In Tine, Doamne, e Odihna mea...

In Tine, Doamne, e Odihna mea,
Si fara Tine, Viata nu-i a mea,
In toiul noptii, misterul Tau ma infasoara,
Si foamea dupa Tine se strecoara.

Tu esti Visul meu sublim,
Incredere-n suspin,
Lumina din Etern,
Comoara ce transforma,
Somnul greu si tern.

Pentru Tine eu respir
Si fara Tine, visul meu se risipeste,
Tu Sensul existentei,
Din Viata Ta, primesc o noua viata.


Asa este Laura, asa este ! Triumfatoare pezie!

Kindness

Kindness

Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.


What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.

How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.

Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness,
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.

You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.

Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to mail letters and purchase bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
it is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you every where
like a shadow or a friend.

Make a difference with your life !

Take a short break to look at this shot of inspiration:
http://www.noglassceilingmovie.com/
May it be a blessing for all. :)

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

Lauda omului

Din punctul de vedere-al copacilor,
soarele-i o dunga de caldura,
oamenii - o emotie coplesitoare...
Ei sunt niste fructe plimbatoare
ale unui pom cu mult mai mare!













Din punctul de vedere-al pietrelor,
soarele-i o piatra cazatoare,
oamenii-s o lina apasare...
Sunt miscare-adaugata la miscare,
si lumina ce-o zaresti, din soare!














Din punctul de vedere-al aerului,
soarele-i un aer plin de pasari,
aripa in aripa zbatand.
Oamenii sunt pasari nemaiintalnite,
cu aripile crescute inlauntru,
care bat, plutind, planand,
intr-un aer mai curat - care e gandul !

Cat de mult il asteptam pe Isus sa revina sa-Si ia Mireasa?

Dincolo de rabdare

de Catalin Lata

Eu simt ca nu mai am rabdare
E ca si cum as sti
Ca vii,
In dimineata urmatoare
Eu nu inteleg
De ce mai stau
De ce aripile-mi de zbor
Nu le dezleg,
Izbavitor,
Sa 'nalt pe veci nemuritor
Sa fiu in spatiul Tau, intreg.

Si toate gandurile-mi fug
Catre intoarcerea spre casa...
As vrea sa merg, dar simt in mine
O forta care nu ma lasa
Eu, Doamne-Ti cer sa Te intorci
Din plaiul Tau
La noi, in hau,
Sa-Ti smulgi copilul dintre porci.
Sau eu ma-ntorc?! Si nu mai stiu?!
E drumu-ntoarcerii prea lung
Si parca-mi pare prea pustiu.

Tu-mi numeri pasii-ntr-un tarziu,
Sa inteleg, cand n-am rabdare,
Ca si Tu esti in asteptare.

Si Duhul Tau, dar si Mireasa
Sunt una-n simt si una-n gand:
"Ne pregateste, Doamne, casa
Si-ntoarce-Te cat mai curand!"
