So there are mountains to climb afterall.
All I can do is believe.
Starry eyed
Feeling your arms around
Knowing no harm could possibly come
While I lay protected within.

And I'm listening to music. It doesn’t allow me to continue with a verse of my own. Goo goo dolls-
And I don’t want the world to see me
Cos I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Aye, and then again you do know. And I'm lucky to have you in my life. To look upto you and peer into those kind eyes, knowing there’s no monster hiding behind who’ll ever break my spirit. For the simply reason that you’re a part of the same spirit. Just kills me to know that it's not going to be an easy road we’ve begun our journey upon. Life’s silly. People are silly. There are stupid hang-ups that these elders must have and well make so many beautiful things in life simply so screwed up. And that doesn’t make us love them any less now does it.

Why can’t life be simply about music, chocolates, love, rain, friends, love, lavender, blue, pink, little girls and boys, love, swings, fields, eagles, love, moon, hugs, kisses, love. Why cannot life simply be? The music continues, a little out of tune, nevertheless, plays on.

i watched Goo Goo Dolls sing 'Iris' last summer, at a homecoming concert, in the pouring rain, yet they played on.. and three thousand people sang in chorus: ".. i just want you to know who i am..".. a very defining moment of my life.

Dreamcatcher said...

and all i can taste is this moment..
and yeah Anu really wish that life could be all about music, chocolates, love, rain, friends..

Been looking forward to another post. I enjoyed this (Don't tell anyone I don't know Goo Goo Dolls: they might think I'm old and I vowed I'd never let that happen! Too many "hangups.")
Bad times enhance the good and, as you say, the music continues, albeit sometimes a little out of tune. Thank you.

Is the music ever perfectly in tune? Or does it just continue to syncronize more as life progresses?

Confuzzled said...

Exactly......y does the need to be known by others and understood by others have to arise?
Its not that easy huh?Life has no definite answers......

well mountains are a part of nature and u are a part of nature so y believe that it has to be crossed
it is a part of u

well i nvr feel that life is not simple but always it is us who make it more difficult to cope up with.

its the human mind that makes his life different than others creatures and it is the expectation out of life that makes human stand in awe of this life

[code]And I don’t want the world to see me
Cos I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[/code]
well y u gonna think who is seeing u, y shud it bother u.

is life only about existance???
coz only then one wud like to impose his existance on others

so to make life simple i wud say " life is the time given to us to explore this amazing creation called earth, so y waste the time in useless pursuits"
At every sunset " theres a precious cargo aboard that sets the sun and it takes a part of our life with it"

so plz realise that when u belive that mountains can b climbed then u shud also realise that life can be simple . its all in the mind
at least its simpler a process than climbing a mountain
every thing in life is simple , but life is a collection of all the simple things so it seems so mysterious . just taking the things one at a time.

"Why can’t life be simply about music, chocolates, love, rain, friends, love, lavender, blue, pink, little girls and boys, love, swings, fields, eagles, love, moon, hugs, kisses, love. Why cannot life simply be?"
if its not about this then wat is it about.its mainly about these things << how u incorporate these things in ur life."

yeh i have been pondering over being a social animalfor quite sometime.
its a necessary evil.no one can just be with themselves always and yet sometimes crave to be left alone.
I agree wid u....wen we dnt feel that we fill the requirement we want to be invisible but thats wot is bugging at times.its like a cycle
social being>>acceptance>>freedom>>loner>>
social being.

this thought struck my mind when i was doing mathematics today.
it is easier to do integration if u r good at diffrentiation and impossible if u cant diffrentiate..
similarly life is an integration of small things and once u learn to diffrentiate (that is deal with smaller things )with ease then it becomes easier to integrate those(i.e. manage them togeather viz. lead a life).

floots- that should be perfect :) thank you.

paddy- lol! absolutely ingenious... u must enjoy ur calculus for sure :) (that is a part of cal right?)

hemanshu- hi there :) ur comment reminded me of this quote i'd written down from somewhere--start a fight, prove you're alive. if u dont claim your humanity, you will become a statistic.
should read it more often i guess :)
