You start dying slowly

if you do not travel,

if you do not read,

if you do not listen to the sounds of life,

if you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly

if you do not travel,

if you do not read,

if you do not listen to the sounds of life,

if you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly

When you kill your self-esteem;

When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly

If you become a slave of your habits,

Walking every day on the same paths….

If you do not change your routine,

If you do not wear different colours

Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly

If you avoid to feel passion

And their turbulent emotions;

Those which make your eyes glisten

And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly

if you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your

love,

if you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,

If you do not go after a dream,

If you do not allow yourself,

At least once in your lifetime,

To run away from sensible advice…

-Martha Medeiros

“

The rhythm of live
Is a jazz rhythm,
Honey,
The gods are laughing at us.

The broken heart of love,
The weary, weary heart of pain,—
Overtones,
Undertones,
To the rumble of street cars,
To the swish of rain.

Lenox Avenue,
Honey.
Midnight,
And the gods are laughing at us.

”

- Langston Hughes

City by the bay has never looked more gorgeous, or thoroughly pulsating— trolley part was awesome, as were the fog huffs and night brights. Time lapse vids always make me want to do my own, but until then (after patience and appropriate gear have triumphed), please take this in.

If we just shook and rattled
The old chains,
Nothing would move.

One must add one’s own
Link to the chain.
The more original the link, the Greater

The step forward.

Just Lovely.

(For a great live rendition: http://youtu.be/NpJCpAquKUY, Intro is awesome.) The Diving Bell and The Butterfly—you’re one of my minor heroes, Mr. Julian Schnabel—incorporated this song in its story arc, and beautifully so. It’s one of those movies that touches you souldeep, and makes you not so scared of pain, for when the heart breaks, it lets in more light.

“

I’m interested in what people do with the
chaos in their lives and how they respond
to it, and simultaneously what they do
with what they feel like are limitations.
If they push against these limitations,
will they wind up in the realm of chaos,
or will they push against limitations and
wind up in the world of freedom?

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe me.”

Look what happens with
Love like that,
It lights the whole sky.
