What I found out today. oo3.1


Today, once again, I found out that language is the source of misunderstandings. Just like in the book called "Little Prince". There its a talk about taming someone.... "You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me-- like that-- in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day..."

We spend some much time looking for words and even more time looking for the right words.. It doesn't matter how many languages you know and how well you know how to express yourself, in the end, sometimes it just doesnt work... And you get stuck thinking that, indeed, words are the source of misunderstandings.

And thats what I found out tonight.

Goodnight.

I never understood why you gave me the book the little prince. Now I understand.

Indeed, words are the greatest source of misunderstanding, as I learnt the hard way.

Maybe if I stop barking and start to listen more inside, and be still again, the little fox will stop running away,

and yes I agree, you never know how much time you have with someone, but at the same time we make time and have to give time.

As again, you have taught me. Of the wise things I now am only starting to understand...

There are many things in life that you must learn over and over again. Like walking. And somehow in those moments you don't really care you've done it before, it comes to you again and it feels as exciting as it was before. Or even more! Even Hemingway said, " All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. " There is always more than meets the eye. There is always more than we dare to admit. And it's amazing. Amazing to challenge your own limitation and your own walls (either way if they are walls in or walls out). Amazing things happen to you when you let them happen. When you walk right into the room full of unknown people and don't feel fear. I am learning to accept chaos. (Although I am not entirely sure whether it accepts me.) I have learned lately that any kind of fear might be just worthy to walk straight into. It's like playing a computer game only not being as reckless! Although I dont think that death is th

When you decide to do something brilliant, profound and simply amazing and everything is going smoothly, what is that moment when you start wondering -- where is the catch?!. There must be something. Where is the dude you call Murphy with his laws?!.... Or maybe, just maybe, things can go smooth...?!.

There was a time in my life where I learned a very important lesson. There was a time I learned that by loosing everything I had so much more left. So much more to see, to treasure and to be. I was remembering today those days when we were once kinds, when we use d to build up some amazing things out of any simple daily objects and it would make us happiest people in the world. We would build castles, space ships, even countries and new galaxies and then once mother would call for dinner we would as easily dismount it all again to be ready for something else next time. I wonder, wasn't it much easier then to learn same lessons of letting go. I don't remember much of my childhood. Probably since the time they cut my wings but I do remember that then it was so much easier to who you really are in that moment -- a performer, Cleopatra, a pilot of a space ship, a hunter, a doctor, a princess... even if until dinner time or for a moment. And therefore I keep remembering that growi
