l'incompetenza si manifesta con l'uso di troppe parole
(ezra pound)

Il primo livello di sapienza è saper tacere,
il secondo è saper esprimere molte idee con poche parole, 
il terzo è saper parlare senza dire troppo e male... 
Si deve parlare solo quando si ha qualcosa da dire, 
che valga veramente la pena, 
o, perlomeno, 
che valga più del silenzio.

..if some lives....

Solo chi ama senza speranza conosce il vero amore
Pablo Neruda

If I Could Be Where You Are

Where are you this moment? 
Only in my dreams. 
You're missing, but you're always 
A heartbeat from me. 
I'm lost now without you, 
I don't know where you are. 
I keep watching, I keep hoping, 
But time keeps us apart 

Is there a way I can find you, 
Is there a sign I should know, 
Is there a road I could follow 
To bring you back home? 

Winter lies before me 
Now you're so far away. 
In the darkness of my dreaming 
The light of you will stay 

If I could be close beside you 
If I could be where you are 
If I could reach out and touch you 
And bring you back home 
Is there a way I can find you 
Is there a sign I should know 
Is there a road I can follow 
To bring you back home to me

if some lives form a perfect circle...
...others take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand.
Loss has been a part of my journey.
But it has also shown me what is precious.
So has a love for which I can only be grateful.

To all the ships at sea, and all the ports of call.

To my family, and to all friends and strangers.

This is a message and a prayer.

The message is that my travels taught me a great truth.

I already had what everyone is searching for and few ever find: The one person in the world Who I was born to love forever.

A person like me, of the Outer Banks and blue Atlantic mystery.

A person rich in simple treasures, self-made, self-taught.

A harbor where I am forever home.

And no wind or trouble Or even a little death can knock down this house.

The prayer is that everyone in the world can know this kind of love, and be healed by it. 

If my prayer is heard, then there will be an erasing of all guilt, and all regret, and an end to all anger.

Please God.

Amen.
