Unul dintre poemele mele preferate... ce surprinde VIATA in cateva randuri


It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

SINGAPORE

merlion

"Singapore, the land of migrants? It is often being described as a transient place (lounge) - people coming and going, people passing by or through. For every one leaving, there will be another one or two coming..."

In mijlocul Asiei, dar nu e Asia... ci un globulet de sticla orientala, un mozaic in permanenta transformare ce abunda de tendinte vestice... Ce-a fost si ce-a ajuns || Diversitate etnica... || Thaipusam || Nunta indiana || Anul Nou Chinezesc || Mancarea || Sarbatorile de Paste || Singlish || Malaezia || Nastase in Singapore || Nu va vrem sangele! || Anul Nou Chinezesc si animalele || ANC... din nou:) || ANC in familie || Razboiul si Lepra ιι Craciunul si Consumerismul ιι

CHINA

china3.jpgInainte sa ajung in China, aceasta tara conducea de departe in topul meu de "tari de cacao pe care le-as huidui la scena deschisa". Ajunsa aici insa mi-am dat seama ca ei, chinezii, sunt de fapt oameni normali. Aproape foarte normali…

INDONEZIA

eggs, many eggs

Cel mai mare arhipeleag al lumi, cu peste 17000 de insule. 6000 de insule locuite... si tot atatea tari.

Insula Bintan - primul meu concediu medical º Bali, sau "Insula Paradis" º Bali - Vulcanul º Balinezii si religia lor º Atentatele din Bali º Balinezii - nume si casatorii º Cu Flora pe motocicleta º Balinezii... º Plaje, lagune, plaje, chitari

LAOS

Mica, frumoasa, conservata in timp. Printre singurele tari comuniste inca si printre cele mai sarace din zona. Tara a contrastelor, si cu atatea de descoperit...

Laos - mica tara asiatica ιι Laos - Vraciul de langa Resort ιι Poporul Hmong din Laos ιι Anul Nou impreuna cu Poporul Hmong ιι La aruncat de mingi cu poporul Hmong ιι

 

Ganduri despre asemanari si deosebiri

Situatiile cu care ma intalnesc zi de zi ma pun mereu pe ganduri... asa ca astea sunt unele dintre gandurile mele. Subiective desigur. Ale mele.

Est vs. Vest ° "Where are you from?" ° Rasism sau nu rasism ° Rasism impotriva propriei rase? ° Guliver in tara altora ° Movie scenes ° Religii... pentru? ° Calugarul budist ° Craciunul si Consumerismul ° Brand Prostitution ° "Coincidente" ce ne ghideaza viata
