Coward...Ay, coward!

Don't do that, Coward!
Don't hide behind your position; Don't hide using your role
Don't hide behind your safety desk; Don't hide on your comfy chair
Dont hide, Coward!

Put off the mask you have on your face and look at me
Display the truth and confront me
Throw away your disguise and reveal your true self

Do that, Coward!

Do what your heart tells you, not what your tasks ask you
Say what your stomach feels, not at what your work deals

Listen to your heart
I ask you...I beg you...to listen...

Als ik ga

Als ik ga, moet je niet huilen
(If I go, please don't cry)
want echt weg ben ik eigenlijk niet
(because I am actually not away)

Mijn lichaam is nu duizend dingen
(My body is now a thousand things)
heb daarom niet zoveel verdriet
(that's why don't have so much pain)

Ik ben de wind
(I am the wind)
Ik ben de zon
(I am the sun)
Het jonge gras
(the young grass)
Ik ben de sneeuw en duizend dingen
(I am the snow and the thousand things)
Ik ben weer degene die ik was
(I am again the things who I was)

En als je wakker wordt,
(And if you are awake)
bekijk dan de bomen en de blauwe lucht
(look at then the trees and the blue sky)
Kijk naar de vlinders en de bloemen
(look at the butterflies and the flowers)
Kijk naar de vogels in hun vlucht
(look at the birds in their flights)
want al die duizend dingen ben ik
(because I am aleardy that thousand things)

Sinds ik mijn lichaam achterliet
(Since I left my body behind)
die duizend dingen zijn mijn leven
(the thousand things are my life)
Dus zie je, echt weg ben ik niet...
(so you can see, I am not really away...)

One little prayer*



I just have one little prayer
And I hope you grant it, God



I want to be able to meet him
And to see his face
And to look deep into his beautiful eyes

Only to have a chance
A tiny chance
A short moment
To say, "I love you, truly"

Just one little prayer
And I hope you grant it, God

*For B.L.L., whom I called my 'Secret Admirer'

Pure*


Pure is impulsive-Enchanting
Pure is genuine-Lovely
Pure is ravishing-Delightful
Pure is my dear Pure
Pure as pure can be
As My Pure
Pure of mine...





"I was neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish....
Everyone kept telling me to change.

What hurt the most was that, like the others, my best friend kept insisting that I change. So I felt powerless and trapped.

Then one day, he said to me, "Don't change. I love you just as you are."
Those words were music to my ears: "Don't change. Don't change. Don't change...I love you as you are."

I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!

Now I know that I couldn't really change until I found someone who would love me whether I changed or not"**

And that is you, My Pure
Pure as pure can be
Pure of mine

*For my family, friends, and lovers, who have given me so much love and have left some parts of them in me. I dedicate this one especially for my lovely "WIFE"! (You know who you are!)
**From Anthony De Mello, The song of the bird

Is worth to be broken hearted for...

The evil aliens, Krillitanes, came to earth. They occupied a private school in England, while nobody noticed that they were aliens. Except the Doctor, of course? Doctor who? The Doctor! *

They wanted to use the brains of the children to break the code of the creation of the universe. They had the ambitions to rebuilt or reconsruct or recreate the universe and shape it into what they wanted. They wanted to be "God", to change the event of histories, and to correct what they called the irregularities....pains, wars, and bitterness, destructions...into something smooth, regular, and running as 'good' and as beautiful as it can be....

Do you wish you can change the law of the universe? Do you think you understand how to organize it in a better way as it is? If you are able to, would you like to erase the deaths, pains, bitterness, conflicts, separations, and other dark sides of life?

Dr. Who was a bit triggered to, as the Krillitanes suggested that he could put his destroyed planet back together again...to meet again all his people and his family that he had lost....

But then he reconsidered. It is the way life works. We should let it as it is. You have pain and you have joy. You have fun and you have heartache. But still, life is something worth to be broken hearted for...and that's why it is so precious...

*Dr. Who, a BBC TV series
