Mont Fuji – Noir & Blanc | Japon — VOYAGE ONIRIQUE

Non ti chiederò: la gratuità dell’amore.

le pagine dei nostri libri

Non ti chiederò

Non ti chiedo di darmi un bacio.
Non chiedermi scusa quando penso che tu abbia sbagliato.
Non ti chiederò nemmeno di abbracciarmi quando ne ho più bisogno,
non ti chiedo di dirmi quanto sono bella, anche se è una bugia, né di scrivermi niente di bello.
Non ti chiederò nemmeno di chiamarmi per dirmi com’è andata la giornata, né di dirmi che ti manco.
Non ti chiederò di ringraziarmi per tutto quello che faccio per te, né che ti preoccupi per me quando i miei animi sono a terra, e ovviamente, non ti chiederò di appoggiarmi nelle mie decisioni.
Non ti chiederò nemmeno di ascoltarmi quando ho mille storie da raccontarti.
Non ti chiederò di fare niente, nemmeno di stare al mio fianco per sempre.
Perché se devo chiedertelo, non lo voglio più.

Frida Kahlo

Molti hanno scritto e agito in nome dell’amore, senza aspettarsi nulla in…

77th Anniversary of V-E Day

This weekend marks the 77th anniversary of “V-E Day,” the official declaration of Victory in Europe as the Second World War neared its end. 

While I’ve read descriptions of the euphoric celebrations, I think that some of the images from the day capture the story best.

Wholeness

Kaushal Kishore

People easily get dejected,
broken, shattered
when not loved,
not understood
knowingly or unknowingly
by someone who matters
or even by those
who don’t matter,
but should it matter
and that much really?

Don’t ever try to find
any reason,
reasons abound
reasonable or not
just send them on a furlough…

There is always something
to be thankful for
a possibility in remission
drifting away in the oblivion
for sometime
but taking control of yourself
enjoying songs and tunes
of your liking
that may or may not be
understood by others,
but those notes in solitude
will help clear
the fogged wheels of mind
and lubricate
the strings of your heart
to play ultimately in resonance
with your wholeness…

P.S.Wholeness doesn’t mean perfection, it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life.- Parker J. Palmer

–Kaushal Kishore
