Would it mean, necesarily, that you have no breath?

anne artist said...

or that i had forgotten how to breathe.........

Sara said...

Or just forget to breath and no the how to do it, perhaps.

anne artist said...

yet, if i feel as if i am behind........the phrase in english is "running behind" then am i racing someone or something?

if i can't keep up........with what can i not keep up? and is it the fear of losing that takes away my breath?

Sara said...

It seems to me like the "why was I born" issue....

What would you rather to run behind?

What doesn't take my breath away, perhaps.

anne artist said...

ah, yes, the fine art of breathing.

i might like to walk along and look at the countryside and just let other people run by me.

Sara said...

I love when things take my breath away.

anne artist said...

yes........the enormous stillness within the expansiveness of it all...........

Sara said...

Y lo delicioso que eso suena sólo por haber esperado el momento adecuado para cambiar, persuadir, demostrar y correr lo más rápido posible mientras la expansión sigue pisando tus talones sin tener vida propia y armar la belleza más inesperada contra el viento.

It's good to sigh once in life.

anne artist said...

without stepping on your own life...........that is so amazing........i love those words!

to sigh is to remind ourselves that we are alive..........i had not thought about that before.............

Sara said...

I don't remember where I heard this: "What's better to feel oneself alive than almost die?"
I think but not sure, it was while watching a movie.

anne artist said...

yes. when we almost die, don't we experience the moment intensely, rather than looking away?

Sara said...

So many things we ignore.
How could be change that stupid act once and for all?

Mi alma grita y pide por conocimiento.

anne artist said...

"our soul cries out for knowledge"......how ironic since our soul might be the aspect of us which already knows........

to ignore that which we could give us knowledge........to not see that which could give us vision.......

Sara said...

Do you really think our souls are our conection to the heaven divinity?
And if so, would that be a ramification of your words "our soul might be the aspect of us which already knows"?
And if fo, again, is it the knowledge as we perceive it?

Que palabras...

anne artist said...

perhaps it is knowing that which we cannot know.

Sara said...

Or have...neither?

anne artist said...

which would you prefer?

Sara said...

Complicated...
I guess I rather know knowledge, so I could try to find it.

anne artist said...

and if you felt as if you knew something, what would you do then?

Sara said...

After driving me crazy, I guess I would take a look at the sky and wonder for the race which started this conversation and say for my deep inside: "now I know I don't know anything, the only thing I have left is to keep wondering, as going back to my very first begining".

wonder-ful...........
