My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird —
equal seekers of sweetness.
Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums.
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.

Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,

which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished.
The phoebe, the delphinium.
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture.
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here,

which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart
and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy
to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam,
telling them all, over and over, how it is
that we live forever.

ALMA DE BOHEMIO
was written as a Tango for Concert for piano by Roberto Firpo, expressesly for a play of the same name. It was dedicated “To the eminent national actor Florencio Parraviccini.” Juan Caruso contributed the lyrics.

CASTELLANO
Peregrino y soñador,
cantar,
quiero mi fantasía
y la loca poesía
que hay en mi corazón!
Lleno de amor y de alegría,
volcaré mi pasion. Siempre sentí
la dulce ilusión
de estar viviendo
mi pasión.
Si es que no vivo lo que sueño
Yo sueño todo lo que canto,
por eso mi encanto
es el amor.
Mi pobre alma de bohemio
quiero acariciar
y como una flor
perfumar.
Y en mis noches de dolor
a hablar
me voy con las estrellas,
y las cosas más bellas
despierto he de soñar.
Porque les confío a ellas
toda mi sed de amar.
Siempre sentí
la dulce ilusión
de estar viviendo
mi pasión.
Yo busco en los ojos celestes
y en renegridas cabelleras
pasiones sinceras,
dulce emoción.
Y en mi eterna vida errante
llena de ilusión,
yo quiero dar todo
mi corazón.

ENGLISH

Traveler and dreamer,
to sing,
I want (to sing) my fantasy
and the mad poetry
that there is in my heart!
Filled with love and joy,
I’ll empty out my passion. I always felt
the sweet illusion
to be living
my passion.
If I don’t live what I dream
I dream all that I sing,
that’s why my charm
is love.
My poor bohemian soul
I want to caress
and like a flower
permeate with perfume.
And in my nights of pain
to speak
I go (to speak) with the stars,
and the most beautiful things
awake, I’m going to dream
Because I trust in them
all my thirst for love.
I always felt
the sweet illusion
to be living
my passion.
I look for in the light blue eyes
and in black long hairs;
sincere passions,
sweet emotion.
And in my eternal wandering life
filled with illusion,
I want to give all
my heart.

A song by Garth Brooks called You Move Me is perfect...

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee

So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But you move me
You give me courage I didn’t
know I had
You move me on
I can’t go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me on

This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin’ what they mean

And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn’t budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I’m burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh ‘cause you move me
You get me dancing and you
make me sing
You move me
Now I’m taking delight
In every little thing
How you move me

The Secret
By Denise Levertov

Two girls discover
the secret of life
in a sudden line of
poetry.

I who don’t know the
secret wrote
the line. They
told me

(through a third person)
they had found it
but not what it was
not even

what line it was. No doubt
by now, more than a week
later, they have forgotten
the secret,

the line, the name of
the poem. I love them
for finding what
I can’t find,

and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it
so that

a thousand times, till death
finds them, they may
discover it again, in other
lines

in other
happenings. And for
wanting to know it,
for

assuming there is
such a secret, yes,
for that
most of all

Here's an exercise to try.
Turn your head to the left.
No matter what you see there take the time to really look at it.
No matter what it is, no matter how mundane and plain it is,
there is someone who will see some form of absolute beauty in it.
The trick is to try and see it too. When you do,
that's moving.

[SoNotHer]

I have a niece who was born with one arm, and who I think the world of. She is a hero to me and many others and watching her ride is one of the things that moves me more than I can say.

Thank you for this thread, Nat, and thank you Tazz and Vintage Femme for your comments. I hope you're having a good night. :-)

***i'm trying... feeling my loneliness... so i'm coping... thanx

wishing you peaceful slumbers when you get there... (f)

[Tuff Stuff]

The cries of a new born baby-safely in the arms of its mother.

People-family/friends/strangers who have your back..they care enough to defend you..there when you need them the most..count me as one of those people.

Driving on a lonely country road...seeing nature,the trees,the animals,the mountains and the open sky..happy being alive,brings me to tears.

Looking up at the night skies,our galaxy..just beautiful.

Death-Watching family cry over the passing of a loved one moves me to tears.

Sad movies...and sad songs...Adele "Hello"

When me and the wife argue :bigcry:

Money...lots of it!

:D

:) yep - still moves me. Loved that movie. Little River Phoenix - wish he'd lived longer.

I only recently discovered Leontyne Price while looking for a song for the soundtrack on "A Room with a View." From that (also gorgeous) song, I clicked on this one:

MgfQl9RJQz4

And it also was beautiful and seemed so full of longing, that I thought to look up the story behind the song. Long story short, there's folktale about a rusalka- a sort of water spirit in Eastern European folklore across several countries - that appears to be the original story behind "The Little Mermaid." This folktale was made into an opera, and the "song to the moon" is similar in intent to disney's "part of your world." Basically the rusalka wishing she could be a mortal woman because love for a mortal man has filled her with longing.

Anyway, I thought it was an interesting discovery.

And the singer, Leontyne Price, she herself, her voice, is gorgeously moving.

The Moon and stars. Sunset and dusk. Cloud shadows on the hills. The masterpiece of land and sky that I admire every single day and night. Nothing is more beautiful or peaceful.

[Katniss]

Classical music, vulnerability, "le mot juste"

Katniss~~

[Kätzchen]

Charming sensitivity, clever witticism, honorable and chivalrous behavior, the ability to know the subtle difference between sensual and sexual prowess and the line of vulnerability between them both, and the fine art of romance - in a way that is only unique to them.

[Kätzchen]

People who take active positions against dictatorial adversaries and vote for policies that weave social stability for all sectors of society.

This is what moves me:

People who care about people. People willing to stand up for the right thing and do the right thing.

[Tuff Stuff]

Being under pressure...that's what moves me..like the song by david bowie.Makes me wanna do a music video dancing down those eerie hallways of the cecil hotel in downtown los angeles,california.

I'm definitely watching to much YouTube these days.:missing:

Oh I remember that hotel,back in 1979 that was called home.

[VintageFemme]

Nature... always nature. Vulnerability that is courageous. What my ears hear as perfect music. My grandson. My ghosts.

Saturday Night Live (SNL).


I seriously like/love how the creators of SNL will take on political hot topics and show the world just how redickulous and effing dangerous apolitical views can be.

Here is one of the latest SNL skits:

ihcL7z3Fap4


I wonder if they will break out the "New Sheriff in Town" skit concerning the fake sheriff's badge Mr. Perp-walker was showing off recently. We shall see.


In other news: Please vote like your life depends on it because it does. Democracy in the US is at stake and I seriously want for everybody in our country to denounce the GOP by voting for Democracy that belongs to us all -- not the dictator wanna-be's or election deniers of the GOP (.....).

[Bèsame*]

I have picked up this unconventional magazine and was reading an article on Corita Kent, a nun and and art teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Hollywood. Some of her quotes have moved me into some inspiration today...


"To the extent we can approach our job as an amateur(from the Latin amare, meaning to love) will we be successful in our work. When we pursue a thing for love, we are free to fumble and make mistakes. The source of our work may not run smoothly, but we are open to possibilities, embracing everything we have contact with."


"Not all of are painters but we all are artists. Each time we are fitting something together we are creating...whether it be a loaf of bread, a child, a day"

[Orema]

Old family photographs.

My niece gifted me four framed photos of my mother and sister. My sister, who was 9 y/o or so at the time, at the beach in a swim suit standing in the water. With another photo of mama posing in a 1940-ish Ford sedan. And soon Cousin Al will send me a hard drive of videos (film transferred to video) of family gatherings. Really looking forward to seeing that. My uncle was a photographer for the city's Black newspaper and looooooved taking photos and my family liked being photographed.

It's nice and fun seeing loved ones at an earlier age but it's that connection to the past that moves me to the core. Lucky me.

[clay]

Reading news stories of good, kind, decent human beings who help others.

Feel good reads, those are what Moves Me!!!

[Kätzchen]

The quiet moments between us when he whispers a sweet notion in my ear or when we are together with friends and my love shares something intimate about us to our friends: it is during these moments that I know how much my guy loves me and knows me like a book; which, in turn, causes me to love him more. He is my all in all, my forever and ever.
