Moments ...

“There are moments in your life when you really miss someone that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. ”

It just looks different ...

“Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes.”

It is not supposed to be easy ...

It's unfortunate we can't make everyone happy. It is also unfortunate we cannot make ourselves happy because that.

Something is wrong ...

“It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful.”

Accepting the curse ...

“The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.”

Here comes the flood by Peter Gabriel

"Here Comes The Flood"

When the night shows
the signals grow on radios
All the strange things
they come and go, as early warnings
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
There's no point in direction we cannot
even choose a side.

I took the old track
the hollow shoulder, across the waters
On the tall cliffs
they were getting older, sons and daughters
The jaded underworld was riding high
Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky
and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain
was warm and soaked the crowd.

Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

When the flood calls
You have no home, you have no walls
In the thunder crash
You're a thousand minds, within a flash
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see
The actors gone, there's only you and me
And if we break before the dawn, they'll
use up what we used to be.

Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

Cosimo I de' Medici in Armour by Agnolo Bronzino

The Portrait of Cosimo I de' Medici is a painting by the Italian artist Agnolo di Cosimo, known as Bronzino, finished in 1545. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, Italy.

In his positions of court painter of the Medici, Bronzino was author of several portraits of Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. In this one Cosimo is represented in his young years and, in the words of Giorgio Vasari, "clad with white armor and a hand over the helmet". The portrait has been identified as the one executed in the Villa of Poggio a Caiano in 1545 and mentioned in some letters.

The portrait is devised to show the dominant and proud temperament of the Grand Duke, with a side light shining on his face and on the metallic armor.

Unshakable love ...

Friendship is the expression of unshakable love, love that is noble, pure, free from desire or egoism.”

Gabriel by Lamb

I can fly

But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel

I can love
But I need his heart
I am strong even on my own
But from him I never want to part
He's been there since the very start
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel

Bless the day he came to be
Angel's wings carried him to me
Heavenly
I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings
Revel in the songs that he sings
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
My angel Gabriel
