If this doesn't inspire you, then I don't know what will, I feel slightly let down by the fact I've only just discovered him, he is more than a genius, he's also a beacon of hope for anyone who has a dream. No matter how much defeat we may face in life... just watch it !

Gordorn Parks deserves our attention unless of course if you already know of him.

A photographer, a poet, a composer, a director and an author.

Enjoy his life story.

When he awakes in the morning, Dodge's world will be shaken with the jarring headaches from a hell of a hangover- and he will awake unknown to the fact that his wild night saw the beginning of the end of his time left in the Bay, cos of his boozed-up boasting here. Yup, while having all the sly street smarts that coasted him through life and the people he met, its gonna be his own big mouth that finally slurs out the truth about himself and the fire. The results are great- roll on next ep!

Tears are words that need to be written

Published on August 2, 2011 in Aleph. 2 Comments

(I am giving a conference in Tunis, Tunisia, in April 2006)

The conversation continues, time passes quickly and I need to wrap things up. For the last question, I choose, at random, out of the six hundred people there, a middle-aged man with a bushy moustache.
‘I don’t want to ask a question,’ he says. ‘I just want to say a name.’
The name he pronounces is that of Barbazan-Debat, a chapel in the middle of nowhere, thousands of kilometres from here, the same chapel where, one day, I placed a plaque in gratitude for a miracle and which I had visited, before setting out on this pilgrimage, in order to pray for Our Lady’s protection.
I don’t know how to respond. The following words were written by one of the other people on stage with me.

In the room, the Universe seemed suddenly to have stopped moving. So many things happened: I saw your tears and the tears of your dear wife, when that anonymous reader pronounced the name of that distant chapel.

You could no longer speak. Your smiling face grew serious. Your eyes filled with shy tears that trembled on your lashes, as if wishing to apologise for appearing there uninvited.
Even I had a lump in my throat, although I didn’t know why. I looked for my wife and daughter in the audience, because I always look to them whenever I feel myself to be on the brink of something unknown.
They were there, but they were sitting as silently as everyone else, their eyes fixed on you, trying to support you with their gaze, as if a gaze could ever support anyone.
Then I looked to Christina for help, trying to understand what was going on, how to bring to an end that seemingly interminable silence.
And I saw that she was silently crying too, as if you were both notes from the same symphony and as if your tears were touching, even though you were sitting far apart.
For several long seconds, nothing existed, there was no room, no audience, nothing. You and your wife had set off for a place where we could not follow; all that remained was the joy of living, expressed in silence and emotion.

Words are tears that have been written down. Tears are words that need to be shed. Without them, joy loses all its brilliance and sadness has no end. Thank you, then, for your tears.

I should have said to the young woman who asked the first question about signs that this was a sign, confirming that I was where I should be, in the right place, at the right time, even though I didn’t understand what had brought me there.

taken from ALEPH

My favorite line is " Tears say what you cant " Taken from the french film " A Very Long Engagement " A truly beautiful movie, very inspiring, when I heard them read that line in the movie, I totally knew what they meant f as I know this feeling well. Being in an emotional state isn't always a curse, but a secret blessing... what you chose to do when those times arise is entirely up to you. X

I dont think there is anyone as dignified and as classy as Sade ! Effortless and in a league of her own, iconic in her own right and her music is timeless. I just love her.

Dalton was my dad's best friend, he passed away on friday. I really really liked dalton a lot. Even though i'd not seen him for a couple of years, i'd always miss his presence when he wasn't arguing with my dad they were so funny together they were like laurel and hardy, odd friends but it just worked... gosh I feel bad for not going to see him when he became ill, I ment to but some how never got round to it... and now i'll never get to say goodbye properly.

I took this of dalton and his son Nii back in 95, we had such a laugh.

R.I.P DALTON THOMPSON I miss your laugh and sense of humor already. I cant believe your no longer here.

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
