Back to me

"she calls for you
her faintest whisper
i hear her call
you do too

too far away
for outstretched hand
in land afar
you cannot stay

you know this place
she wants you near
open arms await
your warm embrace

come home."

Action/Response

It's like being hit by a bus.
Realising that your time here is so fragile.
We think we have so much.
Yet, in truth?
We. have. NOTHING.
Everyday passes us by.
Days where we love,
are grateful,
care, help and communicate.
Even days we just don't care.
We forget that the time we have is borrowed.
Suddenly, one day having to leave we become paralysed.
Marking the world in ways unimaginable.
Leaving an impression.
Forever imprinted on the hearts and souls of others.

To the people who have recently left me behind in this world:
You have inspired me in so many different ways.
For that I say thank you.

Eu amo te minha tia. Sempre vou lembrar de ti.
Beijinhos, abracinhos e drom bem.

The little things

Can you remember all the little things? I can. We go through life ignoring the little things, the smallest of memories so I'm here to remind you of a few. I know you could do with this right now.

Can you remember when we first met? I spent almost four days ignoring you and somewhere on the third day music brought us together. After that came the first visit to my house. I remember you were still into all your crap back then. My gosh how you have changed. That first day you made yourself at home. We spoke for hours. As I shared my secrets the sun disappeared under the horizon and the moon gave rise to the night. We didn't even bother switching the lights on.

Time went on and we danced into and out of our friendship, fighting back and forward. I don't seem so weak now, do I? I remember times when you used to warn me that being your friend was a bad idea but, look who is here for you in the end? Even after all the crap we went through.

You were there for me my first break up and have been there every break up since. Keeping me on solid ground and out of the sky. You understand my process when things like this happen. You know that I will tidy every bit of my bedroom unless I'm stopped. I remember My first break-up when you got to my house I was emotionless, quiet and robotic in my process. You watched me unpack my entire cupboard, unfold and re-fold all my clothes. Eventually you grabbed my wrists pulled me into a hug and just let me cry. I would have been somewhat lost without you.

Then last year you gave me Valentine's Day (so far the best one I've ever had). I remember you bought my sister the cutest bracelet (which she still loves) because it was her party. With the little kids inside we ventured outside and sat dangerously on the railing of my deck and spoke for hours. You were wearing one of your dad's stripped shirts and black pants. Your hair, messy, as always. I have always loved having someone to continuously talk to. I can talk to you for hours and not get bored. It's refreshing.

Can you still remember our walks to the park at the bottom of the road. How about the rude, arrogant and self-centered British guy who confronted us there? There are so many things I could remind you about my friend, like the mosquitoes that attacked my feet while we were on the bridge near the park. You spent that entire week at my place (going home at night to sleep). Somewhere near the end of that week I made dinner for you and my family. Roast pork and vegetables.

You were even there on my 18th, on the 22nd Dec 2009. You came over just to share a drink with me after work.

Anyway, those are just a few of the little things I thought I'd remind you of to get a smile on that face...

Luv ya and thanks for always being there...

Confusion

Something in the darkness of my mind reflects light yet there are no shadows.
A way in which, in light, darkness can not be overcome.
Shadows within my heart are aroused by the lack of shadowss crowding my thoughts and the sensations I feel strengthen because nothing exists in an everlasting quantity.
I live in a world where cerntainty and uncertainty colide, giving rise to problems we all face but choose to ignore.
There has always been uncertainty surrounding Euphoria yet, the most certain thing in the world (war), is what's preventing Euphoria from becoming a certainty.
The struggle between good and bad, light versus dark within the world is everpresent but, somehow they are cosmically balanced.
The fading sun gives way to the dark of night. The dawning day flooding the shadow children of the moon.
Balancing the world. We work in harmony.
By creating an equilibrium between everything around us we create nothing.
Some will say that nothing is just that. Empty space that is availabe to eventually be occupied.
I say nothings is fact.
It exists beacuse if it didn't nothing, would infact be truth.

One of those days

Have you ever had 'One of Those Days' where your day starts out perfect and then somewhat goes for a ball of poop?
Well, I'm having "one of those days". It's horrible how everything in the world has to evolve around good and bad, every action having an opposite reaction and consequence. In plain language, life sucks, no matter which way you turn.

Ok. Enough negativity! The world works in a circle. We live our lives in a circle. The Circle of life as it is so perfectly put in The Lion King. We wake up and go to sleep everyday as the sun and the moon pass us by but, we never seem to appreciate those moments in our lives where life seems to stand still. I experienced a few of them this morning, did you?

I woke up this morning with the intention of going downstairs and drinking a coffee just like every other morning but, then I decided to go back up stairs (forgeting about my cuppaccino, ew cold coffee) and went on Facebook chat on Android (which I wasn't going to do because it cost me heaps). I diverged from my circular path and because I did that, time stood still for hours while I chatted with one of the most amazing people in my life right now. The small sacrifice of not going about my day as usual for a perfect morning greating and a loving conversation (the small things). Hours passed and I never realised because of how beautiful thoses moments were. Small and insignificant but, the part of my day that i will remember for ages to come. Btw thank you my special person :) Love you <3

Now it is evening and shortly I will be heading off to bed soon, back on the path of my ever diverging circle that rotates itself around the universe and beyond. So why don't you take a leap of faith and just for one day diverge from your circle and make it a square and appreciate those moments in life where time stands still :)
