I’m looking for words and can’t seem to find them. I can’t write, not because I’m blocked coz I ain’t, I just can’t find the right words. At times words seem so meaningless, empty almost. I feel like they don’t communicate what I would like to communicate. This has nothing to do with a certain language, actually it’s a universal language I’m talking about. One that is capable of traveling distance and time, one that doesn’t need any definitions.
Definitions made up by humans to make us understand our own complexity of words. Isn’t that hilarious? Why is it that everything in this world needs to be explained [read understood]. Why can’t we just accept things the way they are and try to speak that universal language instead, so distance and time wouldn’t be an issue. Words and definitions wouldn’t be an issue either. If only we could trust in the power of faith and that bigger plan that the universe has in mind for us. Things would be so much easier…
So I’m not going to try to write things down, I just know it won’t come out as I want it to. Instead I have been creating again, something I forgot about for some time. The urge was there: my hands were itching to get started and change words into colours and shapes, depths and heights… It’s the most wonderful feeling: to go through this process and be excited to see the final result: something beyond words although they’re still there, just hidden and only readable for those who know how to obtain meaning and understand…
A life-time is not what’s between,
The moments of birth and death.
A life-time is one moment,
Between my two little breaths.
The present, the here, the now,
That’s all the life I get,
I live each moment in full,
In kindness, in peace, without regret.
