I want to be a black-winged bird

Katrine 2022-09-10 03:21:32

Night fell too slowly and
my flaws were still exposed to the sun, and
I rolled up my sleeves to shield the ruby ​​from my fingers.
I want to become a black-winged bird,
fly silently through your life, and
no longer care about the past,
the accomplished things.

Travel really makes one understand what one really needs.
"GO WEST YOUNG MAN" on a cup of coffee, a road trip in Canada, chatting in a motel, kissing a Stanley cup, meeting a kind farmer, keeping warm with strangers, looking for mythical beasts.
Maybe in the sea, on the skateboard, Ben really saw the divine beast that his father said, a divine beast in his heart.
Maybe everyone has a divine beast in their hearts that drives them to live bravely and pursue the meaning of life.
Travel finally allowed Ben to see his heart.

To struggle, seek
,
pursue,
never compromise.

One Week quotes

  • Narrator: When you get those rare moments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you try desperately to hold on to them. They are the life boats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely illusive. So the question becomes, or should have been all a long... What would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live. What life boat would you grab on to? What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfil? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?

    [Written on a black board: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."]
