Eternity

Last night I gazed up at the stars.
They twinkled away in the distance
those histories
those relics of the past

and I thought:
I am just the same.
What you see in me
is never the present moment
but the ever-increasing indentations
that my yesterdays have carved into my face.

Every second digs another tiny line out of me
and some day all those lines together
will connect me back
into eternity.

The Dance

You dance through life.
When you were small you watched your parents dancing.
They taught you how to dance.
You learnt their moves.
As you grew up you danced with your friends and learnt some more steps from them.
Finally you started putting your own personal thumbprint into your dance.
You made it your own.

We are always dancing.
Your dance is an incantation that you’ve learnt.
It is a magical invocation.
It’s a key that opens things.

What is your dance opening?

Cancer.

It looks like she is dying.
In and out of consciousness.
Prayers are said.
Hushed conversations.
Big eyes.
Shaking of heads.
As if an entire universe
is about to implode.
As if,
with her death,
a part of our own galaxies
will die.

Of course,
this is true.

And so
prayers are said.
Hushed conversations.
Big eyes.
Shaking of heads.

Recognition.

There is something in you
I recognize
from a long time ago.

It doesn’t have a face
or feet
and yet it feels just like that.

We join in the dark.

That is the way it has always been.

I love this guy.  I’m a sucker for artists, for people who follow their passion against all odds and make something that people can relate to, something that changes them.

This is a  clip from an interview with the late Maurice Sendak, the writer and illustrator of the famous children’s book “Where the wild things are“, shortly before his death.  His responses are so honest and touching that the message makes a real impact.
