The Tollund Man

The Tollund Man

"The soul exceeds its circumstances". Yes.

History not to be granted the last word

Or the first claim ... In the end I gathered

From the display-case peat my staying powers,

Told my webbed wrists to be like silver birches,

My old uncallused hands to be young sward,

The spade-cut skin to heal, and got restored

By telling myself this."

You just want to feel blue!

@Shakand  I learned something today  I just realize that sometimes you don't want to hear  how good you are,  sometimes,  you just want to feel  blue!  Even when the words you hear  it comes from a place of sincerity  and probably  you know it  it is possible  that the greatness shit you hear,  could be right,  and you agree,  give the smile,  saying thank you  but...  it is not a time  to feel great about it  cuz the circumstances  You just need to feel it  and through the anxiety,  stop breathing for a second,  drink a good young wine,  smoke a cigarette very slow,  scream a little bit,  perhaps  let two or three tears fells down. your body recognize the courage  you need to have not physical contact  with the wall,  don't get a sleep for two nights,  see your clock and watch the time go by,  pretend to listen people,...

NEVER LET ME GO

@Shakand Looking out from underneath, Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me, As before I went under. And it's peaceful in the deep, Cause either way (Cathedral, where) you cannot breathe, No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under, Oh. And it's breaking over me, A thousand miles down (on)to the sea bed, Found the place to rest my head. Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go. And the arms of the ocean are carrying me, And all this devotion was rushing over (out of) me, And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me, But the arms of the ocean deliver me. Though the pressure's hard to take, It's the only way I can escape, It seems a heavy choice to make, But now I am under, Oh. And it's breaking over me, A thousand miles down to the sea bed, Found the place to rest my head. Never let me go, never let me go. Never let me go, never let me go. And the arms of the ocean are carrying ...

“Viaje a Itaca” - Poema

Cuando emprendas tu viaje a Itaca  pide que el camino sea largo,  lleno de aventuras,  lleno de experiencias.  No temas a los lestrigones  ni a los cíclopes  ni al colérico Poseidón,  seres tales jamás hallarás en tu camino, si tu pensar es elevado,  si selecta es la emoción  que toca tu espíritu y tu cuerpo.  Ni a los lestrigones  ni a los cíclopes  ni al salvaje Poseidón encontrarás,  si no los llevas dentro de tu alma,  si no los yergue tu alma ante ti.    Pide que el camino sea largo.  Que muchas sean las mañanas  de verano en que llegues - ¡con qué placer y alegría!-  a puertos nunca vistos antes.  Detente en los emporios de Fenicia  y hazte con hermosas mercancías, nácar y coral,  ámbar y ébano y toda suerte de perfumes sensuales,  cuantos más abundantes perfumes sensuales puedas.  Ve a muchas ciudades egipcias a aprender,  a aprender de sus sabios.  Te...
