savage lament.

You are both dusky and discreet:
Man, no one has sounded the depths of your chasms;
Oh sea, no one knows your intimate riches,
So jealous are you of guarding your secrets!

And yet for countless centuries
You have battled one another, without pity or remorse,
So much do you both love carnage and death,
Oh eternal combattants, oh implacable brothers!

Television:

One nation under GOD has turned

into one nation under the influence of the drug!!

TELEVISION , the drug of the nation,

Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.!!

Dies slowly
Pablo Neruda ..:namespace prefix = o ns = .."urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office.." /

Dies slowly he who transforms himself in slave of habit,
repeating every day the same itineraries,
who does not change brand,
does not risk to wear a new color and doesn.."t talk to whom doesn.."t know.

Dies slowly he who makes of television his guru.

Dies slowly he who avoids a passion,
who prefers black to white
and the dots on the .."i.." to a whirlpool of emotions,
just those ones that recover the gleam from the eyes,
smiles from the yawns,
hearts from the stumbling and feelings.

Dies slowly he who does not overthrow the table when is unhappy at work,
who does not risk the certain for the uncertain
to go toward that dream that is keeping him awake.

Who does not allow, at least one time in life, to flee from sensate advises.

Dies slowly he who does not travel, does not read,
does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself.

Dies slowly he who destroys his self love,
who does not accept somebody.."s help.

Dies slowly he who passes his days complaining of his bad luck or the incessant rain.

Dies slowly he who abandons a project before starting it,
who does not ask over a subject that does not know
or who does not answer when being asked about something he knows.

Dies slowly he who does not share his emotions, joys and sadness,
who does not trust, who does not even try.

Dies slowly he who does not relive his memories
and continues getting emotional as if living them at that moment.

Dies slowly he who does not intent excelling,
who does not learn from the stones of the road of life,
who does not love and let somebody love.

Let.."s avoid death in soft quotes,
remembering always that to be alive demands an effort much bigger
that the simple fact of breathing.

Artist: Aimee Mann Lyrics

One is the loneliest number
That you.."ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It.."s the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience
You.."ll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number
That you.."ll ever do
Much much worse than two
One is a number divided by two

SATISFIED MIND

jeff buckley

How many times have you heard someone say,
.."If I had money, I would do things my way..."
But little they know, that it.."s so hard to find
one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.

Money can.."t buy back all your youth when you.."re old,
a friend when you.."re lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person, is a pauper at times
compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out,
my friends and my loved ones, I will leave there.."s no doubt.
But one thing.."s for certain, when it comes my time,
I.."ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
But one thing.."s for certain, when it comes my time,
I.."ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind mind mind, mind mind,
satisfied mind
