“The snow began to fall again, drifting against the windows, politely begging entrance and then falling with
disappointment to the ground”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster
Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
Interestingly, having just watched The Sheltering Sky dvd with Debra Winger and John Malkovich (they star in it, they were not sitting with me watching it ), I found out that the author Paul Bowles plays the narrator, and the quote above is the last line in the film. He did not like the film and rewrote the forward to the book stating such.
“My songs come from a lot of my deep emotion, from the trials and tribulations that I’ve been through. Every lyric got a picture behind it. That’s why sometimes it gets very emotional for me". "I see a lot of hurt in people’s faces, and I see a lot of joy. That’s why I like going out to the public, hugging them, letting them know that I see it". ~ Charles Bradley, soul singer
“In your hands winter
is a book with cloud pages
that snow pearls of love.”
― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
