Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
-excerpt from the poem "Desiderata," by Max Ehrman, 1927.
What is the most beautiful color? What is that which shines brightest? I searched for the perfect gift while imagining what would make you happy
we say we want to find our “true selves” we say we want to know the “meaning of life” when I hand (this gift) over, I hope it up and solves those riddles i hope you’ll accept it.
For the longest time, I’ve been holding on tight to it, hoping to give it to you so it’s gotten all crumpled, and the color is so different now i can’t even flatteringly describe it as pretty.
we find ourselves presented with tough problems “Answer with black or white” with the wall we’ve run smack dab into before us we’re not sure what to do we may not know what to do but…
In between black and white there are infinite colors and it’s there that I search for a color that suits you once i’ve given it a gentle sounding name then, I will give that most beautiful color to you.
even if we arrive at the edge of the horizon, a new horizon stretches on from there I ask my heart “Ready to call it quits?” and I heard it say back that it wants to keep on.
i can still manage carrying this baggage that suddenly seems to have multiplied I’ll even carry yours so come on over, that alone will lighten my heart.
at the end of an endless journey, who is “the chosen one”? even if its not me, I’m going to keep on running I’ll keep on running.
the sunlight shines down which is why there is shade all of it has a purpose because each appreciates the other no matter where we are we can feel the light.
I send it to you now. I wonder if you’ll like it? Please accept it. It was because I was with you that I could find it. It’s I who should be thanking you.
What is the most beautiful color? What is that which shines brightest? I keep the gift you gave me, always, deep in my heart see, how it shines now it can still shine on.
