life, an inspiration...

 

 

 

thank you

 

I thank my fellow humans

for offering me these scenes

in the world theatre.

 

 

nothing is precise

 

Oh, how liberating it is

to live in the approximation.

 

 

for smooth change

 

Very often

the big change comes

silently

like water

hollowing out the rock

not by force

but

by letting itself fall

drop by drop. 

 

 

Think big

This October twenty-one full moon 

reminds that change for the best

beckons

on each one step.

Let us move on.

 

 

 

 

 

Being Me 

 

© Eve, 13 years (Irene's honorary granddaughter)

 

I am tall

I am short 

I have blonde hair 

I have brown hair

But I am unique 

 

Some say I’m brave 

Some say I’m scared 

Some say I’m chatty 

Some say I’m quiet 

But I am unique just like you

 

I like to wear blue things 

I like to wear black things 

I like fruit and veg 

I like chocolate

But I am unique just like everybody else 

 

I wear a hat just like yours 

I talk in the same way as you 

I eat the same things just like you

I wear the same skirt just like yours 

That’s not the real me because I am unique.

 

I want a dog

I want a cat

I have a guinea pig

I have a hamster

But I am unique just like you 

 

Some say I like art 

Some say I like gaming 

Some say I am rich 

Some say I am normal 

But I am unique just like everybody else 

 

I colour my hair to be just like yours 

I entered the same clubs as you

I style my hair and nails to be just like yours 

I entered the same sports events as you

Is that the real me?

Because I am unique just like you

 

I am loved 

I am happy 

I am me 

 

I am unique just like everybody else

I bow to impermanence

I let myself be cradled by the waves of life

I follow nature 

that structures me

and I dance in the rhythms

of the moon.

 

This mystery cannot be stolen from me.
