The Door - Miroslav Holub
The Door Go and open the door. Perhaps outside there's a tree, or a wood, or a garden, or a magic town. Go and open the door. Perhaps outside there's a dog scratching. Perhaps there's a face outside, or an eye or the picture of a picture. Go and open the door. If there's fog outside it will go. Go and open the door. There could be outside only singing darkness, and there could be outside only wind's hollow breath and there could be absolutely nothing outside, go and open the door. At least there would be a draught. Miroslav Holub |
The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours And yours Leo Marks |
From Placenta Praevia - Alta
& all those years nobody loved me except her & i screamed at her & spanked her & threw her on the bed & slammed the door when i was angry & desperate for her father's love, & I can't undo all those times i frightened her & she loves me, she still loves me, i can't undo needing & being tortured by loneliness until i cried out at her, who loved me even in my needy loneliness. & how do mothers, unloved, love their children? the wonder is that we do, we do not leave the little girl, we do not destroy we cry out in terror we love our little girls who must have a better life ... Alta For Mum, I love you xxx |

"Plant a thought, reap an act. Plant an act, reap a habit. Plant a habit, reap a character. Plant a character, reap a destiny." - Confucius

"Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it." - Viktor Frankl |
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.
