Cuidado! Karma à solta!

Enquanto procurava a imagem do post que antecede este mesmo, deparei-me com um site que continha apenas o texto que se segue.

"A Janela

Certa vez, dois homens estavam seriamente doentes na mesma enfermaria de um grande hospital. O cômodo era bem pequeno e nele havia uma janela que dava para o mundo. Um dos homens tinha, como parte do seu tratamento, permissão para sentar-se na cama por uma hora durante as tardes (algo que tinha a ver com a drenagem de fluido de seus pulmões). Sua cama ficava perto da janela.

O outro, contudo, tinha de passar todo o seu tempo deitado de barriga para cima. Todas as tardes, quando o homem cuja cama ficava perto da janela era colocado em posição sentada, passava o tempo descrevendo o que via lá fora.

A janela dava para um parque onde havia um lago. Havia patos e cisnes no lago, e as crianças iam atirar-lhes pão e colocar na água barcos de brinquedo. Jovens namorados caminhavam de mãos dadas entre as árvores, e havia flores, gramados e jogos de bola. E ao fundo, por trás da fileira de árvores, avistava-se o belo contorno dos prédios da cidade.

O homem deitado ouvia o sentado descrever tudo isso, apreciando todos os minutos. Ouviu sobre como uma criança quase caiu no lago e sobre como as garotas estavam bonitas em seus vestidos de verão. As descrições do seu amigo eventualmente o fizeram sentir que quase podia ver o que estava acontecendo lá fora...

Então, em uma bela tarde, ocorreu-lhe um pensamento: Por que o homem que ficava perto da janela deveria ter todo o prazer de ver o que estava acontecendo? Por que ele não podia ter essa chance? Sentiu-se envergonhado, mas quanto mais tentava não pensar assim, mais queria uma mudança. Faria qualquer coisa!

Numa noite, enquanto olhava para o teto, o outro homem subitamente acordou tossindo e sufocando, suas mãos procurando o botão que faria a enfermeira vir correndo. Mas ele o observou sem se mover... mesmo quando o som de respiração parou. De manha, a enfermeira encontrou o outro homem morto e, silenciosamente, levou embora o seu corpo.

Logo que pareceu apropriado, o homem perguntou se poderia ser colocado na cama perto da janela. Então colocaram-no lá, aconchegaram-no sob as cobertas e fizeram com que se sentisse bastante confortável. No minuto em que saíram, ele apoiou-se sobre um cotovelo, com dificuldade e sentindo muita dor, e olhou para fora da janela.

Viu apenas um muro...

E a vida é, sempre foi e será aquilo que nós a tornamos.



Bom dia!! Boa sorte!!

Abraços Com Amor

Faço da Ligia Barreto minhas palavras, Bom dia! Boa Sorte!!

Abraços com amor

Hoje


Procuro na janela de cada casa um sinal teu. Um reflexo amigo, um olhar quente. Não sei quem és nem onde estás.
Sei que te vou encontrar.
Hoje, amanha, aqui ou ali.
Cá te espero, apaixonante desconhecida

keeping it fresh for the heads who be
non-stop dropping it naturally
dropping on a regular basis
dropping on a regular basis, we
dropping on a regular basis, we
be dropping on a regular
on a regular basis

Grey Streey


Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
