"Given To Fly"
He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

On learning... about yourself
"Descobri que minha obsessão por cada coisa em seu lugar, cada assunto em seu tempo, cada palavra em seu estilo, não era o prêmio merecido de uma mente em ordem, mas, pelo contrário, todo um sistema de simulação inventado por mim para ocultar a desordem da minha natureza."
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Memória de Minhas Putas Tristes

On learning
"Everythig happens for a reason, that is to learn something"
Maya Angelou (I think)
Tudo acontece por uma razão e, para mim, essa razão é aprender algo, sobre nós, sobre os outros, sobre a vida. Chamo a isso crescer.
Mesmo que não gostemos de inicio tenho a certeza é para nosso bem.
E todos ensinamos, mesmo sem o saber. Mas só podemos aprender se quisermos.
Be free. Live life.
