I Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel, for example— I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation. Living is no laughing matter: you must take it seriously, so much so and to such a degree that, for example, your hands tied behind your back, your back to the wall, or else in a laboratory in your white coat and safety glasses, you can die for people— even for people whose faces you’ve never seen, even though you know living is the most real, the most beautiful thing. I mean, you must take living so seriously that even at seventy, for example, you’ll plant olive trees— and not for your children, either, but because although you fear death you don’t believe it, because living, I mean, weighs heavier. II Let’s say we’re seriously ill, need surgery— which is to say we might not get up from the white table. Even though it’s impossible not to feel sad about going a little too soon, we’ll still laugh at the jokes being told, we’ll look out the window to see if it’s raining, or still wait anxiously for the latest newscast. . . Let’s say we’re at the front— for something worth fighting for, say. There, in the first offensive, on that very day, we might fall on our face, dead. We’ll know this with a curious anger, but we’ll still worry ourselves to death about the outcome of the war, which could last years. Let’s say we’re in prison and close to fifty, and we have eighteen more years, say, before the iron doors will open. We’ll still live with the outside, with its people and animals, struggle and wind— I mean with the outside beyond the walls. I mean, however and wherever we are, we must live as if we will never die. III This earth will grow cold, a star among stars and one of the smallest, a gilded mote on blue velvet— I mean this, our great earth. This earth will grow cold one day, not like a block of ice or a dead cloud even but like an empty walnut it will roll along in pitch-black space . . . You must grieve for this right now —you have to feel this sorrow now— for the world must be loved this much if you’re going to say “I lived”. . . Need more nature sounds?

Fall Asleep in under 5 Minutes I remember a song stating, “Don’t be afraid of the storm, but hold your head high” You questioned me about my own storms I fell down, but got up I then walked on Faith surrounded me My arms were raised in praise I knew it was God’s amaze Yet you kept questioning me again about my storms But do you even know what your storms were in your life? A storm can be devastating, but also a learning experience through one’s living Faith is the answer and behind it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed Lightning is the advice Rain becomes the many showering blessings The wind is comfort in being at ease Hail is the battle, but victory comes from on high Praying that sustains into Lord help me please The storm is a reminder, the Lord being the Great I Am Storms are struggles that everyone must go through It’s asking for guidance in how to pursue Storms help one understand One must be able to stand and face the storms approachable As my Deceased Grandmother would often say, “We will understand after while” Storms are turbulence between your mind and soul Yet the same storms can also be rewards Blessings unmeasurable Eye on the skies and being wise Storms being the norm Storms surround our lives all about Don’t be alarmed, the storms won’t harm Need more nature sounds?

Fall Asleep in under 5 Minutes I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to see the thunder I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to have to wonder I sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to feel the rain drops I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to be there when my bubble pops I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to see the floods I’m sleeping through storms cause I want to wake up to the rose buds I’m sleeping through storms cause I want to see the blue skies I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to hear these lies I’m sleeping through storms cause I don’t want to feel anything I’m sleeping through storms cause I can’t bear to hear one more tragic thing I’m sleeping through storms to leave the past behind I’m sleeping through storms Hoping that my mind will rewind Need more nature sounds?

Fall Asleep in under 5 Minutes Dark clouds roll in over the calm waters Winds howl and signs tilt and totter As I sit and watch the big storm roll in Waves crash hard onto the sandy beaches Bright lights strike fast on the water it reaches As I sit and watch the big storm begin From the black sky, mounds of rain start to pour And boom crashes fill the open shore As I sit and watch the big storm hit peak Lights begin to dim, thunder grows quiet As nature starts to storms the storms riot As I sit and watch the big storm grow weak The seas calm and the black clouds disappear A sight of beauty to all who are near As I sit and view the storms creation Need more nature sounds?

Fall Asleep in under 5 Minutes Smooth between sea and land Is laid the yellow sand, And here through summer days The seed of Adam plays. Here the child comes to found His unremaining mound, And the grown lad to score Two names upon the shore. Here, on the level sand, Between the sea and land, What shall I build or write Against the fall of night? Tell me of runes to grave That hold the bursting wave, Or bastions to design For longer date than mine. Shall it be Troy or Rome I fence against the foam, Or my own name, to stay When I depart for aye? Nothing: too near at hand, Planing the figure sand, Effacing clean and fast Cities not built to last And charms devised in vain, Pours the confounding main. Need more nature sounds?

Fall Asleep in under 5 Minutes I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
