It is a waste to ignore the musings of the mind. |
Have you heard the story, "Once Someone Asked Me"? It's all about the time I met a man who asked me, Will you be my wife? I will give you the whole world, diamonds on your fingers, mansions all over the world when you travel, big ships, small boats, palatial homes, the oceans where you can sail and watch the sun sink in the horizon, the earth where you can build all your palaces, anything at all you wish, I will give you if you will be my wife. I looked at him and smiled, and I thought: but I would like to have the moon. I would like the moon on which I can dream of dreams that never end; I would like the moon where I can hug my children, my grandchildren, my loved ones; I would like the moon where I can write stories that would inspire all children in the world; I would like to have the moon where there is no war, no fighting, no blood, no angry words, no noise; I would like to have the moon where I can look at God and say, "I have the moon and I am at peace." And the man looked away, walked away, in sorrow, and didn't understand why I would like to have the moon... |
