- we are like 3 pirates:we dont belong to any place or any time, we travel to different seas, but when anything hurts, we are too close again :)
(a good family is the best thing one can have :) said someone)
- is the only port a pirate can have :)
- Discipline she is saying I guess has the same meaning of one of the meanings in my language too: be organized and centered trying to reach the perfection
- Japanese can be cold to show emotions but what they write have always a deep meaning. And some writings are too simple and so deep as well. They see the world with a unique vision.
- Haiku by Basho
Clouds come from time to time -
and bring to men a chance to rest
from looking at the moon.
I use to say that even a warrior needs some rest, well we all need. Clouds there for me it is that "break time" we all need to dive into ourselves without the interference of the exterior world.
- Murakami
"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."
— Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)
