FACE THE SEA

All my life

A redundant nightmare

Dreaming of the Sea

Huge waves approach me

Trying to run -but useless

Trying to move -but pointless

Then another night

The victorious night

I manage to face

The biggest one

Running towards it- just in time

Before the big break takes place

It’s the pleasure of swimming through

As I’ve always done

It’s the pleasure of getting rid

Of all the fears

All the panic

All the doubts…

Calmness comes back,

I’ve faced the Sea

AFFIRMATIONS OF THE WEEK (II)

In the hope these affirmations help us to lead a better life while we keep our contact with English...

It is a fundamental law of the universe that what we focus on grows. If we continually think about what we lack, that is what will grow for us. To achieve real prosperity we must learn to focus on what we have. Showing gratitude for what we have is one of the most powerful techniques for achieving prosperity.

OBSTACLES (poem)

Obstacles are our challenge in life.
With no obstacles ,
it woudn't be worth it;
we'd take everything for granted...
Obstacles are everywhere.
They've been there ever since
we were born.
Obstacles are like that big rock in the middle of the path we lead and follow.
Our aim is to learn how to save obstacles.

AFFIRMATIONS OF THE WEEK

Life is joy filled with

delightful surprises.

The more grateful I am,

the more reasons I find to be grateful.

I give out love

and it's returned

to be multiplied.

When I believe in myself

so do others.

I release any desperation

and allow love

to find me.

I trust in the process of life.

Thoughts in Pieces

• I've recently realized how much

I take after all of you , people...

Yet, who I'm makes such a big difference!

• Happines vanishes as soon as it comes up

And still I feel I deserve much more.

• 'Mum, did you notice a bird was singing when we woke up this morning?'

'Yes, son, it always does.'

'So why don't we ever listen to it?'

'Why should we?'

'I feel as if it's trying to tell us something.'

'I guess so... Maybe that there's always a reason to get up. One of them, and most important: we have each other.'

• Just a moment ago was 30 years ago.

In a minute it'll be the rest of my life.

KEEP TALKING ( Album > The Division Bell)

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now ___________ Why won't you talk to me?
I can't seem to speak now ____________ You never talk to me
My words won't come out right ___________ What are you thinking?
I feel like I'm drowning _____________ What are you feeling?
I'm feeling weak now ________________ Why won't you talk to me?
But I can't show my weakness _________ You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder ___________________ What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here _____________ What are you feeling?

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me? _____________ I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me? _________________ You know I can't breathe now
What are you thinking? ________________ We're going nowhere
What are you feeling? _________________ We're going nowhere

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking…
