2. »   Friendship and the Need for Sharing

    Everyone has friends in some guise or another. Friends we work with, friends we play with, friends we fight with! We all have them, but what is friendship?

    To answer that we first have to look at what we are. On a primal level, what drives us? What is one thing we all share regardless of our nationality? ….


  3. "What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Whom I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
  4. "I am going to give you a piece of advice…advice I wish I’d been told in guidance class back in high school, in between the don’t-do-acid and don’t-drink-and-drive films. I wish our counselors had told us, ‘When you grow older a dreadful, horrible sensation will come over you. Here is the list of the symptoms, and don’t worry—loneliness is the most universal sensation on the planet. Just remember one fact—loneliness will pass. You will survive and you will be a better human for it."

Once still, it creates a room for meeting and inspiration, generating a special acoustic echo for the reader inside the wheel. Link via DVICE | Photo: David Garcia

  6. The Blue © Moira G. Gallaga   A child bobs and weaves in the swell of the powerfully gentle ocean. The spray wets his face and the smell fills his senses. Peace, tranquillity, beauty – this is my favourite memory.   Mother Earth’s blue blood wraps her shores in mighty oceans and beautiful seas, Bringing life and sustenance and travel and trade and security and serenity to all who walk her lands. A complex web of life untangles effortlessly in a grand design surpassing any human mind.   Ancient pioneers sailed her endless seas to find distant lands, They lived and thrived and learned and developed and respected the genius of her biodiversity. A mutually beneficial symbiosis respected a grand design surpassing any human mind.   Then we grew and grew and forgot what we knew and fished and ate and pillaged the oceans which asphyxiate as our devastation began to accelerate and generation by generation we underestimate the slow inexorable truth of how we untangle a grand design surpassing any human mind.   Sustainable fishing, educated waste management, respect for her trade routes, cleaning her shores, fighting endless carbon emissions and global warming, respect for the delicate balance of marine life… grand ideas surpassing any human mind?   A child bobs and weaves in the swell of the powerfully gentle ocean. The spray wets his face and the smell fills his senses. Peace, tranquillity, beauty – is this is an extinct memory?   No! No! No! Run through the streets and shout it from rooftops! For a new generation is born!   Mother Earth is forgiving and loving and able to regenerate, She smiles as a new generation spreads the word… A simple word And action And respect And love And a global effort that will breathe new life into our mighty oceans and revive a complex web of life that untangles effortlessly in a grand design surpassing any human mind.   Every day is World Ocean Day.©

    The spray wets his face and the smell fills his senses.

    Peace, tranquillity, beauty – this is my favourite memory.

     

    Mother Earth’s blue blood wraps her shores in mighty oceans and beautiful seas,

    Bringing life

    and sustenance

    and travel

    and trade

    and security

    and serenity to all who walk her lands.

    A complex web of life untangles effortlessly in a grand design surpassing any human mind.

     

    Ancient pioneers sailed her endless seas to find distant lands,

    They lived

    and thrived

    and learned

    and developed

    and respected the genius of her biodiversity.

    A mutually beneficial symbiosis respected a grand design surpassing any human mind.

     

    Then we grew and grew and forgot what we knew

    and fished and ate

    and pillaged the oceans which asphyxiate

    as our devastation began to accelerate

    and generation by generation we underestimate

    the slow inexorable truth of how we untangle a grand design surpassing any human mind.

     

    Sustainable fishing, educated waste management, respect for her trade routes, cleaning her shores, fighting endless carbon emissions and global warming, respect for the delicate balance of marine life… grand ideas surpassing any human mind?

    Mother Earth is forgiving and loving and able to regenerate,

    She smiles as a new generation spreads the word…

    A simple word

    And action

    And respect

    And love

    And a global effort that will breathe new life into our mighty oceans and revive a complex web of life that untangles effortlessly in a grand design surpassing any human mind.

  10. I know things have changed, in a way I never expected. I hope your life is everything you want it to be. And no matter when or how long it’s been since we’ve spoken nor how late it is in the night, I’m always a phone call, a text, a drive away. I promise you that you will always be my best friend. And I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever done but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Cause through everything that happened it was meant to, and I look of it as a test, a test to see how strong our friendship is. We can make it, I know we can. And just know that no matter what happens in our lives I’ll always be here for you.

About me

This blog is all about the countries I’ve been to and those I have yet to explore, clothes I can’t seem to find in any boutiques, jewelleries I’ll never wear, crafts I'll never make, art I’ll never own, and food I’ll never be able to cook.

Some are my personal writings .. I live .. I ignore warning labels. I revel in the pressure, the adrenaline.. that feeling of being on the edge and the fast pace that characterizes life.. I smoke brain, go high on life and fools around with my imagination! I'm on life crack and I like it... welcome to my world!
