I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don’t shed a tearThrough the darkness and good times
I knew I’d make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for youAldo Nova and Stephan Moccio

Saturday, October 15th, 2011“When asked “What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”, the Dalai Lama answered:
“Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
Dalai Lama
Prime Numbers
Friday, October 14th, 2011Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.

If Today was the Last Day
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

The Past
Sunday, August 8th, 2010What is past is not dead; it is not even past. We cut ourselves off from it; we preferred to be strangers.
