When I Go To Sleep,Jessica Ginting
like this...
i go to sleep....a bit differently- but we are all relatives
Air, All I Need
All I need is a little time
To get behind this sun and cast my weight
All I need's a peace of this mind
Then I can celebrate
All in all there's something to give
All in all there's something to do
All in all there's something to live
With you...my darling
All I need is a little sign
To get behind this sun and cast this weight of mine
All I need's the place to find
And there I'll celebrate
All in all there's something to give
All in all there's something to do
All in all there's something to live
With you...my darling
Ray Bradbury,Primo Levi, quotes
“It’s part of the nature of man to start with romance and build to a reality”
Ray Bradbury

Primo Levi:
....;it is typical of man to act in an inspired and complex manner, perhaps adding up the costs beforehand, but not confining himself to the pure, imminent, or distant advantage, to take off for remote goals, with aims that are justification in themselves: to act in order to challenge a secret, enlarge his frontiers, express himself, test himself......

Heaven and earth

So the unwanting soul
sees what’s hidden,
and the ever-wanting soul

Two things, one origin,
but different in name,
whose identity is mystery.
Mystery of all mysteries!
The door to the hidden."

The Silence, Wendell Berry
The Silence
(by Wendell Berry)
Though the air is full of singing
my head is loud
with the labor of words.
Though the season is rich
with fruit, my tongue
hungers for the sweet of speech.
Though the beech is golden
I cannot stand beside it
mute, but must say
'It is golden,' while the leaves
stir and fall with a sound
that is not a name.
It is in the silence
that my hope is, and my aim.
A song whose lines
I cannot make or sing
sounds men's silence
like a root. Let me say
and not mourn: the world
lives in the death of speech
and sings there.
