What are you comfortable with?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 03, 2009:



Living life the way I am. Not perhaps the right way, or a profitable way, or even a successful way. But in a way that I can truly live it's moments.

Because life is for living.

Dawn

Posted on Aug 4th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
 




Pride and Prejudice-Dawn.mp3

The dawn is more like my sunset, almost literally and figuratively. I seem to find my self somewhere in it. I think sunsets are over-rated. Probably because not many people stop and feel the dawn or really wake up that early.

The dark night sky slowly turning into shades of blue.
The elegant cold breeze.
The clearer air.
The softer music.
The peace of being alone.
The joy of never being lonely.
The escape from the maddening noise.
The goodbye of the dreaded silence.
The comfort of being here.
The thrill of going far.
The chirping of birds.
The distant mountains grey, purple ,blue.
The end of one.
The beginning of another.

And I feel understood.

Ah! Dawn.

Do you think of yourself as a curious person?

Posted on Aug 8th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 08, 2009:



Yeah, pretty curious. I'm quite anti-social so I'm not very curious about individual people, what they do , suspicion or gossip about people.But the world has far more things than just that. :)

Most people find me curious. Then again, I am a weird person.

A Wanderer

Posted on Aug 9th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada

Endless skies
Carry me on
Across the rivers
Beyond the hills
Everything's an adventure
A thrill
The birth of a butterfly
The eye of a storm
The warming glow
And the shapes of snow
I'm just strolling by
A stranger
A wanderer
Never imprisoned
Never promised
Never shown another lust
Lost in a tangled thought
I carry each story
And grow it in my heart
But not make it my blood
For I have to go far
Carry no weight at all
Save no one
Seek no one
No aim
No destination
No map
No signs
Just a moment in my palm

I feel like I'm floating in an abyss of neutrality. And though it's chaotic, it's fun and I feel myself.

What could I want from beauty? It is present. And when it binds me in it's experience, I forget what I want.

What's the hardest thing about being you?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 19, 2009:


I've lost the interest or desire to explain that. It's just hard, really hard.
But I wouldn't be anything else, even with a million choices. And I mean that.
Because I like it.

What does it feel like to listen to someone?

Posted on Aug 21st, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 21, 2009:



Sometimes sympathy feels like an empty sky, and advice is like a distant lighthouse.
Because they are merely spectators.
Listening to someone, is experiencing with them and that requires an amount of vulnerability. You aren't just there for them, but with them.

Listening is different from hearing.

When you put a shell to your ear, you hear the sound of the sea. But when you honestly listen to it, you probably become one.

What nourishes your soul?

Posted on Aug 23rd, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 23, 2009:



Questions and the search for their answers.

Even if I don't come up with the questions, because they show me what I have missed. Or even if I don't find an answer, because I come across several things while trying to find one.
And how lovely it feels to be greated with a new question everyday here at Gaia!

What do you like best about the night?

Posted on Aug 24th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 24, 2009:






I'm nocturnal. :P

I have an affinity for darkness. The night is dark, cold, calm, solitary and lovely. It has a haunting wind that carries a melancholy, hidden under the chaos of the day.

I actually find the night comforting.

And that just makes me weird person.
