Sweet Darkness

When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.

There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb
tonight.

The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.

You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes the darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn

anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.

~David Whyte~

"Cada ser humano es un ermitaño condenado a vivir acurrucado en el caparazón de su identidad. La única oportunidad que tiene que abrir su alma y salir de este capullo es entregarse al ser amado... para reinventarse mutuamente".

To anyone...

I just read this and I loved it SO much I had to blogged it... Check it out.

"TO anyone,
For the ones who look to the sky and imagine the possibilities. To the one’s who look at a pile of discarded garbage on the side of the road, and see art. To the one’s who often feel overwhelmed by the beauty of other people. To the one’s who write, and paint, and think. To the one’s who hate humanity, yet love it to death. To the one’s who feel too strongly and love too deeply. To the one’s who stay up late with heads filled and minds yearning. To the one’s who drink life in and spit it out.
To the one’s who see the opportunity to create something new, where others see just another blank canvas. To the one’s who cry and laugh and scream and rejoice. To the ones who hope and the ones who hold on.
Never stop dreaming. Never stop hoping and wishing. Never stop creating and never stop loving. Never stop screaming. Never stop feeling. Never stop searching. Never stop looking at the sky and marveling at beauty. Never stop holding on.
For when we do, the world will surely collapse."

Another one...

"... some things aren't any good unless they're shared. Sitting up all night would be pointless if somebody you loved wasn't sitting up with you, picking out music to play and helping you kill the bourbon. Walking by yourself in the rain is for college kids who think loneliness makes poets."

-Peter S. Beagle. A fine and private place.-


And another:

"...Why sould love be remembered any longer than any of the others?'
'Because we need it more', he said. 'Because without it, there is nothing left of us. Loving each other, we last a little longer before we forget even that we lived once. Knowing ourselves loved makes us almost human for a little time."

Just a little synchronicity for today...

Just some words from my friend Shannon Leto that somehow rang a bell inside of me:

To change it takes a decision based on faith; faith takes forgetting everything you thought you knew...S.L.
