1. Once in a while (life gives us)
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 10:06 PM by Xipe Totec
De vez en cuando la vida~J.M. Serrat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIkGVAsqLE8


Every once in a while,
life kisses us full in the mouth
And opens up in color like an atlas,
and we feel ourselves in good hands.

It becomes the right size for us,
and catches our stride
pulls a rabbit out of a hat
and we become happy as children
when school lets out.

Every once in a while
life drinks coffee with us
and becomes so beautiful, that it's a pleasure to see.
She lets her hair lose and invites us
up on the stage.

Every once in a while
she offer herself in full
and grants gifts so slippery
we must walk on tip-toes
to keep from breaking the spell.


Every one in a while
life pulls out the paint brushes
we get goosebumps, and words fail
to describe what she offers
to those that that know how to use them.

And every once in a while
Life plays a joke on us
and we wake up without knowing
what happened; sucking our thumbs
sitting on a pumpkin.

7. Some quotes:
“In all things it is better to hope than to despair”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

8. One of my favorite quotations ever:
From The Little Prince:

"What makes the desert beautiful," says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well."

9. I decided I wanted to meet Deborah Harry when I was 9 years old.
It took me 23 years, but I did it. On my 32nd birthday, I met Deborah Harry in South Carolina. She signed her autograph Happy B Day because the entire word, "birthday" wouldn't fit on the ticket.

If that is possible, just about anything (except for me getting a girlfriend) is possible.
