Remember the way you are all possibilities
you can see and how you live best
as an appreciator of horizons,
whether you reach them or not.
Admit that once you have got up
from your chair and opened the door,
once you have walked out into the clean air
toward that edge and taken the path up high
beyond the ordinary, you have become
the privileged and the pilgrim,
the one who will tell the story
and the one, coming back
from the mountain,
who helped to make it.
David Whyte - River Flow
Minha querida Virginhinhamiga
ResponderEliminarNão conhecia (naturalmente) David Whyte e, claro, a sua poesia. Mas, este poema, aparentemente muito simples, fiz-me (nos) uma e muitas coisas, por isso é fantástico. Transcrevo a parte final que mais me impressionou ...and the one coming back, from the mountain, who helped to maked it:
Muito Obrigado dos teus primos da Raquel e do Henrique, o Leãozão
Quando vais e comentas na NOSSA TRAVESSA?
