We take a little of each other everywhere

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

Some stay for a while,



leave footprints on our hearts,

and we are never, ever the same.

Flavia Weedn

We all take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each other everywhere.

The wild and the tame

What should I do about the wild and the tame? [...]
(Come posso conciliare la natura selvaggia e quella domestica?[...])

[...] The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don't want to tell you where I am. [...]

([...] Il cuore selvaggio che anela alla libertà e il cuore domestico che vuole tornare a casa. Non voglio che tu ti avvicini troppo. Voglio che tu mi prenda in braccio e mi riporti a casa. Non voglio farti sapere dove sono. [...])

[...] I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you.
([...]Voglio un rifugio tra le rocce dove nessuno possa trovarmi. Voglio stare con te.)

Through

Always be yourself along the way,
living through the spirit of your dreams

I think I need to find a bigger place

When you want more than you have, you think you need;
when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place…
when you have more than you think, you need more space

Walking

Eso soy yo que al acaso
cruzo el mundo sin pensar
de dónde vengo ni a donde
mis pasos me llevarán.

The question, O me! So sad, recurring – What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer
That you are here – that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse

"O me!O life" - Walt Whitman

Breathe

Close your eyes...

breathe the air

I'm just a walker

I'm just one walker..
that's stood way up and looked way down across plenty old sights..
now they're veiled and naked as Caesar.
Sighting it, hearing it..
singing and feeling and breathing it in,
sucking down on it, rubbing it all in the pores of my skin
and the wind between my eyes..knocking honey in my comb.

(da "I'm not there")

Vento

Non esiste vento favorevole per il marinaio che non sadove andare

(Seneca)

Ma Seneca mancava di fantasia, l'ho sempre detto io!

In volo verso casa

Oh wont you stay... stay a while with your own ones
