I watched this sad movie sometime back(the name I can hardly recall); a true story about a Spanish man named Ramon Sampedro; a quadriplegic who had wanted to die for years and was finally euthanised with the help of some friends. He used to write, and I transcribed a poem of his which had been translated into english. I found it beautiful.
Out to sea
Out to sea and in the weightlessness of the deep
Where dreams come true
Two souls unite to fulfill a single wish
Your gaze and mine over and over
Like an echo repeating itself silently
Deeper and deeper
Beyond everything that is flesh and blood
But I always awaken
And I always wish for death
My lips forever entangling in your hair

That movie would be "Mar adentro "
Peace,
Firacub.
Thats beautiful. Though he does talk about death, theres hardly a feel of sadness in here.
firacub--oh yeah! that was the fuckin name I reckon.The Spanish name I mean.I saw it as 'The Sea Inside'..do you know spanish?If you have seen the movie,isn't it so amazing.!!
de.vile--nah,no sadness at all.He wasn't sad at all.He wanted death.Euthanasia and the complexities with the religious people and all.and the laws..
It has been a long time Ashes so I cant recall much but normally I tend to watch movies featuring Tom Hanks. Somehow his movies run close to the purpose of one life. Thats the way I see it and I my opinion could differ. Hows your health now?
Peace,
Firacub.
Tom Hanks! Anyone see him die in Ladykillers? I didnt know if I was surprised or amused or fascinated.
thats really sad Ash...yet there's something so serene and beautiful abt it...the letting go of the flesh and blood that mangles the soul in misery...
Keshi.

Ashes ** smiles**
like u smile on an idiot child
Heyy Ashes u aint 99
dont be condescending in yr darbar
u gotta move out
stop tinking
see the world in the eyes of a child
thre is such a lott of beauty
so much love
i saw it all
i expeiencrd it all
i saw such a loot of beauty and charm
not only in woomen u no
i suggest u stop blogging for a while and visit the blogg world to start wid
Visit Keshi and Shaee and Kerry and the Pink Lady
and for God's sake stay away from De Vile
she is very depreseive
even the humor is grave side humor
it dont reach the eyes
opposites attract
De Vile is just yr mirror
Sorry De Vile
i had to say it
the secret of my youth is Kery and Shaee and Keshi and Oh yes
even Rohit
De Vile is funn sometimes
however a daily diet of De Vile is more than i can digest
i stopped reading her posts a long while back
wud u mind deleting all dis
after u read it?
Hi ash:--
such a long time,moved like seconds,felt like eons..
what a strangely haunting expression this poem echoes..death which rhymes,pain which blinds..
2 bodies soo close,2 souls so far away. Death brings serenity,calm,peace..yet it takes all..leaving u empty handed lost in infinity...
I wish u happiness,peace serenity..but nt in form of death,,,but hope..and life.
finally sebia spelled 'haunting' correctly:D
The last two lines say it all..I loved this..and I wish I'd watched the movie..
Saby--I know you mean all good.I respect and admire the fact that you have seen the worst and came out intact and yeah wiser too.Somehow I can't seem to get out,and I know I try.
Though whatever you say of de.vile is incorrect.I admire her creativity and for God's sake don't compare her eye for beauty even in sadness for 'depression'.Nor is she my mirror .She's more balanced and infinitely more wonderful*winks at lovey..shh! lovey,if you read all this don't fuckin blush.You know it's true*
Sebia--I will come out of it.It's becoming more hard for me,but I'm trying.Thanks for all the faith and support
fm--yeah the movie is beautiful,.You'll love it.
