B+ ---- cuddle up with life.

These days i am reading a book called learning to breathe by Alison wright, i highly recommend it. In it i read a quote I really liked so I ll put it up here.

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin----- But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. " Alfred D. Souza

Life;

Standing by the seashore breathing the salty spray

Let the wind catch in your hair; play with it.

Running wildly into the waves;

listening to the seagulls song.

Catch the snow flake on your tongue

laugh so hard that you feel your sides bursting.

Hear the bubbly laughter of children

smile at a stranger

tell a friend they are needed

Love, DREAM, hope and Wonder

See the ripples in the pond the breeze makes

Wish on a shooting star, watch a blooming rose.

This is what life is

Dont forever be looking in the shadows

looking out the window

keep wondering if the grass is greener on the other side

things have to be a certain way before life can begin

this is your life, right now, right here

cuddle up with it, live it to the fullest.

Dreams

Dreams that weave;

their silky webs.

Soft and tangly

webby and sticky

Dreams that drone like flies

buzz in your head

make you cry;

on a lazy summer afternoon

Dreams like blue bottles

smashed against the shores of conciousness

their bellies full of juices

lost forever

Dreams like noisy children

sitting, standing laughing on the bus

Dreams like soapy bubbles of the dishwasher

Dreams which are loud

some which are quite

like the gentle breadth of a sleeping child

When we steel someones dreams

we rob him of his all

He is alone now

Left with wide vacant eyes,

no hope no dreams

Nothing-----

This poem was inspired by a quote I had read by Carrol Spinney (big bird)

The most important lesson I've learnt is that first you have to dream, and than you have to believe in your dreams; that is the only way for them to come true. There will be set backs and disappointments, but do not let them deter you from your plans, your beliefs, your dreams. Dare to dream if you don't your dreams will never come to be. Imagine your world the way you want it to be, than try to make it that way. That is what big bird teaches on sesame street, and that's what I've learnt from playing him. Dream on -----
