Learn from all things..

Originala, este poezia lui Traian Dorz, "Invata de la toate".
I`ve translated a poem.. which is not as easy as it seems.. -.- 
The original was amazing, mine.. lacks.. a lot..


Learn from the waters to have your way improved 
Learn from the mountain how to believe, unmoved
Learn from the fire that everything is ash
Learn from the shadows to keep your mouth and watch
Learn from all stones how much you have to say
Learn from the Sun how you should always fade
Learn from the wind that often wafts on paths
How silent through this world you really have to pass
Learn from them all, for they are all your kin
 How beautiful to die, how beautiful to live.

Learn from the maggot that no one is forgotten
Learn from the fire what is to burn inside.
Learn from the Sun to know the place of time
Learn from the river to never turn your back
Learn from the lily, the purity you lack
Learn from the shadow to humbly be like her,
Learn from the rock to ‘endure the heavy stir
Learn from the stars that sky is filled with men
Learn from the crickets when shoulders are so burden
And go and see the ant, to see her heavy load,
Learn from the birds to always be unbowed
Learn from all the flowers how tender you should be
Learn from the sheep how gentle you could be

Learn from them all, for all comes to an end,
Learn, oh son of sacrifice, that you were made, so clever..
Learn from everything that’s dying how you could live forever!

Chapter 03. Incoherence.

What do I have to say that makes sense? Through all of these last few days, I haven’t had a steady or core feeling. Maybe that one thing is important, or maybe that other one, actually, maybe all of them are, but how do I make sense of it all? How do I even bring them together in this entity that is me? What is meaning? Who am I? As a person, what really defines being myself? I’ve tried so much to find out these past few months, pushing aside this “fake” self. Or is this persona still part of me and I’ve just become more of certain people through growth?   I was at this wedding, a few years ago with my then partner, and it was one of these religious ones, so a lot of what you could do was limited down to eating and talking. Now, I was extremely tired. I think both me and my brother and our fellow partners were, you know, being used to staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning and waking up well into the afternoon. Being summer and all, holiday or sorts, routine was gone through th...

Te-ai întreba?

Daca-i trăi în lumea mea Curând, mult prea curând, te-ai întreba De ce e toată-atât de rea, Şi ce o face să tot fie-aşa. Te-ai întreba.. De ce e norul plumburiu, De ce mă mai silesc să scriu, De ce e totul trecător, Şi oare.. de ce toate dor.. Daca-i trăi în mintea mea, Curând, mult prea curând, ai spune că e rea. Te-ai întreba de ce e doar tristeţe, De ce nu văd în toate, frumuseţe.   Te-ai intreba.. De ce sunt gândurile-amare, De ce speranţa-ncet dispare, De ce e totul trecător, Şi oare.. de ce toate dor.. Daca-i vedea sufletul meu Curând, mult prea curând, ai spune că-i prea greu Te-ai întreba, de ce e pururi frământare De ce-i pustia fără de hotare Te-ai întreba.. De ce loveşte valul ne-ncetat, De ce iubirea m-a uitat, De ce frumosu-i trecător, Şi oare.. de ce toate dor..

Thoughts.

            So, people talk to each other. Maybe sometimes they talk to themselves alone. On their way to work in their car or hidden at the back of the bus, thinking no one can hear, trying to sort things out. Tired of the loneliness inside their head. Creating other people, other voices, to be there for them. They need it. At least, they believe they do, truly. Considering how strange it is, you’d think they wouldn’t even try. But loneliness is much worse than stigma, that’s for sure, and no ugly stare from some random stranger is ever going to stop them from calming their echoing void inside. You’d be surprise what the voices have to say sometimes, they’re quite amusing when they try. Sometimes they don’t, and it’s quite daunting to even try listening. Or giving them a voice to begin with.             You’d think talking like that makes people insane, or that they must be i...
