THERE’S SOMETHING I HAVE LEARNED FROM WHAT I’VE LlVED<\/p>\n
There’s something I have learned from what I’ve lived:
\nlf you’re to live something, live it to its fullest
\nYour beloved should fall exhausted from your kisses
\nYou should fall exhausted from smelling a flower<\/p>\n
One can watch the sky for hours
\nCan for hours watch the sea, a bird, a child
\nTo live on earth is to mingle with it
\nGrowing roots that cannot be eradicated<\/p>\n
When you hug a friend you should hug him vigorously
\nYou should fight with all your muscles, body, passion
\nAnd once you stretch out on the hot sand
\nYou should rest like a grain of sand, a leaf, a stone<\/p>\n
One should listen to all the beautiful music on earth
\nSo as to fill all his being with sounds and songs
\nOne should dive into life as if
\nDiving from a rock into an emerald sea<\/p>\n
Distant lands should lure you, people you do not know
\nYou should burn with desire to read all the books, to know all the lives
\nYou should not exchange for anything the pleasure of drinking a glass of water
\nAll the joys should fill you with the yearning to live<\/p>\n
And you should live grief also, with honor, with all your being
\nFor grief also, like joy, matures a person
\nYour blood should mingle with the great circulation of life
\nIn your veins must circulate the eternal fresh blood of life<\/p>\n
There is something I have learned from what I’ve lived:
\nIf you’re to live, live big, as if you are mingling with the rivers, the sky, the whole universe
\nFor what we call a life span is a gift to life
\nAnd life is a gift to mankind<\/p>\n
