Youtube Rocks!
I just watched some clips - go check them out! There's a september 11 tribute by Enya, there's Jaci Velasquez's music video of ' On my knees', both of which are poignant, and the sept 11 one is pretty heart wrenching.
Also, if you type in 'philosophy', there's one about life and death. Thats whimsical and quite thought provoking. Also, there's 'making love out of nothing at all' by air supply and Coach Carter's monologue on 'Our Deepest Fear' speech.
I love this new quote! Its by Parole de Femme which means 'Woman's word'
'i said to my sister, or she said to me, come over. Shall we play laughter? We stretched out side by side on a bed and began. By pretending, of course. Forced laughter. Laughable laughter. Laughter so laughable it made us laugh. Then it came, real laughter, total laughter taking us into its immense tides.
Burst of repeated , rushing, unleashed laughter...and we laugh our laughter to the infinity of laughter. O laughter! Laughter of sensual pleasure, sensual pleasure of laughter; to laugh is to live profoundly.'
Sounds cheem and wise and hilarious all at once. I dunno why but as much as i have difficulties completely devouring Kundera's books, im still constantly addicted to reading them. He's just so damn brilliant and makes so much relevance.
Another tiny attempt at poetry. Haha..wanted to do one from some time back, but took me almost an hour to get inspired.
Its a square with a ceiling and a floor.
There's no one but me and the front door.
I put me here, with my whys and my whats.
A question's bewilderment becomes a soul's entrapment.
There's a window.
They call it opportunity.
I call it community.
Its a daunting task to look at the picturesque view outside,
when i've become used to the darkness inside.
What are the shackles and chains?
Its the metal fear and cold steel of human stains.
So tell me when will i see the light?
When its so hard to tell the difference between day and night.
But a soul's cage has a weak foundation.
All one needs is a sincere cry for liberation.
The bars of anger and unforgiveness,
will melt with the heat of passion and graciousness.
It is a splendid world, no?
An enormous planet made tiny by a love that glows
Its in their smiles, its in their eyes;
A toothless grin, a hearty laugh,
its a joy that walks into a stanger's heart.
How did we become so stupid, really?
To shun love's creativity?
Friend and family, earth and sea,
songs and the literary..
Those were all love's creativity.
Love is colourful, we made it grey.
With all the questions that ultimately threw what was important, away.
So what is important, the question goes.
Perhaps not as important as WHO, is what we must know.
Yet, when we answer with a me and my,
we've lost the real reason why.
Why oh why did Jesus die..
Just so that we can live according to the me-s and my-s?
A perspective on the world,
thats who philosophers say we are
So make it a spectacular perspective,
is the plan.
The plan to make love, expand.
