Take my hand

2008-01-08T21:04:00.000+01:00

Touch my skin, and tell me what you’re thinking
Take my hand and show me where we’re going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you’re seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I’m telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart and show me, show me what you’re doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you
I know you’ll find that you believe me
You believe me

Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you’re thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you
I know you’ll find that you believe me
You believe me

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home, Broken home
Black-eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss

Love is blindness

2008-01-04T20:08:00.000+01:00

Love is blindness
I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love

(Love is blindness - U2)

Vanity Fair

2008-01-02T20:39:00.000+01:00

My, oh my, little girl, you should give just what you can.
To the world, to your sisters, to those arms of a loving man,
To your bliss, to your future, to your memories and prayers,
Cos it's cold and it's changing, yeah, this place called
Vanity Fair.

My, oh my, little brother, can I look you in the eye,
Do you know what you're saying is a half remember lie?
Handed down, half forgotten, re-believed and upside down,
Are you sure that you get it now you live in Vanity Town?

Vanity Fair, where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

Oh father, oh father, you said nothing of this fate.
Now you smile as you sit there and pretend it's not too late.
I said why could you not tell me what it was that I would find.
Bt it's alright, I forgive you cos I know how you lost your mind.

Vanity Fair where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

Oh now what will we suffer? To what fate will we be forced?
On this path was there no other way we could have got it worse?
Yes I see it now a pageanry that comes to Vanity fair,
But I'm sad to say it came too late, and now I just don't care about

Vanity Fair, where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on

We concede

A me ricordi il mare
e non per le vacanze
che abbiamo fatto insieme
Ma per il tuo ondeggiare
tra il gesto di chi afferra
e quello di chi si trattiene
Ci sono validi motivi per cui dovrei evitare di dirtelo
ma dal momento che mi scrivi dirò
che l'ho capito da subito
perché sei?
perché sei tu che quando arrivi sorridi
e a me mi gira benissimo
e sempre tu che se decidi ti giri
e mi pugnali in un attimo
così succede che mi pare che va bene
e invece non va
e se migliora allora peggiorerà
oppure
sono sicuro che va male arrivo di là
e te lo dico tu mi dici "ma va"?
e ancora
a me succede che va bene
e invece non va
e se migliora allora peggiorerà
oppure
sono sicuro che va male arrivo di là
e te lo dico tu mi dici "ti va"?
ma io così non vado avanti
Mi ricordi il mare
non per i riflessi
per il sugo andato a male
il qualunquismo dei discorsi
sotto l'ombrellone
il sudoku che non torna
e quello che era scritto a penna
è già da cancellare
è come l'amore
va di tasca in tasca come l'accendino vuole
ti ritorna quando non hai niente da appicciare
se escludiamo il poco che rimane
ancora ancora ancora
Baci, baci ed abbracci
che diventano lacci
e più diventano stretti
più nascondono impicci
come un cane ti accucci
sui tuoi poveri stracci
e piano piano vai giù
come un programma di Socci
piano piano vai giù
ma poco dopo risorgi
solo che non ti accorgi
dei sorrisi posticci
dei pensieri che scacci
delle cose che lasci
per banali capricci
Mi ricordi il mare
Non per gli ombrelloni
Per la fila in tangenziale
Il malfunzionamento del mio condizionatore
la discesa libera sui sassi senza aver le scarpe
per fare i fricchettoni
Questo è un po' il sapore
del tutto compreso
inclusa la consumazione
io l'ho già bevuta
eppure ho ancora troppa sete
soprattutto quando tu mi uccidi
ancora ancora
Quello di chi si trattiene
a me ricordi il mare
e non per le vacanze
che abbiamo fatto insieme
ma per il tuo ondeggiare
tra il gesto di chi afferra
e quello di chi si trattiene

I just don't know what to do with myself

2007-12-04T11:17:00.000+01:00

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
movies only make me sad
parties make me feel as bad
cause I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away

well I don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through

to beat love away

High

2007-11-26T18:37:00.000+01:00

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

She's in fashion

2007-11-15T14:08:00.000+01:00

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
And she's the colour of a magazine

And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh
And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh

She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine

Ah Ah
And if she tells you two is one
Then two is one my love
Ah Ah
And if she tells you you should know
Then you should know my love

She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of the gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette

The sunshine will blow my mind
And the wind blows my brain

(She's in fashion - Suede)

Nine million bicycles

2007-11-12T08:44:00.000+01:00

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!

Somewhere only we know

2007-11-07T09:39:00.000+01:00

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.

So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,

Running Up

2007-11-05T08:08:00.000+01:00

It doesn't hurt me.
You want to feel, how it feels?
You want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You want to hear about the deal I'm making.
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
Get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby

So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me, won't be unhappy

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could

Come on, baby, come on, come on, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
Come on angel, come on, come on, darling,
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could, be running up that hill

Non sei (la) sola

2007-10-25T10:40:00.000+02:00

Come il fuoco ridà i contorni del buio come corda che lega ma non stringe più un incontro rapito che fa straripare la mia mente brividi e passioni assolvono le colpe che ho, non andare via rimani qui sta notte non parlare più so cosa pensi.

Non sei sola, cerca dentro te c'è calore come lo vorrei non sei sola sotto la cenere si sta svegliando quel calore ci scotterà

Te sienti a sula ma nu si sula guarda de intra a tie e poi hai bessire sincera, nu stai a sula nu te sentire sula camina a 'nanzi a mie nu fa' passa' sta sira ca ncete nu calore comu quiddhru ca ulia moi sutta la cinere focu ca ne scarfa se tie oi icinu a mie ieu e tie quai tutti e ddoi nu te sentire sula chiamame' nu me n'au chiui.

Non sei sola....

Comu la rocia te lu fuecu ne consumamu ardennu lu core e li pensieri ca tenimu, scarfannu lu tiempu te la notte ca passa chianu chianu l'ecchi su la luce cu ni capimu. E nu c'e' chiu' buju cu ne scunnimu quiddhri ca simu quannu tutti e doi ne amamu te le paure ca tenimu ne spujamu cussi' insieme stu tiempu lu vivimu buenu.

Ca la passione è forte ca ne face mpaccire puru quannu tra nui le cose nu stannu a scire, emozioni ca a parole nu se potenu spiegare se stamu insieme se potenu capire, usandu stu momentu per l'amore facimu te sta notte na notte speciale usandu stu momentu per l'amore uniti intra na sula cosa cu piacere.

Non sei sola...

Cercame intra lu core ca stau sempre a ddhrai cu cercu calore, quiddhru ca sulamente tie me sai tare quiddhru ca finelmente m' ha fattu capire ca nuddhra distanza ne po' separare, ca se chiutu l'ecchi gia' te possu tuccare e sentu ce provi e ce pueti pensare quannu stai sula cercame intra lu core

Non sei sola....

Pensi di essere sola ma una luce t'illumina il cuore ti dà la forza quando pensi di non poterlo fare scopri di avere un sentimento che come un vento ti trascina via....

E il tessitore chiese: "Parlaci dei Vestiti".
Ed egli rispose:
"I vestiti coprono gran parte della vostra bellezza, eppure non nascondono ciò che non è bello.
E benchè cerchiate nei vestiti un'intima libertà, potreste trovare in essi briglie e catene.
Vorrei che voi incontraste il sole e il vento più con la pelle e meno sul vestito,
Perché il soffio della vita è nella luce del sole, e la mano della vita sta nel vento.

Alcuni di voi dicono: "E' il vento del nord che ha tessuto i vestiti che portiamo".
E io vi dico, si, che è stato il vento del nord,
Ma la vergogna è stato il suo telaio e la mollezza la sua trama.
E, quando fu compiuta la fatica, il vento allora rise in mezzo alla foresta.
E non dimenticate che il pudore è uno scudo contro lo sguardo dell'impuro.
E, quando l'impuro sparirà, cosa mai sarà il pudore se non un vincolo che impiglia la mente?
E non dimenticate che la terra ama sentire il vostro piede nudo e il soffio del vento gode a giocare con i capelli".

La sola chiave

2007-10-19T10:05:00.000+02:00

Ora lo sai cosa farò
Mentre pian piano annodo stretta la mia anima
In questo momento non mi arrenderò
Forse è un inutile spiraglio ma non resta che scegliere
E lentamente io rivedrò
Come fotografie da un album da dividere
Torto o ragione non esiterà
A vivere ancora di quel sogno che già sembra impossibile

Capirai, nel silenzio dell'anima
Tutto il senso di questa mia favola
Anche se tu dimenticherai
Sarà l'unica storia fantastica ma irraggiungibile senza di te
Un giorno sai ti penserò
Non passa in fretta il vuoto delle solitudine
Vago nel tempo mi chiederò
Se è solo il segno di un amore che non lascia da vivere

Quando arrivi sei la mia musica
Non esiste più la noia della città
Rendi l'atmosfera più magica
Sei la sola chiave per uscire da qua
Non mi divido da te ma non mi legherei io sarò su una nuvola
E quando ritornerò giù ti colorerò l'anima
I tuoi occhi grandi come il giorno

Il tuo profumo lungo come il tempo
Le tue lacrime senza casa
Le tue arie da fata infinita
Sembra impossibile lasciarmi dietro quello che
Inconfondibile il tuo sguardo perso dentro me
Oltre ogni limite mi hai preso senza alcun perchè
Con questa storia che sarà l'unica senza di te.

(Senza di te - Roy Paci ft. Aretuska)

Spying Glass

You live in the city
You stay by yourself
You are invite all weakness
Still some people they brand you ya
Just because you are rasta
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You invite all company
When you check it in the new spying glass
They want to know all your business

You live in the city
You mind your own business
What you see you don't see
But some people they always see
They never mind their own business
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You think you're far from the weak
When you check it in your spying glass
They want to know rasta business

Spying Glass!
Spying Glass!
Yeah

Atom and cell

2007-10-03T15:35:00.000+02:00

Her skin was darker than ashes
And she had something to say
Bout being naked to the elements
At the end of yet another day
And the rain on her back that continued to fall
From the bruise of her lips
Swollen, fragile, and small

And the bills that you paid with were worth nothing at all
A lost foreign currency
Multi-coloured, barely reputable
Like the grasses that blew in the warm summer breeze
Well she offered you this to do as you pleased

And where is the poetry?
Didn’t she promise us poetry?

The redwoods, the deserts, the tropical ease
The swamps and the prairie dogs, the Joshua trees
The long straight highways from dirt road to tar
Hitching your wheels to truck, bus, or car

And the lives that you hold in the palm of your hand
You toss them aside small and damn near unbreakable
You drank all the water and you pissed yourself dry
Then you fell to your knees and proceeded to cry

And who could feel sorry for a drunkard like this
In a democracy of dunces with a parasites kiss?

And where are the stars?
Didn’t she promise us stars?

Nothing will ever be as it was
The price has been paid with a thousand loose shoes
Pictures are pasted on shop windows and walls
Like a poor mans Boltanski
Lost one and all.

Sell, sell
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell

I found the way

By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice

Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun Earthbound
Starblind Tied to someone

Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything
Everything

Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face

We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun Earthbound
starblind Tied to someone

Speed of light

2007-09-20T09:29:00.000+02:00

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light,
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up.

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
While others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant,
Some things you can invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh-ooh

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand.

Love is a losing game

2007-09-17T16:42:00.000+02:00

For you I was a flame,
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came,
Love is losing game

One I wish I never played,
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band,
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand,
Love is a losing hand

Self professed profound
Til' the chips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Tho' I battled blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds,
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game

2007-08-28T16:13:00.000+02:00

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Rehab

2007-08-27T19:06:00.000+02:00

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go

I’d rather be at home with Ray
I ain’t got 70 days
Cos there’s nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn from Mr. Hathaway

Didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know know know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go

The man said "why do you think you here?"
I said "I got no idea"

I’m gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
He said "I just think you’re depressed"
Just me, yeah baby, and the rest

They tried to make me go to rehab I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back, you'll know, know, know

I don’t ever want to drink again
I just, ooh just need a friend
I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I’m on the mend

it’s not just my pride
It’s just till these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black and when I come back, you'll know know know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
They tried to make me go to rehab I won’t go, go, go

(Rehab - Amy Winehouse)

The same deep water as You

2007-08-17T09:56:00.000+02:00

kiss me goodbye
pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try
swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than we"
you breathe
the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together... "

"kiss me goodbye
bow your head and join with me"
and face pushed deep
reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips
and disappear
the ripples clear
and laughing
break against your feet
and laughing
break the mirror sweet
"so we shall be together... "

"kiss me goodbye"
pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now
the strangest twist upon your lips
but i don't see
and i don't feel
but tightly hold up silently
my hands before my fading eyes
and in my eyes
your smile
the very last thing before i go...

i will kiss you i will kiss you
i will kiss you forever on nights like this
i will kiss you i will kiss you
and we shall be together...

(The Same Deep Water as You - The Cure)

Work Hard

2007-08-16T09:30:00.000+02:00

You've got to work hard, you've got to work hard
If you want anything at all
You've got to work hard, you've got to work hard
If you want anything at all

Nothing comes easy
And that's a fact
Nothing comes easy
But a broken back

(Work Hard - Depeche Mode)

Io, venditore

2007-08-14T09:13:00.000+02:00

io, venditore di fumo,
come poeta,
per giudizio
del freddo Capitale
o ginnico parolaio,
ad udir barbe erudite
che fan l’amore
col Devoto-Oli
o vana entità del mondo
per gli strateghi del sociale,
ma in quale modo,
se non in poesia,
render potrei
il tumulto dei ricordi,
l’altalena dei miei dubbi,
l’estetismo dell’amore?
E allora fo
voli pindarici,
brutti o belli che siano,
che son io a rimetterci
con la pelle e i sogni…
“tanto ci sarà sempre
un teorete, un Bertoncelli,
un prete
a sparare cazzate”

(Io, venditore - Mario Vecchione (dall’Avvelenata di F. Guccini”)

Il ricordo di una nuvola

2007-08-10T08:34:00.000+02:00

Il bacio colpisce come la folgore, l'amore passa come un temporale, poi la vita torna a calmarsi come il cielo e ricomincia come prima.

Si può ricordare una nuvola?

(Guy Maupassant)

Celebrate your life

2007-07-26T19:30:00.000+02:00

where is the hope today

and where is the passion?
it seemed just like yesterday
love was in fashion

a rumour that was spread around
all the answers had been found
and then it felt like moving on
and suddenly was gone

you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration

do you dream of better days
gazing through a purple haze
bathed in ultra-violet rays
or do you want your conscience raised?

you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration

you've got the power, power to be strong
an education that should be lifelong
so don't be a victim of expectation
just make your own life a celebration

you want a reason, i'll give you reason...

(Celebrate your life - The Beloved)

I love you (but you are boring)

2007-07-24T12:15:00.000+02:00

Birds are singing in the trees
As we rise up on a beautiful morning
But I can't hear
That beautiful sound
Because I'm permanently yawning

What about the time of the fancy dress
When you came dressed as your mum
And there I was splendid in my penguin suit
So scared to show my bill

You must have been listening to your Carousel
Your Carousel, that Carousel

Remember the time
When I turned the house into a rocket ship
And you refused to come to Mars
You said "It's too far"
You had to be back by six to watch your Carousel
Saturn's much too far
You had to watch Carousel (What's going on in there?)

When we first met
I asked you for your hand
I didn't really mean that hand
I meant join hands
Bake phallic cake (Bake phallic cake)
Carry round sticky tape
And love those devil dogs
Be an Indian elephant (Be an Indian elephant)
Bait straight people
But you must have missed my wink
You must have missed my wink

(I love you,
But you're boring, you know,
I really do love you
But you're so particularly boring)

Maybe you were too busy listening to Carousel
watching Carousel, living Carousel
You were listening to Carousel
You were watching Carousel

(I love you (but you are boring) - The Beautiful South)

Window In The Skies

2007-07-17T10:05:00.000+02:00

The shackles are undone
The bullet’s quit the gun
The heat that’s in the sun
Will keep us when theres none
The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The GRAVE is now a groove
All debts are removed

Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
What it’s doing to me

Love makes strange enemies
Makes love well love may please
The soul in a striptease
Hate brought to its knees
The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
If let me in your heart
And out of my head

Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
Oh can’t you see what our love has done
What it’s doing to me

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Please don’t ever let me out of here

I’ve got no shame
Oh no, oh no

Oh can’t you see what love has done
Oh can’t you see
Oh can’t you see what love has done
What it’s doing to me

I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder you and I
Our love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Oh can’t you see what love has done
To every broken heart
Oh can’t you see what love has done
For every heart that cries

Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Oh can’t you see

(Window In The Skies - U2)

Painters

2007-07-13T09:47:00.000+02:00

Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by
They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago.
When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait
A thousand times-or maybe just his smile-
And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.
Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall
He put water-colored roses in her hair
He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine,
the sunset too
I just want to give you everything as beautiful as you are to me
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.
So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, an art to live by
They painted every, passion every home, created every beautiful child
in the winter they were weavers of warmth,
in summer they were carpenters of love
They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow
'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves
A lovely world.
Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil
And in her heart she knew something was wrong
She went running
through the orchard screaming,
'No God, don't take him from me!,'
But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had gone
She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her
She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me
with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits
to remind me!
He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand
I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands
Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still
My body may die now, but these paintings are real.'
So many seasons came and many seasons went
and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers,
talking to the trees and singing to his children
And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening,
and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her
when she was crying
'Cause they were painters and they had painting themselves
A lovely world.
Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch
Watching the clouds roll by, they remind her of her lover
how he left her and of times long ago, when she used to color carelessly,
Painted his portrait a thousand times, or maybe just his smile,
and she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go
Yes, she and her canvas still follow
Because they are painters and they are painting themselves
A lovely world

Standing in your shadow

2007-07-12T11:49:00.000+02:00

There I was, just standing in your shadow,

Just standing in your pool of shade venere.
Here I am, still yellowed by the summer,
Still suffering in silence loud and clear.

Well I catch the train, it takes me back
We leave the rails and the carriage snaps.

There I was, just lying in the kitchen,
Just listening to voices through the tiles.
And they said the one thing you can count on,
Is you can count on nothing here my child.

Well you dig my grave, and pat my back,
And I turn grey, on the beaten track.

But you hardly notice.

What do you say when they roll a grenade
And it almost takes your breath away.
Talking to Joe with the head of a crow
And it all goes pear-shaped.

There I was, just standing in your shadow,
Just suffering in silence loud and clear.

(Standing in your shadow - Puressence)

Trashed

2007-07-11T09:44:00.000+02:00

I’m like a soldier
With no cause to fight
Playing with bar boys
To test you just right

I watch your features
I check for a sign
Of some kind of failure
Then I feel sublime

Now I know I have to live without you
I can only bend so far
Guess it’s time to make some moves
without you
Now you’ve gone and trashed my heart

Solid demeanour
I look good a feat
Still I’m too vicous
To take on defeat

Yes I hear
You don’t feel this any more
I see
There’s nothing to believe in anymore
Just two snitches on heat
Still avoiding the grief
Because it felt so hard

(Trashed - Skin)

Illusioni parallele

2007-07-05T10:49:00.000+02:00

Un uomo crede di essere nel giusto e si sente più sicuro
Un altro invece sa che sta sbagliando ma segue il suo cammino

Tra i due non c’è nessun contatto ma un unico destino
Dividere ogni giorno l’esperienza di illusioni parallele.

(Illusioni parallele - Tiromancino)

Vivere

2007-07-04T09:35:00.000+02:00

Vivere non è accettare tutto, ma scegliere, sfrondare, sacrificare. La linfa dell'albero sale solo quando i rami sono stati potati.

Emily, I love you

2007-06-29T14:07:00.000+02:00

I hope it's something worth the waiting
'Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunderstorms could never stop me
'Cause there's no one in the world like Emily

(Emily - From first to last)

Look up

2007-06-27T09:17:00.000+02:00

Guarda in alto
Senza corpo, piena libertà
Possedendo solo aria
E sarà il vento che ci parlerà
Guarda in alto
Il cielo é anima
Niente più bisogno di aspettare
Il domani per dimenticare ieri
Senza tempo ho tempo di parlarti sai
Sto sognando ti prego non svegliarmi adesso
Guarda in alto

(Guarda in alto - Casino Royale)

Where is your mind?

2007-06-21T18:24:00.000+02:00

Non ci sono
parole.
Non ci sono
note.
Non ci sono
tratti, né segni, né colori.
Non ci sono
vite, né lacrime, né viaggi.
Non ci sono
precipizi, né abissi, né aridi prati.
Non ci sono
immagini cancellate, né immaginate, né vissute con il sangue.
Non ci sono
spilli, né tagli, né squarci.
Non ci sono
desideri, né preghiere, né canti.
Non ci sono
morti, né disperazioni, né grida.
Non ci sono
cieli e mari e onde.
Non c'è niente di tutto questo che possa dirlo o anche minimamente spiegarlo.
Eppure...

(Un poeta)

La giovinezza del vecchio

2007-06-18T08:54:00.000+02:00

La giovinezza è felice perché ha la capacità di vedere la bellezza. Chiunque sia in grado di mantenere la capacità di vedere la bellezza non diventerà mai vecchio.

Qpid

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So...

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid with your arrow make a love storm for me
I promise I will lover her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid, don't you hear me
Calling you
I need you
Cupid
Help me

(Cupid - Sam Cooke)

Dark Shines

2007-06-06T09:09:00.000+02:00

Passing by, you light up my darkest skies
You'll take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine and your innocence
I will consume

Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good

Hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes
Suppress your fears
So be mine and your innocence
I will consume

Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good

Your dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good

(Dark shines - Muse)

Spy

I'm a spy in the house of love.
I know the dream that you're dreaming of.
I know the word that you long to hear.
I know your deepest secret fear.
I'm a spy in the house of love.
I know the dream that you're dreaming of.
I know the word that you long to hear.
I know your deepest secret fear.
I know everything.
Everything you do, everywhere you go, everyone you know.
I'm a spy, in the house of love.
I know the dream that you're dreaming of.
I know the word that you long to hear.
I know your deepest secret fear.
I know your deepest secret fear.
I know your deepest secret fear.
I'm a spy, I can see, what you do, and I know.

Shadowplay

2007-05-27T16:15:00.000+02:00

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

(Shadowplay - Ian Curtis, aka Joy Division aka New Order)

Il destino di un ombrello

2007-05-26T15:46:00.000+02:00

Respiro l'aria di alberi morti,
parliamo con frasi a metà.
Dove ho lasciato Spensieratezza?
Copriamoci con discorsi
di carta.
Riflessi su specchi non
vedono altro, gli stessi che
credevano in me.

(Il destino di un ombrello - La Quiete)

Live Life

2007-05-25T17:47:00.000+02:00

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
'Cause when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through
All the hard times that's going to face you

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide
Slowly, internally, I'm dying
Pillow case is wet from all my crying
There is nothing more to be here for
Take me away, I can't live that life no more

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

This is the life, trying to survive
This is the life, trying to survive

I'm just trying to get over

(The life - Alicia Keys)

Inside

2007-05-21T17:23:00.000+02:00

Inside the doors are sealed to love
Inside my heart is sleeping
Inside the fingers of my glove
Inside the bones of my right hand
Inside it's colder than the stars
Inside the dogs are weeping
Inside the circus of the wind
Inside the clocks are filled with sand
Inside she'll never hurt me
Inside the winter's creeping
Inside the compass of the night
Inside the folding of the land

Outside the stars are turning
Outside the world's still burning

Inside my head's a box of stars I never dared to open
Inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall
Inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken
Inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call

Outside the rain keeps falling
Outside the drums are calling
Outside the flood won't wait
Outside they're hammering down the gate

Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
Love's an explosion,
Love is the fire of the world
Love is a violent star
A tide of destruction
Love is an angry scar
A violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation.

Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me
Inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place
Inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows
Inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face

Outside the walls are shaking
Inside the dogs are waking
Outside the hurricane won't wait
Inside they're howling down the gate

Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
Love's an explosion,
Love is the fire at the end of the world
Love is a violent star
A tide of destruction
Love is an angry scar
The pain of instruction
Love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation,
Love is annihilation.

I climb this tower inside my head
A spiral stair above my bed
I dream the stairs don't ask me why,
I throw myself into the sky

Love me like a baby, love me like an only child
Love me like an ocean, love me like a mother mild
Love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son
Love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun
Love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy,
Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy
Love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,
Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.

Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me,
mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me,
vindicate me, devastate me

Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun
Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run

Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me,
demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me,
conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me,
segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me.

(Sting)

Save me from myself

2007-05-18T19:54:00.000+02:00

It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you gotta be
Everything's changing
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through

And when I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waiting with
Your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
From myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself

My love is tainted by your touch
Well some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away

Don't ask me why I'm crying
'Cause when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself
From myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
And don't ask me why I love you

It's obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
A better woman to myself
To myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

(Cristina Aguilera)

Grattammill

Niente più carezze, disse il bagnasciuga
Grattami la schiena, disse la tartaruga
Ho il mio cucchiaino io per travasare il mare
fin qui tutto bene posso continuare
Ho una cicatrice, sembra un tatuaggio
Sai che cosa dice?

Avanti coraggio!

(Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo)

Illusione

2007-05-09T17:52:00.000+02:00

Fra poco arriverà
Cosa farò, non tarderà
Mi vestirò da sera
Che grande confusione
Dove saranno mai
Dove ho potuto perdere le scarpe nuove

Non trovo le collane
Ed il divano l’ha distrutto il cane

Ed io che assaporavo di già
Momenti di intimità, felicità

Povera me, che ora è
No, non c’è più tempo

Dispiacere immenso

Ma come ho potuto perdere quest’occasione
Mi troverà bruttissima senza le scarpe e senza le collane

A prendermi dei fiori sarà
Come mai non arriva
Oppure preferisce quel bar
E quegli strani amici

Ho perso l’illusione ormai di questo nostro grande amore
E rimarrò zitella con le scarpe nuove e tutte le collane

Ed io che assaporavo di già
Momenti di intimità, felicità
Povera me, che ora è
No, non c’è più tempo

Dispiacere immenso

Ma come ho potuto perdere quest’occasione
Mi troverà bruttissima senza le scarpe e senza le collane

Ho perso l’illusione ormai di questo nostro grande amore
Io rimarrò zitella con le scarpe nuove e tutte le collane

Le perle del cuore

2007-05-04T18:30:00.000+02:00

Luccica nel suo splendore abbagliante,
la mia nuova collana,
fatta di perle speciali che accecano la vista,
sono perle speciali che ho raccolto una ad una,
perle speciali che ho donato nel tempo spargendole qua e lá,
perle speciali che parlano di me,
c'é l'amore dei miei dolori dentro
e la gioia dei miei momenti felici.
Sono perle speciali e preziose,
dono sublime di emozioni e sensazioni,
sono le perle cadute dai miei occhi,
specchio della mia anima.
Sono perle del mio cuore.

(Meg)

In continuo movimento

2007-05-02T19:11:00.000+02:00

Tutto intorno a noi
è in continuo movimento
le cose, i sentimenti, le persone
niente rimane uguale a se stesso nel tempo.

Superiamo il dolore
ci abituiamo in fretta ai cambiamenti,
osservando la vita che scorre
nel susseguirsi di orizzonti di passaggio.

Tutto intorno a noi
è in continuo movimento
le cose, i sentimenti, le persone
niente rimane uguale a se stesso nel tempo.

In un fiore

2007-04-24T18:30:00.000+02:00

La bellezza che v'è
in un fiore
nel mattino,
è maggiore di quella
che può rendere un prisma;
sarà eterna ispirazione
per i profeti
ed i poeti.
v'è in esso qualcosa
che assomiglia
agli aspetti
della vita mortale:
vigore, appassimento,
alle sue epoche e al suo destino.

(Maria Pia Gasperini)

Amandoti

2007-04-23T19:09:00.000+02:00

Amarti m'affatica mi svuota dentro
Qualcosa che assomiglia a ridere nel pianto

Amarti m'affatica mi da' malinconia
Che vuoi farci è la vita
E' la vita, la mia

Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Un anno un mese un'ora perdutamente

Amarti mi consola le notti bianche
Qualcosa che riempie vecchie storie fumanti

Amarti mi consola mi dá allegria
Che vuoi farci è la vita
E' la vita, la mia

Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Un anno un mese un'ora perdutamente

Amami ancora fallo dolcemente
Solo per un'ora perdutamente

Aspetta chi ha aspettato
Che sia compiuta l'attesa di chi attende
Non sono strutturato
In modo di poter reggere per molto tempo ancora

Sotto la calma apparente
Di un assordante frastuono
Dissonanze chiassose e confuse
Armonie affannate e sconnesse
Leggere increspature agli orli

Ho dato al mio dolore (Aspetta chi ha aspettato)
La forma di parole abusate (Che sia compiuta l'attesa di chi attende)
Che mi prometto di non pronunciare mai più (Non sono strutturato)
(In modo di poter reggere per molto tempo ancora)

Alimentare catena implacabile
Pause tranquille atte alla digestione
Intransigenze mute
Rabbiose devozioni

Ho dato al mio dolore
La forma di parole abusate
Che mi prometto di non pronunciare mai più

Ho dato al mio dolore
La forma di abusate parole
Lasciando perdere attese ritorni
Ho aperto gli occhi dall'orlo increspato

Ho visto un'alba blu

(C.S.I.)

Metà

2007-04-18T20:46:00.000+02:00

L'inizio è la metà di tutto.

(Platone)

Non sto pensando a niente

2007-04-14T14:26:00.001+02:00

Non sto pensando a niente,
e questa cosa centrale, che a sua volta non è niente,
mi è gradita come l'aria notturna,
fresca in confronto all'estate calda del giorno.
Che bello, non sto pensando a niente!
Non pensare a niente
è avere l'anima propria e intera.
Non pensare a niente
è vivere intimamente
il flusso e riflusso della vita...
Non sto pensando a niente.
E' come se mi fossi appoggiato male.
Un dolore nella schiena o sul fianco,
un sapore amaro nella bocca della mia anima:
perché, in fin dei conti,
non sto pensando a niente,
ma proprio a niente,
a niente...

(Fernando Pessoa)

Ritratto

2007-04-12T18:09:00.001+02:00

Superba, bella e misteriosa,
le labbra schernenti e la fronte orgogliosa,
lo sguardo pieno di passione ardente
e sulle tue spalle cade
un ampio fascio di capelli d'oro.

Ti vedevo felice e serena.
Ti vedevo nelle notti alzarti di scatto
dal letto afoso con capelli arruffati,
ti vedevo cento volte, sempre peró
superba, bella e misteriosa.

(H. Hesse)

Quale decisione prendere

2007-02-27T19:05:00.000+01:00

Non possiamo sapere cosa ci potrà accadere nello strano intreccio della vita. Noi però possiamo decidere cosa deve accadere dentro di noi, come possiamo affrontare le cose, e quale decisione prendere, e in fin dei conti è ciò che veramente conta.

(J. F. Newton)

Pensare

2007-02-22T18:56:00.000+01:00

Pensare é spaziare nell'infinito.

La tragedia delle foglie

2007-02-19T14:17:00.001+01:00

Mi destai alla siccità e le felci erano morte,
le piante in vaso gialle come grano;
la mia donna era sparita
e i cadaveri dissanguati delle bottiglie vuote
mi cingevano con la loro inutilità;
c'era ancora un bel sole, però,
e il biglietto della padrona ardeva d'un giallo caldo
e senza pretese; ora quello che ci voleva
era un buon attore, all'antica, un burlone capace di scherzare
sull'assurdità del dolore; il dolore è assurdo
perché esiste, solo per questo;
sbarbai accuratamente con un vecchio rasoio
l'uomo che un tempo era stato giovane e,
così dicevano, geniale; ma
questa è la tragedia delle foglie,
le felci morte, le piante morte;
ed entrai in una sala buia
dove stava la padrona di casa
insultante e ultimativa,
mandandomi all'inferno,
mulinando i braccioni sudati
e strillando
strillando che voleva i soldi dell'affitto
perché il mondo ci aveva tradito
tutt'e due.

(Charles Bukowski)

Legami

Guardami adesso

2007-01-29T20:23:00.000+01:00

L'anima di una persona è nascosta nel suo sguardo, per questo abbiamo paura di farci guardare negli occhi.

Tutta la luce che ho

2007-01-25T19:30:00.000+01:00

Quando camminiamo fino al limite di tutta la luce che abbiamo, e facciamo un passo nell'oscurità del non conosciuto, dobbiamo credere che accada una di queste due cose. Ci sarà qualcosa di solido in cui mettere il piede, o ci verrà insegnato a volare.

(Patrick Overto)

Come un dio

2007-01-23T19:20:00.000+01:00

A me pare uguale agli dei chi a te vicino
cosí dolce suono ascolta
mentre tu parli e ridi amorosamente.
Subito a me il cuore si agita nel petto
solo che appena ti veda
e la voce si perde nella lingua inerte.
Un fuoco sottile affiora rapido alla pelle,
e ho buio negli occhi
e il rombo del sangue nelle orecchie.
E tutta in sudore e tremante
come erba patita scoloro:
e morte non pare lontana
a me rapita di mente.

("A me pare uguale agli dei" - Saffo)

Guarda lontano

2007-01-17T18:39:00.000+01:00

Le scene della nostra vita sono come rozzi mosaici.

Guardate da vicino non producono nessun effetto, non ci si può vedere niente di bello finché non si guardano da lontano.

(Arthur Schopenhauer)

Castello

2007-01-16T19:17:00.000+01:00

Nonostante tu possa estendere i tuoi campi all'infinito, non potrai mai mangiare più di tanto riso al giorno; e nonostante possa rendere la tua casa grande come un castello, quando ti sdraierai non occuperai più spazio di prima.

(Proverbio cinese)

Luce positiva

2007-01-10T09:38:00.000+01:00

Guardare gli eventi e le situazioni in una luce positiva è importante. La forza, la saggezza e la gioia che accompagnano un simile atteggiamento portano alla felicità. Guardare le cose con ottimismo o benevolenza non significa essere stupidamente ingenui e permettere agli altri di approfittare della nostra buona disposizione d'animo. Significa avere la saggezza e l'intuizione di muovere le cose in direzione positiva, considerandone l'aspetto migliore pur rimanendo concentrati sulla realtà.

(Daisaku Ikeda)

Goccia a goccia

2007-01-09T19:06:00.000+01:00

La conclusione logica del sacrificio di sé è che l'individuo si sacrifica per la comunità, la comunità si sacrifica per il distretto, il distretto per la provincia, la provincia per la nazione e la nazione per il mondo. Una goccia strappata dall'oceano perisce inutilmente. Se rimane parte dell'oceano, ne condivide la gloria di sorreggere una flotta di poderose navi.

(Gandhi)

Forza di volontá

L'intreccio dei fili

2006-12-08T18:22:00.000+01:00

La vita è come una stoffa ricamata della quale ciascuno nella propria metà dell'esistenza può osservare il diritto, nella seconda invece il rovescio: quest'ultimo non è così bello, ma più istruttivo, perchè ci fa vedere l'intreccio dei fili.

(Arthur Schopenhauer)

Got milk?

2006-12-07T18:33:00.000+01:00

Per chi è assetato, una sola goccia d'acqua è rinfrescante come la rugiada del mattino, ma per chi è già ubriaco un'intera bottiglia di vino è meno di niente.

Reazione

2006-11-30T20:35:00.000+01:00

Se state attraversando la strada e vi piomba addosso una macchina, non è importante stabilire se bisogna saltare avanti o indietro. E' importante scansare la macchina. Molte situazioni somigliano a questa, in quanto esigono una reazione immediata.

(Laurence Peter)

Felicitá

Bimbo mi chiedi cos'é l'amore?

Alzare le vele

2006-11-29T01:45:00.000+01:00

E adesso so che bisogna alzare le vele e prendere i venti del destino, ovunque spingano la barca. Dare un senso alla vita può condurre alla follia ma una vita senza senso è la tortura dell'irrequietudine e del vano desiderio.

(Edgard Lee Masters)
