My fortune...

On a misty day

in November of last year,

in the lovely Monterey, California,

I spent a dollar

and got me my fortune told

by a pirate...

 

The pirate and me.

This is what he told me:

 

I see a great deal of happiness in store for you.

You will recieve a letter soon,

and that letter can easily be said

to change the whole course of your life.

You deserve this happiness

because you have been so faithful

and sincere in your love.

However, if you wish to continue to be happy,

you'll have to learn not to be too trustworthy.

Avoid the flatterers and be a little more careful

in choosing your friends.

 

I am still waiting for that letter,

because so far, all I got were bills...

 

But what I hear in the pirates message:

if you are sincere, loving and righteous

in your realtionships

good things will come to you

and happiness (big or small) is in your life.

 

I haven't always been righteous or loving,

have made my mistakes

and have hurt wonderful people.

I have my regrets and pains.

I trusted,

 got my trust betrayed

and betrayed other people's trust.

 I learned and will continue to learn.

 

So, letter or no letter,

I can change the course of my life

and make it a happy and wonderful one.

And trust is a tricky thing...

but I would rather trust blindly then have no trust at all!

 

 

 

Where has he been all my life?

There is a new man in my life

and I am wondering where he has been all this time.

Or is it that, I met him now,

because it is now that I need him.

His name is Kahlil Gibran
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahlil_Gibran)

and he is wise...

This is what he said to me:

''Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you

as by the attitude you bring to life;

not so much by what happens to you

as by the way your mind looks at what happens.''

So many pieces of me

Travelling and just being away
brought me closer to myself today.
I know what I want and need
and feel like my spirit is freed.

I haven't hiked the highest mountain
or didn't see the most impressive fountain.
I didn't hop over to every country
or payed every earthly borderfee.

But I explored so many pieces of me
and set so many things free.
I am stronger now then I was before
no longer closing, but opening my door...

For this New Year

 

may all your wishes fly

up high in the sky

and come true,

whenever you want them to!

 

A wish on wishing paper, about to fly up...
and come true?
