Daily Thought

[Tesora]

Seems a shame, to me, though, to curb the "Jolly Gang". Hope you find another outlet to express the fun of your free spirits.

(I mentioned this on another thread, but I'll post again here to make sure none of the "jolly gang" or anyone else misses it):

Well, I decided to take Renate's advice and start a separate blog for anyone from here who wishes to chat and continue friendships that do not necessarily tie in to our dear Andrea directly.

The link is http://tesoracoffeeshop.blogspot.com/ For now I will leave it open to all who want to join in, with no moderating and no restrictions on entry. Assuming it isn't abused, I think this is the fairest way to go about it.

I noticed that the chat room was inaccessible earlier, so hopefully this will provide another forum for those of us "chatty" types with too much time on our hands.

All the best,

Tesora

You will still come here as well ?

Oh, absolutely!! I still have my Andrea toolbar and will read the posts here too. I don't want to take anything away from Andrea's site. This is still the place to go to talk about anything and everything Andrea.

Tesora's On-line Coffee Shop is just designed to keep the non-Andrea banter somewhere else so we can stay focused on AB when we're here.

Oh good !
It would be a shame if the "chatterers" kept away from here....

And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.

William Wordsworth


That best portion of a good man’s life,—
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.


All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.

[Juliet01]

Beautiful, Alexandra.

Many thanks for that.

[Alexandra]

One more on the same subject...


All love is sweet,
Given or returned. Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not ever.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

[Darcy]

Thanks, Sasha.

[Alexandra]

Beautiful...

Sing again, with your dear voice revealing
A tone
Of some world far from ours,
Where music and moonlight and feeling
Are one.


Percy Bysshe Shelley. To Jane. The keen Stars were twinkling.

"We should take care not to make the intellect our god;
it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."

In auto:

"Scusa puoi tirare su il finestrino che ho problemi al trigemino...cosa fai?
accendi l'aria condizionata? Ma se ho già fatto tre bronchiti!" "Va beh, ho
caldo, cosa faccio? accendo la radio?" "No, la radio no, perché ho già un
po' di mal di testa" "Sì, ma se me lo dicevi prima ci portavamo il polmone
d'acciaio".

Being your slave what should I do but tend
by William Shakespeare

Being your slave what should I do but tend,
Upon the hours, and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend;
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are, how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love, that in your will,
Though you do anything, he thinks no ill.

ESTATE

Music and lyrics by Bruno Brighetti, Alejandro F. Lerner,
and Bruno Livraghi - ("Amore" CD - Andrea Bocelli)

Sei calda come i baci che ho perduto
Sei piena di un amore che a passato
Che il cuore mio vorrebbe cancellar

Odio l'estate
Il sole che ogni giorno ci saldava
Che splendidi tramonti dipingeva
Addeso brucia solo con furor

Tornera un altro inverno
Cadranno mille petali di rose
La neve copira tutte le cose
E forse un po di pace tornera

Odio l'estate
Che hai dato il tuo profumo ad ogni fiore
L'estate che hai creato il nostro amore
Per farmi poi morire di dolor

Tornera un altro inverno
Cadranno mille petali di rose
La neve copira tutte le cose
E forse un po di pace tornera

Odio l'estate...odio l'estate..odio l'estate

"I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent and this is what I have devoted my life to".

magnifiche parole tutti.
scusate ma visto che si tratta di poesia, vorrei scrivere una cosa scritta prima da me:

E le sue parole erano come sabbia negli occhi,
erano sabbia negli occhi,
erano acqua pura,
brezza primaverile
e tepore umano.
E avrei dato la vita per udire semrpe quelle parole.

Ci avete mai pensato ai testi delle canzoni? come ci influezano e tutto il resto? scusate era solo così per dire...

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the
other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure
of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not
balanced by sadness."

~ Carl Jung

About song Estate:I don´t like lyrics of this song (Odio l´estate...), i like summer. And maybe i don´t understand it well.
About summer: I don´t like much when it´s hot weather and when i´m bored toooo much (you know-without school). But this summer was very good. Especialy august. Just in august i discovered opera. And this is great. .
This is my opinion. Sorry if this doesn´t belong here .

"Silence is the best music in my opinion. But you must prepare for
the silence. Play something before and something afterwards."

.....LA VOCE DEL SILENZIO

En el silencio estan todas aquellas cosas que creiamos perdidas.....


Para muchos el silencio, es un buen ejercicio para el alma, pero no todos lo ven asi. Hay que tener el coraje......

Coraje? You are right! I had the 'coraje' (courage) to tell my neighbour upstairs to stop taking her furniture for a walk around their apartment every day because I needed peace and quiet to do my meditation exercise and to talk to myself. The husband apologized but she was furious. Some people are afraid of silence because they don't want to hear 'La voce della coscienza" (the voice of the conciensce)...

[jezabel66a]

Si, asi es para mi tambien.
Creo que quienes huyen del silencio como propia eleccion, temen enfrentar lo que les "dice" el silencio. No saben que se pierden.....


( Entiendo tu padecer, que fastidio un vecino que "mueve" muebles... )

[westsiderny]

C'è il silenzio del cielo prima del temporale,
delle foreste prima che si levi il vento,
del mare calmo della sera, di quelli che si amano,
della nostra anima,
poi c'è il silenzio che chiede soltanto
di essere ascoltato.

~ Romano Battaglia
